Dear Weed Smoker,
If you want to smoke weed even after knowing all side effects, by all means do it proudly. It’s your Choice. Your life or Your death.

BUT!
Don’t unfortunately tell me,
“It is medical!”
Cos, asides a Low self esteem what else are you suffering from?🤷🏽‍♀️

And before you argue,
1) Are drugs not meant to be approved first by FDA and NAFDAC (atleast for Nigeria)
2) Are drugs not meant to be prescribed by a doctor and in doses?
3) Don’t you first have to be sick to take a drug?
4) Have you ever even honestly read about it?🤷🏽‍♀️

If you will all be honest to yourselves, you will know you are honestly grasping at straws you can’t see.

Yes Marijuana has health properties, Yes it is used in treating Nausea, Chronic pain, loss of appetite in HIV and Cancer patients. Also Multiple sclerosis and Seizures.

In all the above categories... where do you fall in?
Even you who wants to argue know you are just hearing their detail for the first time, but no... it is for medical reasons.

Also, smoking that can damage your lungs is now a route of administration abi?
Be wise👇🏽

You can also argue that you don’t smoke the weed. You eat it. In different forms, Lol.

You have missed the point.
I will reiterate.
If a ‘drug’ was not prescribed for a particular health reason and in doses, it is abuse.

There is a reason it hasn’t yet been approved by the FDA

The medical components of Marijuana are still under research. Has been approved in some countries, Yes

But even in those countries, there is drug regulation. Because IT IS A DRUG.

Stop deceiving our teens, telling them it is medicinal.
Do you chew Paracetamol before a headache?

It is better to say,
“Yes I know taking weed is not good for my health but I enjoy it and I am ready to bear the consequences.”

“I smoke. It is not good. I want to stop. Help me.”
THAN to say

“It is medical”. Shatap!
In your case, Weed is the sickness, not the cure
#SipsZobo

Summary:
Please, choose good health.
Hopefully, the FDA and scientists speed up their research and we can have better cures to plaguing ailments.

Medical cannabis is welcome, it’s abuse is a No No!
Don’t mortgage your future for pleasures of today
