We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

How are you the only level-headed person in this thread?

Stoners on the internet generally seem to think it's a cure-all.

I smoked last night but even I know it's not good for you. It's an escape. It's likely safer than alcohol... as edibles anyway... but smoking it is likely on par with smoking cigarettes and vaping is going to increase cancer rates too.

I suspect it degrades your ability to recall memory too and that the more you use it the worse it gets, but that's hard to quantify given that our memory seems to get worse as we age anyway.
