Having seen the US states slowly start legalizing weed and seeing the consequences it’s obvious it always ends poorly for those states.
Good luck Germany, you’re going to need it.
Effects on Cognition Early studies suggested cognitive declines associated with marijuana (especially early and heavy use); these declines persisted long after the period of acute cannabis intoxication.44–46 Recently, Meier and colleagues analyzed data from a prospective study which followed subjects from birth to age 38; their findings yielded supportive evidence that cannabis use, when begun during adolescence, was associated with cognitive impairment in multiple areas, including executive functioning, processing speed, memory, perceptual reasoning, and verbal comprehension.47 Rogeberg48 criticized the study’s methodology, claiming that the results were confounded by differences in socioeconomic status; this claim, however, was based on sub-analyses that used very small numbers. Additional sub-analyses49 of the original study cohort showed that marijuana was just as prevalent in populations of higher socioeconomic status, suggesting that socioeconomic status was not a confounding variable. Any epidemiological study is subject to confounding biases and future research will be needed to clarify and quantify the relationship between cognitive decline and adolescent marijuana use. However, the findings of the original study by Meier et al show there is indeed an independent relationship between loss of intelligence and adolescent marijuana use. This finding, moreover, is consistent with prior studies.44

I think this makes sense accept for smoking in public needs to be like tobacco so that I don't have to smell the burn. I personally like smoking weed btw. For me it helps me to focus on things because I am a bit ADD it really helps that too. Low anxiety if you partake in a bud IMO.

That's interesting, I'm on the ADD spectrum, I love it too but I can't seem to get anything done when I have it. I know it's my fault becausei have no temperance with it 😒

Each of us have to find our balance in life of what works and what doesn't. Some of us can't stand to smell it at all but will eat a gummy that will rock you. I found that the vocalist who smoked it and got rich singing didn't seem to complain it hurt their productivity. I suppose it takes all types to make the world spin properely.
