      1. Glad you finally realize it. On a serious note, if you’re an idiot and do weed, you will be an idiot still and it’s not the weed. Same applies to prescription meds, alcohol, or whatever other drugs you want to be against. Quit blaming drugs for human stupidity, these morons are dumb before they get their fix.
