Yes, people smoked pot and ended up fairly ok. But how many young people are now dealing with psychosis and related ailments as a result of pot smoking? The industry glosses over the mental health ramifications because they want the profits - I've seen ruined lives because of it. Not a fan.
The marijuana of today has been modified and can more easily cause issues like cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome and even possible psychosis depending on the strain and usage.

This was amazing! Thank you Rabbi. Only one thing tweaked me a little….lol! I disagree that when we are 60 70 80 we are going to look “awful”. I live in South Florida and see beautiful 75-95 year old men and women often…I’m 60 years old in June and I don’t look awful!
