Growers of marijuana found ways to make it very powerful, but something
else is going on.  Today's users, at least in suburban Massachusetts,
are permanently paranoid and delusional.  Maybe, if not certainly, they
suffer underlying mental eealth issues.

And when did potheads go right=wing?  Not just right, but radical,
Trumpian Alt-Right?  Such stances would have been unthinkable among me
and my fellow smokers of a few decades earlier.

I quit smoking marijuana because the high was no longer pleasurable. 
Instead, it made me anxious.

Looking at the screw-ups mumbling Trumpspeak to themselves as they
shuffle, glazed-eyed to the nearest dispensary, I'm glad I quit while I
was ahead.  At the same time, I know that *no* amount of any drug would
have turned me into a Putin-worshipping misogynist.
