Why? Seems stupid. Just let people weed.

  Pretending to be a moral person to harass others is way more important than being a moral person. Jesus in the gospel has no kind words for such people but many "christian" societies haven't yet decided to follow that part.

People who dont pretend it has zero negative consequences as well. I understand the medicinal uses, most people arent even doing that, but we are overlooking so many things. I think someone should fund serious studies that look at all the benefits and negatives, sadly we dont live in a perfect world.

  We are overlooking even more things about perfectly legal alcohol.

    I can count on one hand the number of times I drink alcohol every few years, and I agree. Let's fund detailed studies on the effects (good and bad) for everything. Whataboutism shouldn't be a reason to just let something that could have long-term negative consequences on the mind be blindly advertised as safe. My argument isn't about legality, moreso educating the public about consequences, we do this with cigarettes, and I assume eventually we have to extend vaping to have similar messaging as well. Legal marijuana in the states is insanely tweaked and modified in terms of THC in order to comply legally, even people I know who have smoked their whole lives feel uncomfortable touching the stuff because its just not even organic anymore. I think we're overlooking too many things.

      Its not a whataboutism, its the current line in the sand for comparison. If Alcohol does x and is legal with restrictions, then its only sensible for comparable products that do x to become legal with restrictions.

  There have been plenty of studies. People overdose on legal stimulants and drugs all the time (caffeine, alcohol, OTC drugs...). Nothing points to THC being at all worse than many other legal stimulants.

    I once OD'd on caffeine and the hospital staff didnt believe me. They just filled me with saline and kept asking if it was meth until I stopped convulsing.
