Strangelight is arrogant, judgmental. Many people take weed for recreation and pain relief. It is only a problem if the user gets addicted.

Guinness good for you - official
The long-running ad campaign is well-known
The old advertising slogan "Guinness is Good for You" may be true after all, according to researchers.
A pint of the black stuff a day may work as well as an aspirin to prevent heart clots that raise the risk of heart attacks.
Drinking lager does not yield the same benefits, experts from Wisconsin University told a conference in the US.
Guinness were told to stop using the slogan decades ago - and the firm still makes no health claims for the drink.
The Wisconsin team tested the health-giving properties of stout against lager by giving it to dogs who had narrowed arteries similar to those in heart disease.
They found that those given the Guinness had reduced clotting activity in their blood, but not those given lager.
Heart trigger
Clotting is important for patients who are at risk of a heart attack because they have hardened arteries.
A heart attack is triggered when a clot lodges in one of these arteries supplying the heart.
Many patients are prescribed low-dose aspirin as this cuts the ability of the blood to form these dangerous clots.
The researchers told a meeting of the American Heart Association in Orlando, Florida, that the most benefit they saw was from 24 fluid ounces of Guinness - just over a pint - taken at mealtimes.
We already know that most of the clotting effects are due to the alcohol itself, rather than any other ingredients
Spokesman, Brewing Research International
They believe that "antioxidant compounds" in the Guinness, similar to those found in certain fruits and vegetables, are responsible for the health benefits because they slow down the deposit of harmful cholesterol on the artery walls.
However, Diageo, the company that now manufactures Guinness, said: "We never make any medical claims for our drinks."
The company now runs advertisements that call for "responsible drinking".
A spokesman for Brewing Research International, which conducts research for the industry, said she would be "wary" of placing the health benefits of any alcohol brand above another.
She said: "We already know that most of the clotting effects are due to the alcohol itself, rather than any other ingredients.
"It is possible that there is an extra effect due to the antioxidants in Guinness - but I would like to see this research repeated."
She said that reviving the old adverts for Guinness might be problematic - at least in the EU.
Draft legislation could outlaw any health claims in adverts for alcohol in Europe, she said.
Feelgood factor
The original campaign in the 1920s stemmed from market research - when people told the company that they felt good after their pint, the slogan was born.
In England, post-operative patients used to be given Guinness, as were blood donors, because of its high iron content. This practice continues in Ireland. Pregnant women and nursing mothers were at one stage advised to drink Guinness - the present advice is against this. The UK is still the largest market in the world for Guinness, although the drink does not feature in the UK's top ten beer brands according to the latest research.

Coke is also good for you - offical
cocaine is medicine
coca leaves
Before the West trampled all over South America, the coca bush was highly revered as a "divine plant".
The Incas used its leaves as currency. The Peruvians chewed them as fuel for high altitude treks and measured their journeys in "cicadas" - the time between doses of coca. In the 16th century the Spanish stormed in and tried to eradicate its unholy use. But they found their native slaves wouldn't work without it.
It took until the mid 19th century for the industrialised West to get a taste for Peru's 4,000-year-old secret. German paediatrician Albert Niemann extracted cocaine hydrochloride from coca leaves in 1860.
The public got its first whiff of cocaine when it was used successfully to anaesthetise the surface of the human eye in 1884. In the days before painkillers, this was very big news.
super product
For the ham-fisted pharmaceutical industry of the time, cocaine became a super product. Here was an ancient substance that could change the world, a 'miracle cure' prescribed for (no shit): drug addiction, alcoholism, depression and fatigue.
Endless cocaine syrups, pastilles, wines, tonics, and elixirs appeared, alongside toothache drops, haemorrhoid creams, balms, ointments and cordials. These products usually contained huge amounts of cocaine. Rayno's Hay Fever remedy, for example, was basically a pure cocaine solution. The bottle recommended that you take it "two to ten times a day."
By 1900, cocaine was in the top five pharmaceutical products in the US and was selling for around $2.50 per gram.
This was the real thing.
Synthetic versions of cocaine without the psychoactive effects are used extensively as local anesthetics in medicine, mainly by dentists (Novocain) and for numbing the lower body (epidurals) in childbirth.
