Honestly, I kind of think my country (France) forbids weed today because of all the bullshit of the Reagan era and it's pretty infuriating.
Their depiction of weed as some super dangerous class 3000 hardcore drug ended up as some kind of standard for most of the developed countries.
It sucks.
-
It’s just indication to the fact, that the biggest part of our assumed development, our democracy, or our rule of reason is but a delusion.
-
considering how much French society despises US policy, I'm kind of amazed that France is still prohibitionist - that really does suck mate.
-
It's just bewildering to prohibit a plant that is easy to grow, serves a lot of uses, and doesn't easily get you killed.
I'm also in Europe, and still trying to cope with the fact that I got into trouble with the law for tending a garden. Well I guess at least it re-radicalized me for all it's worth.

I need me a jazz cigarette, I'm having the shakes, Daddy-O!
-
I need some of that devil lettuce to get in the groove.
-
mmmMMmmmm MMM! I do love me some lazer lettuce, that jazz cabbage doobee do it every time

-
all the good guys are smoking cigarettes bemoaning the dangers of the devils weed.
-

-
-

That man really needs to sniff some weeds.
-
Me after 2 hours in the office
-
Many of us, I think. Work sucks.

You want him to talk coherently after having "a marijuana?" Yeah, good luck with that!
-
He needs running through with a flaming duffel coat.
-
Tbf, my brother absolutely freaks the fuck out if he goes too long without a joint. He acts more explosively angry than itching invisible bugs, but the feeling behind it is the same.
-
Does he smoke with tobacco? Smoking with tobacco does that to me
-
No, he's just got a host of issues. For some people, weed just exasperates that, and he's one of them.
-
-
Makes sense. THC withdrawals been linked to aggression.
-
He has other issues then that he needs to deal with.
-
You think the guy above doesnt?? Lol.

That looks and feels like a colorized panel from a Chick Tract but I can't seem to find the source. Anyone know where it came from originally?

Oh, I need to get my hands on a copy of that! There's a spot on my office wall that is always off camera, perfect place for a blown up print. :)

PAWS is no joke, though.
And after being through enough stop cycles with it I can tell you that there are physiological addiction issues with strong cannabis.
Loss of appetite, insomnia, pressured speech, sweating, night sweats, and irritability for up to seven to ten days is super common for people stopping regular usage and abusive usage.
-
Those are also typical symptoms of people forcing a change in habits. An acute change if you will.
Imagine someone who works remotely - when they're informed they now have to do a 2 hour car commute everyday for no reason other than to see the boss even if it means less productivity.
Those symptoms seem like a fairly normal response.
-
That Wikipedia article has zero mentions of cannabis.
-
The article you linked mentions it isn't a recognized syndrome.
-
PAWS is no joke, though.
While post-acute withdrawal syndrome has been reported by those in the recovery community, there have been few scientific studies supporting its existence outside of protracted benzodiazepine withdrawal.[8] [9] Because of this, the disorder is not recognized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders[10] or major medical associations.
Maybe not a joke, but it doesn't sound like it's taken very seriously
