My personal opinion is not at issue, in fact, I do like it. What I don't like is the circumvention of processes we've put in place to create, dispense, and control medicine. These are not perfect, but are better than fiat by initiative.
If you want some facts, silent_jay, try the NIH web site. The facts about addiction rates, psychosis, long term side-effects, etc, are there for all to see. I'm sure you've heard of the National Institute of Health.
Your personal experiences with weed (and no, it's not just weed, it's a psychoactive substance that alters your brain chemistry) are actually not unusual. Others have had bad and, yes, fatal experiences. It is foolish to ignore that. If you decide you are taking an acceptable risk, that is your decision to make, just don't get behind the wheel of your car while stoned. That makes your choice a private act with public consequences.
