There are major health issues with marijuana that simply do not apply to alcohol. It does not take heavy use to cause brain damage.
In a way, the drug of choice is irrelevant. The problems of brain damage, loss of ability to be productive, criminal behavior, etc., are symptoms of addiction that are common to all schedule I drugs. And with the current push to legalize schedule I drugs, along with millions of illegal invaders not just invading, but getting welfare, I think that we are about to see the success of the Cloward Piven strategy. Our society can only absorb a limited number of takers before it collapses.
I really wish that drug addicts would not be given any financial support.
“The problems of brain damage, loss of ability to be productive, criminal behavior, etc., are symptoms of addiction that are common to all schedule I drugs.”
You left out alcohol. Especially liquor.
Alcohol causes far more brain damage than marijuana. And it’s permanent, physical damage.
As for addiction, I watched an uncle in DTs for about 4 hours. It was damn spooky.
We got him to the hospital, but he almost didn’t make it.
Alcohol, and it’s withdraw, kills regularly and often.
And vice versa.
Legalize all of them, but no money for treatment or rehabilitation.
Only federal requirement should be “can only be sold in PURE FORM”.
States shall be responsible for picking up the overdose corpses and disposing of the garbage.
