This article and the underlying study seem to reinforce the idea that cannabinoids help the body to stay in balance.

 

Metabolic syndrome is a name for a group of risk factors that occur together and relate to cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

From the article

 

The researchers found that 19.5 percent of participants who had never smoked marijuana before met the criteria of having metabolic syndrome. Of those who were former smokers, 17.5 percent had enough of the symptoms of metabolic syndrome. It was those who currently smoked weed who were found to have the lowest percentage of metabolic syndrome, at just 13.8 percent.

You think a drunk wouldn't? Drunks are ten times worse than stoners, in so many ways

No a drunk you have the balls to do it right. A stoner would be too paranoid to get close enough to people to do any damage.

Exactly. Drunks drive 90 with zero regard for anyone's safery while stoners drive 30 afraid they might hurt someone. I'm glad you finally agree with me.

I heard there's been a rash of alcoholic Muslim suicide bombers recently. It's been all over the media for months. It's a real problem for ISIS, and one they'll have to come to grips with if they want to stay true to their religious beliefs.

And stoners end up not hurting anyone, the drunks...not so much

 

Drunks are a problem, stoners, not so much

I am no fan of boozers either, but booze did not take away this guy's drive and allow him to be easily duped into becoming a terrorist. Pot did.

Not until they start playing their Tom Petty and make everyone else's ears bleed.

I'm not sure if it's an improvement, but the millennial stoners these days are more into EDM from what I've witnessed. Though I guess there might be some EDM remixes of Petty's stuff... that might make your head explode though, if not the universe itself.

The informed opinion seems to be that alcohol and tobacco are much more dangerous and costly to the individual and to our society.

From the article

 

While Christie, and the Americans who agree with his attitude toward marijuana, are entitled to their opinions, the repeated yet incorrect mantra espousing the dangers of marijuana is really losing its potency — especially as the federal government itself has even come forward with evidence of actual health benefits from cannabis use. Though many would like to continue to drag the fears exhibited in Reefer Madness into the 21st century, we know that marijuana is generally harmless; in fact, it’s magnitudes safer than other similar substances that are perfectly legal and sold at your nearest 7-11, like tobacco and alcohol.

Those aren't stoners listening to the edm. Those are the Molly/Acid/other random trippy drugs crowd.
