Oh you misunderstood I think, it was perfectly possible to get good quality weed, even at decent prices if you know the right people, but to say it was common place is just wrong, most people would not have had those connections, if you did; good for you. But that was NOT anywhere close to "normal".

Seemed pretty normal to me. I didn't seek them out, they shared with me and other hardworking sorts. I always did have good taste.

I would have to agree that smoking pot can instill fear in a person, especially if it's their last piece of bud and they can't locate a dealer.

That's some scary stuff right there!

Geesh... Tobacco companies will say anything to eliminate competition.

Big Tobacco is already gearing up to move to growing pot because it'll be much more profitable, don't be absurd. If you read the minutes of their stockholder meetings you'd know that. :\

Anxiety, or anxiety attacks have been a known side effect of marijuana use for decades. I used to get them once in a while as a youth. They can be severe enough to make you think you're dying or having a heart attack (personal experience here) I learned quick to chug a couple beers or something and they would fade away.

it's really a side effect of specific strands of cannabis.

not all cannabis is the same.

If tomatoes give you heart burn, it'd be a stretch to say 'Fruit' gives you heartburn.
