Your supposition that harm is the basis of criminal law is
patently absurd. Alcohol causes many times the harm of
herb and yet it is legal. Comparing violent acts of one
against another to the possession of a gift from God is not
in any sense logical. You can repeat it as many times as
you like but it just exposes your ignorance.

This should be fascinating. PLEASE keep posting. No particular reason.

More people die from ingesting peanuts than rat poison, does that mean rat poison should be allowed in food or that peanuts should be banned? Do I really have to explain that one to you? OK, statistics count. 100% of people that eat rat poison get sick, about 3% have an alergy to nuts and about .4% have a bad reaction. A reasonable person could draw a usable conclusion from that.
