    correlation doesn’t equal causation. weed is very popular and used hundreds of millions of times every day, of course it will be co-existing with all the realities of the world. It doesn’t mean that it causes them.

      It causes slower reaction times. People still attempt to drive/ride a bike even with alcohol so they will likely do so with marijuana. There is substantial evidence tying its usage to violence and mental illness. That is reason enough to oppose it

          Or…they could just not sell things that kill people. Sorry, I didn’t realize that every AES state is “pro child-enslavement”.

            By your logic you would also be stripping people of a bunch of culturally significant substances used in ceremonies etc. Just take the L here you’re extremely wrong and this is just entirely a bad faith argument at this point.

              First off, exceptions could be made for it in such cases and secondly, protecting people’s lives are more important

                There are also mountains of evidence that cannabis has medicinal uses. Guess what also impairs you: Pain killers and any other number of medicines. You just are being reductive and contrarian and crusading against cannabis like a boomer on 4/20 of all days. I was half convinced this was a bit but I think you are actually this stupid.

                  This post isn’t talking about medicinal uses. We should aim for medicinal drugs to be acquired through doctors with prescriptions, not bought from a gang at a street corner like marijuana. But no, I guess personal attacks are more fun than thinking

                    So it should be decriminalized. Glad you finally get it.

                    Also BTW “Marijuana” was popularized in the west to make it sound like a brown person thing.

                    You need serious reeducaation.
