Anything done to excess is bad.
If they sat in their mom's basement drinking grape juice, I wouldn't say the grape juice ruined their lives.
Or if instead of getting high, they sat down there playing minecraft, I wouldn't say minecraft ruined their lives.

Yes, but grape juice isn’t a drug that physically gets you high, so that’s quite a false equivalency to compare juice to a literal drug. Grape juice also doesn’t have scientific evidence of it interacting negatively with lots of mental illnesses.
What I’m saying is that the whole stoner culture of acting like weed is some cure-all and is 100% helpful and better for everyone to be doing; is just plain dangerous. It’s a drug, and like any drug it has negatives and DOES ruin lives. Maybe not as much as other drugs, but we need to stop pretending it’s a perfect substance.
