My 2 cents, live and let live..
Irrespective of someones view on it socially, from a patient care /medical point of view, its sad were only now trying to unlock the benefit of the plant. I think its fantastic that people pushed the establishment enough that were now scratching the surface of some real benefit for patients. Real documented breakthroughs in patient care with horrible afflictions like ALS, Parkinson, neurological disorders, or and even cancer. Watch a video of a child with uncontrollable seizures before and after its use and and tell me to take away their chance at a basic life because someone taught us it was wrong...
For patients fighting these terrible things, having a choice means everything. My father-in law, stone cold sober all his life and strictly by the book. He faced a choice, $50k per dose experimental pharma bend-over stuff or nearly free CBD treatment and guess what, CBD has given him remission and no more terrible choice of "should i try to spend our last $50k on some pharma stuff and leave my family broke if i die"... Too bad, he could have taken it a lot earlier but because society demonized it for so long, he took it off the table till it was almost too late...
My wife Jeanne is an ICU nurse in Boston and can tell you with ZERO hesitation, patients that are using it chronically for long term pain management, appetite stimulation, anxiety, vs those taking prescriptions is NIGHT and DAY.. People taking synthetic drugs see a major toll on the body, stomach lining, kidneys, liver with scrips.
On the "get high" side, I lived with an alcoholic father and lost my sister to it at the age of 32. I'm not preaching anti-drinking, i'm only telling you this, we also had pot heads in the family and their still ticking, you'll never loose anyone with pot, not a liver, not a tooth, nothing...
I wish more people were brave enough to have an open mind and not stick to what they learned.
2 cents...
