It is legal in several states.
Some people just hate alcohol and prefer hemp. Unlike alcohol, hemp can be consumed in many different ways and grown by anyone.
Unlike alcohol, hemp is 100% nontoxic when consumed without smoke. There has never been any damage or death recorded from hemp. Even under impossible experimental conditions using purified compounds not found in nature. Basically, you couldn't hurt yourself with hemp if you tried.
With alcohol it is very possible to die from poisoning or withdrawal. Alcohol abuse causes 100% PROVEN IRREVERSIBLE brain and liver damage! Alcohol abuse is far more damaging than hemp abuse, yet it remains legal.
A big part of hemp prohibition is that the ease of production threatens the alcohol market (and taxes). If it was legal, some people would simply grow a plant in their yard and stop buying alcohol.
Every person is different and should have the freedom to choose.
Non-toxic? I guess if you skip the IQ and schizophrenic and so on effects. Saying the blatant non-lethal effects are meaningless when they are so severe and so universal to the users. Not to mention severe psychological addiction.
I doubt anyone’s died from a few drinks on its own. I’ve seen people messed up from both, but weed tends to turn people into mushy leftwing losers. That’s why online forums are so full of those types that just post about it 24/7.
Hopefully this trend will be reversed in short order. There’s a major liberal swing going on including the whole gay thing as well. At least with drugs there’s legit damage done and people usually get sick of it after awhile and will limit it again.
And the main reason is that people like the effect pot more than a glass of wine in general. The rest of your shit about people thinking a few drinks will kill them is just as stupid as it gets, sorry.
