And the s/a community doesn't seem to either. There is decades of research trying to establish a definitive link between trying pot and turning into a full-blown junkie. Most of it is politically motivated.
When a family member's cancer was diagnosed as in three systems and "untreatable" his doc put him on full dose, no-holds-barred chemo. He wanted pot because he thought it might make him feel better. I got him some (but at that point I would have acquired heroin or anything else he wanted - it was that bad). He had a nasty episode of internal bleeding - and the people in the ER (I was honest with them) initially blamed it on the pot. Idiots.
