"This is legal so this should be" is actually one of the major differences between common law systems and civil law systems. Since most societies have accepted alcohol, which has a demonstrably more negative impact on society, arguments against legal marijuana come off as arbitrary (at best). |
Yep, and don’t forget cigarettes, which kill 440k people per year in the US alone (they fucking kill people who don’t even smoke) while marijuana is still going strong at 0 yet I can legally buy those in all 50 states. By not similarly legalizing marijuana nationwide, they’re basically saying with a straight face marijuana is worse when it’s objectively not.
It should be worth noting that I know some relatives of friends who have COPD from smoking cigarettes (my best friend’s mom has an oxygen level of 85% and is on borrowed time from them), none from pot, so I can tell you from first hand experience which one is worse.
