Yes? And?
Per my prior post -- some activities are not enhanced with cannabis.
Don't do them. We are not talking using it 24/7 whereby the features
of cnnabis are permanent.
As per my previous post: In long term (or even relatively short term)
use perfusion is diminished to areas of the frontal lobe, thus memory
recall is impaired even when not using.
If it only happened during use, it wouldn't be such a big deal.
And the gateway drug thing may not be a myth.
Put it this way: I don't want to be the heart attack victim in an ER

See above. Demonstrated long ago in cerebral perfusion imaging
studies. Think swiss cheese. Mmmm.
nor do I
want that guy as my pilot trying to land by plane in the Hudson river
