If anything, cannabis seems like a much better (and more profitable) drug around which to build a leisurely establishment.

    I’m tired of these people that are so scared of cannabis and it’s effects, like they are straight out of reefer madness. You know what’s significantly more harmful and in practically everything you consume these days? Sugar. Caffeine is a close second.

      Source for the caffeine claim? As far as I know caffeine is inversely correlated with all-cause mortality. The mechanism is uncertain but has been theorized to be mild appetite suppression, digestion, or coffee outweighing the caffeine itself.

        The comment might be conflating their given stat with legal drugs that are addictive. Caffeine is more addictive, not more harmful. It still kinda goes to the same point of a rejection of cannabis use on the basis of harm/addiction being generally hypocritical of society though
