Yes, but selling drugs is not cool, even when there are legal institutions that are allowed to do it. You can also get amphetamines and opioids as real medication.
as i said before, i dont know much about weed, but for nicotine and alcohol, it is part of my business
i care about the wellbeing of others and have seen how much harm they have caused to relatives and people i have met
there is also smoke being dangerous even if you arent the one smoking, me hating the smell, alcohol increasing the risk for car accidents along with other negative effects on other people
if people want to consume them, they should do it responsibly, not because they were convinced by someone whose job is to get as many people to buy the addictive product as possible or by peer pressure
I’m on your side, personally. It’s not always possible for a person to be fully informed of the effects of habit-forming drugs before taking them. Society should do something to protect the population, even if it in to prevent self-harm.
Crazy how pro-drug use people here are. As if many people aren’t dumb and not just take whatever drug they see. As if they make informed decisions and make sure they also don’t harm others. Many people suck and we need to deal with that in a reasonable way, even if it means that we to limit what everyone is allowed to do. Maybe sometime like a divers licence for certain drugs? With checks to make sure they are not destroying their live with it after losing control.
Back as late as ‘15, cannabis was illegal in large portions of the US, if not all of it. People, predominantly Black people, would be given heavy multi-decade sentences for distribution of illegal drugs. Since then, cannabis has become legalized in certain states, and yet those people are not free.
When the weed shop looks like an Apple Store, but the people previously vending weed are in prison still, that’s a problem.
Someone selling drugs has a lot of responsibility. I am sure some of them were really cool and did some work to prevent harm. But sellers usually care a lot about money. Someone getting decades surely did not just sell a little bit?
It’s still wild seeing billboards for weed, even though there’s people still in jail for selling it. :/
Selling it? How is that wild?
Because billboards are giant adverts offering to sell it

So long as it’s being used in a responsible fashion and not being given to minors: why do you give even a single fuck?
Once again, I’d like to congratulate drugs for winning the war on drugs.
For your information, I’d like to mention that I actually joined the war on drugs. On the side of drugs of course
Hell yeah. A fellow vet.
is it being used in a responsible fashion?
i dont live in a country where weed is legal, but i can say that others like nicotine and alcohol are definitely not used responsibly
Some people are, some people aren’t. The important thing is that it’s none of your business.

So you’re logically consistent, and in favor of banning the most dangerous drug - alcohol. Right?
Honestly, kinda. Alcohol kills too many people, both self-harm and other people when operating vehicles.

Federal vs state? Really shit that our country has like 85% non-violent prisoners, almost all are drug users.
Also many cannabis capitalists are…the cops and judges who recently put black homegrowers behind bars.
