Now, the growers have refined it to a poison. When Colorado was the first to legalize, google how many automotive accidents there were with drivers under the influence of a controlled substance. I was a recreational user 45 years ago but wouldn't dare touch it now, even for the glaucoma.

Marijuana is a rather complex plant, it contains many chemicals with THC being the “high”, possibly others in it too that give some sort of high. They have the strains now that go from a “Coors Cutter” to grain alcohol. There are some strains that have been refined to have the most THC and basically a poison as you noted, just like pure alcohol is a poison. They have also worked on many strains with only trace amounts of THC or possibly eliminated, but filled with the other chemicals that help with glaucoma or seizures and basically eliminate the THC. It is just like how they make seedless grapes or other plants from selective breeding and other techniques.

From what I have been told from friends that still use, the legal states and medical dispensaries are much more organized and have an idea what you are getting. If you want the glaucoma stuff and no buzz, it is available. You want glaucoma relief and a slight buzz, there is that. Just like the booze, some are fine with a few light beers or glasses of wine. Others feel like they need to be drinking as close to pure alcohol as possible and not satisfied unless falling over drunk. I do think many states put limits on how strong though, just like booze. Their upper limits on both booze and marijuana are arguably way too high for recreational use.
