I agree with the rest but I want some elaboration on that, 'cause if you're just saying that to make it look good and you don't have reasons behind saying it, it makes us all look stupid man.
Tobacco and marijuana were cash crops that built this nations. Our founding fathers and the native Americans before them would partake in the smoke. Also, the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper.
That's just off the top of my head. I'm not in the habbit of saying things without evidence.
Alright just so you know and I will put sources down for my info the Declaration of Independence was written on parchment, (animal skin used as paper: second question in this
Source) I bet there were plantations of marijuana back then but it was never a major cash crop that built the nation, and there is no proof that the founding fathers smoked weed at any point, now that doesn't mean they didn't, there just isn't documentation of it, and Native Americans yes they smoke it but they didn't build the country so it's kinda irrelevant. (The part about the founding fathers is kinda like you have to take my word when I tell a story about something in my life, but for all you know I could be lying, because I have no actual proof to back up my story.)
Don't let people just tell you things man, research it and confirm it for yourself. I mean when I started smoking weed I went and did my research on it's effects short and long term and I made sure that anything that was said was legitimate and not just a lie, so I knew what I was getting myself into before I kept doin' it. After my research I thought that the risk was worth the reward as long as I was cautious, hence why I don't get high very often, maybe twice or three time a month.
