I think cannabis is a great harm reduction tool, compared to harder and more dangerous drugs like Alcohol, Heroin, etc. It is truly a blessing compared to those.
But there is an aura of "harmlessness" going around it and I think it is detrimental to public health, because people think it is okay to smoke weed everyday all day long - the same people that will condemn "daily drinking" as it should be condemned (as a terrible, health wreaking habit).
Many people, including me in the past, use or have used something (food? drugs? you know your shit) as a daily coping mechanism to "issues" or "stuff". If that's your case, seeking help and changing your environment the best way you can is way better than sweeping it all under the rug with a daily something that makes it all good for some hours, and then you refill. It takes fortitude to step up and change, but you can do it if you change your frame of mind. I'm rooting for your change out there.
I have no issues with cannabis at all and I think it's way, way superior as a chill out, relaxation thing than alcohol. But I also think that daily "wake and bake" could be a sign that something is off, so please be mindful of your surroundings, environment, and listen to how you feel.
My hope is the rescheduling will permit proper research into the pros/cons so we have a better idea of all this. It's hard to do most clinical trials on a Schedule 1 substance.
