As someone who’s drank alcohol and smoked cannabis, yeah alcohol is absolutely more dangerous/obstructive to normal function but no one bats an eye if you go home after work and have a couple beers.
Hell when I was in the military it was practically expected that you were going to show up to work hungover since there wasn’t fuck all to do.
Smoke a joint on leave? Kicked out, you’re the worst soldier/sailor/marine/airman that’s ever existed.
It’s an absolute joke that alcohol is considered safe enough to be legal but cannabis isn’t. Of the two, alcohol should be the illegal one.
Yup. Didn’t touch anything until after I ETS’d. Except tobacco and booze, which were basically… subsidized? Yeah, heavily subsidized by the exchange stores in the 90s. A carton of marlboros was $10 lol. I literally remember people bitching and moaning when it went up a dollar shortly before I left the army. Surreal.
Yeah, those damned marijuana cigarette smokers are all whippersnappers, just bad eggs all around! I would never condone ANY devils lettuce, just say “Fiddlesticks to you!”
It’s just bewildering to prohibit a plant that is easy to grow, serves a lot of uses, and doesn’t easily get you killed.
I’m also in Europe, and still trying to cope with the fact that I got into trouble with the law for tending a garden. Well I guess at least it re-radicalized me for all it’s worth.
Honestly, I kind of think my country (France) forbids weed today because of all the bullshit of the Reagan era and it’s pretty infuriating.
Their depiction of weed as some super dangerous class 3000 hardcore drug ended up as some kind of standard for most of the developed countries.
It sucks.
It’s just indication to the fact, that the biggest part of our assumed development, our democracy, or our rule of reason is but a delusion.
Especially when it has medicinal applications.
Just like morphine. That doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous
If you think morphine is comparably dangerous to cannabis then you’re nuts.
I never said it was, just that it being used as a medicine doesn’t make it “safe”
I’m not one of these people that thinks it cures cancer or anything. But comparing it to morphine just muddys the waters.
It is absolutely safe enough to be recreationally legal. Morphine is not.
Yeah we know you’re a weed addict, but according to whom is it "safe enough to be recreationally legal?

Why does it even matter if it’s safe? Why shouldn’t you be able to make the decision for yourself?
Because I’m gonna have to pay for your mistakes
Wow, you really did just type “weed addict” without a trace of irony, didn’t you?
Yeah, those damned marijuana cigarette smokers are all whippersnappers, just bad eggs all around! I would never condone ANY devils lettuce, just say “Fiddlesticks to you!”
Oh man. Bless it’s heart.
The governments of Canada, Uruguay, United States, Spain, Jamaica, France, Greece, India…
23 countries have recreational cannabis laws.
Sit down, shut up, and fucking keep up to date.
And the term “weed addict” is some fucking refer madness bs.
I’m from Spain, weed consumption is illegal here. Maybe you’re the one that needs to keep up

See what you did there?
Being medicinal doesn’t make it not dangerous, but thankfully, reality does.
As safe as trash food, porn and a sedentary and isolated life?
Smoking weed will make you… DUTCH!

considering how much French society despises US policy, I’m kind of amazed that France is still prohibitionist - that really does suck mate.
Or maybe because it’s a drug (alcohol and tobacco are too ingrained in society to be outlawed, and despite that tobacco consumption is decreasing)
