People will complain that decriminalization isn't enough, but really it's the important thing. Legalization would be nice, but it's really not the important point.

It's all good. I could definitely top your stories with the negatives anyway. It's the worst addiction I ever had and brought me to some insane lows where I was losing my fuckin mind. But I worked it out and can use it without taking it too far again.

Well, let me tell a story. I once had a boss who had a terrible bicycling accident that required major surgery. He was prescribed some heavy duty opiates when he was released. He took them for about a day, but he ended up getting his medical marijuana card and threw away the pills.

Marijuana is a competitor to many of their products especially sleep aids (which aren't really sleep aids but antipsychotics being prescribed for their side effects) and pain killers.

Also it only needs to be decriminalized for businesses to have access to federally protected banks, right? Or does that require legalization?

I have serious doubts about the actual practical use of marijuana as a pain killer. What's the dose response curve look like for analgesia vs the psychotropic effects?

Even coming at this from a purely skeptical viewpoint, the liability for addiction is a good thing for these companies, and given the lack of it with marijuana, seems less likely overtake.

Kinda seems like a silly take. I'm not saying there's absolutely no clinical uses for marijuana, but I don't think there's much that's been shown to actually be effective enough to be that important. Exceptions being for appetite for those on drugs that suppress appetite, like chemotherapy.

I've always seen the issue of marijuana criminalization having much more to do with culture and systemic racism than corporatism.

It's intended for chronic pain, such as long term injury you might have from a car accident.

Some entire areas just reek with it and it not even legal. I actively call cops on them. Funny enough they usually have much bigger reasons to not want the cops about so it typically works.

Apartments/jobs would still have their own rules so technically this is fine.
