Last i checked cancer isn’t harmless either, which cannabis extract known as rick simpsons help oil can help eradicate. Overall i like the fact that its not a one sided story

You mentioned that consuming cannabis as well as other things such as coffee at a young age can alter the development of the brain due to a “plasticity property”. You go on to loosely associate the crop with caffeine and tobacco, which are both addictive, and you conclude that because you associate it with bad things, that any alteration of the brain’s development must be a bad one. I doubt you’re right about that, but even if you are, your reasoning here is retarded. I think that more likely, at a young age, you were taught that whatever the authorities tell you over and over must, in some way, be right, and your brain plasticized itself around this fallacy. Do yourself a favour and learn to do proper science.

For the most part I think cannabis helps me to concentrate a lot better than I normally would. Who doesn’t have a million things they could be getting on with and sometimes multitasking is necessary. Cannabis usually helps me to get engrossed in one thing that I am doing rather than my usual day-to-day of jumping from one task to another without getting very far at actually doing anything. So if anything it sounds like cannabis helps to make you smarter. Who woulda thunk it!
