The world is full of weed-smoking go-getters, you just don't know who they are

The high levels of thc concentration make the new drugs ‘not your dad’s weed’

[lotsofpulp]

Is there any data to show population wide issues being caused by this “not your dad’s weed”?

And even if there were, how is it any different than being able to buy 80 proof vodka versus 4.5% beer.

I reject any argument for cannabis regulation as long as alcohol is less restricted. I don’t even use cannabis, or ever have. I just know from lots of experience that people high on cannabis have caused me zero problems, compared to an innumerable problems from people high on alcohol.
