Yes, i see.

So, the general idea is that you drink wine for the taste.
Some drink vintage Whiskey(the water of life) for the taste.

But when you smoke, you are not doing it for the taste and, furthermore, if you have high quality smoke, you may be more uncoordinated.

However, your argument corresponds with mine in a point. Unregulated Pot is a roulette wheel. You never know what you are getting. Does it make more sense to have the FDA involved so you know what you are getting?

“Does it make more sense to have the FDA involved so you know what you are getting? “

I think maybe, in the narrow sense that you could be more sure of how much THC is in your pot. Not perfectly sure, but reasonably sure, just like with alcohol content in your drink.

However, I oppose that because it would mean marijuana was legal, and I sincerely believe that the legality of something makes a big difference to many.

There are many behaviors that, if legalized, would be far more commonplace.

For example, abortion, which has been practiced since the beginning of recorded history. After it was legalized in the US and Europe, its occurrence skyrocketed.

Many, many women obviously did not have abortions simply because they were illegal. The plain truth is that legal sanctions and the stigma of being a criminal play heavily on the majority of us.

Similarly, I believe many many people don’t use or try pot simply because it is illegal.

I am personally happy about that. I have seen pot ruin very promising and bright young men. Not women, interestingly enough. I have seen other drugs ruin women, though.
