#cannabis -- The cannabis community, especially the former/current legalization campaigners and activists, and especially the medical marijuana users find the idea of "reefer madness" and the stupid and lazy stoner stereotype extremely offensive.
We are responsible adults with careers, families, and responsibilities and we contribute to society.
THESE STEREOTYPES ARE USED AGAINST US ALL THE TIME.
It allows everyone to dismiss, ignore, and ridicule us. It prevents change to cannabis laws.

Pentropy (pentropy@lazysocial.de)'s status on Thursday, 22-Feb-2024 06:41:34 JST Pentropy @jeffowski it's just as if not more offensive to struggling people to implicate that non-functioning people would be bad or worth less than other human beings. Makes ma wonder if "Church of Jeff" is an alias for "Church of Ayn Rand"

Church of Jeff (jeffowski@mastodon.world)'s status on Wednesday, 12-Jun-2024 08:07:24 JST Church of Jeff @Magooish -- I'm a sufferer of extreme depression and anxiety. I went off all my meds in 2013 so that I could reset and found that cannabis worked great. It's been eleven years and am a constant consumer with no "High" at all.

Dimples (magooish@mas.to)'s status on Wednesday, 12-Jun-2024 08:07:25 JST Dimples @jeffowski one of my favorite people in the universe is an every day almost constant weed user. He’s brilliant. He’s funny. He accesses parts of his brain I’d never be able to do myself.
The weed keeps that access manageable. It helps him focus and cuts out the anxiety that comes with his brilliance. He’s beyond productive, he’s genius.
