No, we don't have to be "fair" to weed. Alcohol has been with Humanity since before recorded history, and we just have to live with the fact that it kills 85,000 people per year, and destroys the lives of many others.

But no, we don't have to tolerate another one just as bad or worse than alcohol.

Hate to break this to you, but weed is more ancient than even alcohol. And the Founders of this country both grew it and smoked it. And your false danger comparison is amusing, because weed not only doesn't kill 85,000 people per year, it doesn't kill any at all. And of its dangers, the only known one is to children, but many things are dangerous to children and not adults. And no one is saying children should smoke it.

No, the founders of our nation were not pot and hashish smokers.

Really? Well i've been misinformed then.

And the Founders of this country both grew it and smoked it.

Oh, I have no doubt they grew it, but back then it was used for this sensible thing called *ROPE*. But as for smoking it? You got any proof that they smoked it? I know Libertarians always say that they did, but I have yet to see any proof that they did. Perhaps you can provide some?

And your false danger comparison is amusing, because weed not only doesn't kill 85,000 people per year, it doesn't kill any at all.

It doesn't have 150 million users in this country either, And yes, it does kill.

And no one is saying children should smoke it.

Oh really? Is it because it's harmful or something?

I Just spent the last 4 days ingesting massive amounts of kief. It is the precursor material to hash.

I both smoked and vaporized it.

Guess what? I did not have a psychotoic break. I did not go crazy.

Instead, I did laundry and a lot of yard work. I also played with my kittens, and took the dogs out to a field to run around.

Oh, and I made a really good pot of Creamy Black Bean Soup.
