If you’re over a certain age, chances are you’ll remember all too well the huge societal stigma around cannabis that lingered until around two decades ago.
I mean, there are still plenty of places in the world that consider the drug a serious problem (and they often have punishments that reflect their stance) but there has been a shift regarding how the general population sees cannabis.
Nowhere is this more evident than in the US, where the drug is currently legal in 24 states for recreational use. What’s more, it’s likely that far fewer people consider it the “devil’s drug” these days, even if they’re not prone to partaking themselves.
Put simply, it’s not all that difficult to envisage a world wherein cannabis is no longer so taboo in a few decades’ time.
And yet it’s definitely not without its pitfalls and potential dangers. Anyone who’s ever heard of “scromiting” can tell you that.
