the word is moderation just like with alcohol , why don’t you print some figures about the danger of alcohol , or you just have to look around the villages and quote figures about the dangers of eating to much , moderation in every thing , also the legal states in the marijuana business ,brought in $3.77 billion in 2022in tax revenue Just think how much more revenue there would be in Florida if it was taxed ..So for me I’ll keep buying the illegal weed when I’m in the villages and enjoying a nice joint with some wine and maybe a little Miles Davis.I’ve said I’ve been enjoying weed since a teenager ,but I’ve probably had maybe 3 or 4 cigarettes in my whole life and never finished them
