No, comrade, it has only begun.

It's jus an old concept, similar to prohibition of alcohol. The argument is that legalizing it will effect the youth more, but it's a no brainer to be the opposite. I don't even smoke weed but I welcome the change
>>58186864
Cartels would just move on to other stuff like meth or cocaine.

Weed isn't like nicotine or tobacco though, I don't think legalizing it would be a good idea.

I'm not going to get into the health aspects, I'm not some stoner that says it has no adverse effects, but it's clearly less damaging than cigarettes. Why don't you think it should be legalized?

>it's clearly less damaging than cigarettes
Physically yes, if it's not smoked, it's actually more harmful than tobacco if smoked. There's also the mental aspect; it makes people forgetful and paranoid and I don't think combining that with the paranoia we already get from the news and social media is a good idea.
>>58187923
Definitely, and I acknowledge the mental addiction concept as well. Still, it may as well be regulated in my opinion and maybe some good will come of it in research
