You didn’t need to say cannabis was good, you suggested that it was better that we think of the plant smoked as cannabis than tobacco as to warn people about the societal ills of tobacco use.
I’m not going to do a lit review of all of the studies about cannabis risk for you, I just picked an article that cited the one you provided with a different conclusion. The point is that there is no academic consensus on this and we don’t need to revise LOTR because of your feelings about tobacco.
Bro I think you might need to back off with the ad hominems.
You’re getting very worked up about the comments of a memes page on a piece of fiction.
It’s not my fault you chose a paper that doesn’t back up your own point.
Jackson chose to portray pipe weed as cannabis. Tolkien wrote it as tobacco. Tobacco is incredibly harmful, to portray pipe weed as cannabis rather than tobacco in future adaptations doesn’t harm the gist of the story in any way. It adds a bit of fun (like Merry and Pippin stoned out their faces raiding Saruman’s stores) and prevents the glorification of what we now know to be an incredibly harmful substance. Tobacco is in the same classification as asbestos for harm, according to the WHO. Would you like to breathe in some asbestos?
Bro I think you might need a T break.
