If everyone you know has consumed cannabis for only "health" and not health reasons you must be blessed to not have much cancer or other serious ongoing debilitating illnesses among your family and friends. Count yourself lucky.

For folks in those situations it can be a true blessing.

Its the exact same thing with morphine, opiates. On one hand they're the scourge of society and abuse of them is a real problem, but for a soldier dying on the battlefield from horrible injuries, or someone dying of the unbelievable pain of sickel cell, in those situations we call it one of the best inventions ever, so much so it'd inventor/discoverer was given a Nobel prize.

Long story short, I've known some. But they all died of cancer. Thanks for putting them down.
