I agree that cannabis is (for most people) much less harmful than alcohol or cigarettes. But this does not mean that it is harmless. I quote from the article: "Like other recreational drugs, cannabis squeezes down blood flow, leading to brain cell damage and death [of brain cells, that is!]. Amen's research has found that this particularly affects the temporal lobes. This area is responsible for memory. Could this, he wonders, be a reason for the poor memory and lack of motivation that chronic users often report." The article acknowledges that this will come as a shock to those who want to downgrade cannabis from a class B to a class C drug.
One last plea to "chronic users": please don't support the criminal economy of Obs by getting your supplies from car guards. But then, I suppose, this could simply be an argument for decriminalising it. It must be difficult to avoid supporting the criminal economy unless you grow your own! So I think I may be on your side!
