>Marijuana has been used for millennia as medicine why all the hate?

What "hate?" I read the whole thread and I cannot fathom anything even close to anything that could be considered "hate?"

What I read was an extremely mild annoyance at how potheads have developed something extremely similar to a religious cult where their favorite (and my favorite) recreational drug must always be praised and its minuscule benefits must always be exaggerated and paired with a ridiculous and frankly comical pretense at "oppression" because it's not technically legal (although it is de facto legal for virtually everyone reading this website and most like it.)

Try selling pounds of it and tell me that it's only "technically" illegal. Or try being non-white, in which case your chances of being arrested for even personal-use amounts go way up. Or an ex-con failing their piss test on probation and going back to jail, or a manual laborer denied work-related injury insurance claims because they smoked a joint on the weekend. I know many people fucked over by the legal system over this drug that you seem to think is not actively prohibited.
