cannabis reform fix

I am susceptible to exaggeration.  You must at least assess the risks and be very careful when attempting to use cannabis.  There is a culture behind the drug and all aspects of psychological influence should be evaluated.  Cannabis may make you crazy simply because other people do not like it for whatever reason.  Social interaction( nurture) undeniably has a strong relationship with our mental health.  However, I do believe the direct physiological influence cannabis has on the brain is detrimental, at least slightly.  If you are more interested in being a pothead( note this term as an example as a label to the image of a cannabis user.  "stoner" is another one) aka happy dopamine flowing individual, than putting 100% effort towards something, than that is your decision.   Cannabis has been reliably shown to induce short term memory and cognitive deficits, and these are not beneficial to any real devoted training regimen of any kind.  Personally, I feel the deficit stays for at least a week or more(several weeks) and I've heard others speak of "cloudiness" for this duration as a result of cannabis use.  Perhaps some day a culture will exist where cannabis use is not so demonized and psychological effects stemming from social norm violation or general disapproval will not be so prominent.  I would say most people of an educated background see the lack of open-mindedness in many of the current population's views.  This lack is coupled with bias and discriminatory views that are hurtful to the lives of others because they are stressful.  As I stated at an earlier date in this blog, science is the way to destroy this.  The truth lies with science, and data cannot be ignored, whatever your philosophical standpoint.  There is no denying what scientific research has proven about human biology and other topics.  If not absolute theory, than 99.99(u know the idea) association, which is the best evidence one can have about believing something.

If you are well versed in philosophical abstraction and/or other topics concerning the validity of science and have opposing knowledge that would guide my thinking better, please post me back; but from what I have seen/read (which is relatively little), there does not seem to be any fallacy.

dont smoke it.  it will make you different and your desires will change.  Science needs more research on the effects on academics and sports.  The effects are far more noticeable when going hard in the paint( effort is maximized).  Cannabis is simply a poor influence on human endeavors.
