well it's a fairly addictive drug and physical and psychological dependency can creep up on you. your life can begin to revolve around the next joint at a certain point and it can make you apathetic to a depressive routine of not going out much or pushing yourself to do anything other than play videogames and smoke. some people will attest that it aids motivation for them but i find the inverse to be more common. in terms of purely physical detrimental effects it's definitely nbd compared to cigs or alcohol, but knock-on effects from ending up in a sedentary lifestyle and eating poor quality food can be a concern with heavy users, it can also exacerbate depression or anxiety with heavy dependency. you can end up depending on it just to go to the store or do social interaction or even pull yourself out of bed. speaking as a 10+ year stoner who has had better and worse periods with this stuff. ultimately it's a massive reduction in harm compared to say alcohol dependency but people definitely underrated the damage it could do for a while, up until a few years ago where that started seeing some healthy pushback. it obviously has legitimate medicinal applications too but ime self medication can spiral into recreational dependency quite easily.
you know "straight pride" is in the same category of thing as "male pride" and "white pride", right? it's a homophobic thing to invoke. nobody cares that you're part of the hegemonic sexuality group, it's not something to be proud of.
I don't see why I can't also be proudly straight.

you're mostly identifying quirks of capitalism. you need dialectical materialism. cops and judges are straight up agents of capital and are the arm of the state which exerts its monopoly on violence. they are more or less all bad people by definition and your enemies. doctors under capitalism act as gatekeepers of live saving medical care and profit off people's need for it. also usually from privileged backgrounds so lacking empathy and likely your class enemy if they own their own practice. another unsavoury bunch. teachers generally are better people with at least some kind of noble goals but the school system under capitalism is more akin to prison and is inherently abusive. individual teachers can't exactly change the system much from the inside so a lot of them end up perpetuating the cycle of it.

finally switched to linux on my main machine shortly after hearing about the offensively short EOL. never looking back
go directly to racism. liberals never change
america is bad hope this helps
its ok to vilify straightness hope this helps. you are not oppressed in any way for being straight lmao. this is the "complaining about anti-white racism" of misunderstanding sexuality power dynamics. queer people are telling you to shut up and you're doubling down on your chauvinism, consider
you suck!
