Riiiiight... I'm pretty sure most of the people here, while they may not experience serious negative effects of Cannabis, realize that ABUSE of any drug is not recommended for a functional adult life. Obviously "drugs" are here to help... but CAN harm. I'm pretty sure that is why there is such a discussion over the drug ABUSE of this woman. It's not like we are looking at someone with a smokers cough and saying... "Ahhh, they didn't get that from smoking buds!" She has lost what looks like 100+lbs... is missing teeth... has cuts (many self-inflicted)... and has turned into a side show exhibit.

Now please... if you really think that consumption of Cannabis is solely to blame for such a drastic transformation, that's fine... I guess? I believe the purpose of this post was to show the absurdity of the story. I'm going to speculate that the cornucopia of OTHER substances was the major contributing factor.

So yeah.... OF COURSE there are negative results from consuming a combusted plant. Possibly even from vaping... eating... etc. But if you honestly think that ANYONE here is ignoring those possibilities because of this post... I hate to say it, but this site has probably not much left to offer you.

I think we have ALL come to the conclusion that Cannabis can be EXTREMELY beneficial to our lives... when used RESPONSIBLY.

The word of the day is ABUSE
