You know, it can be strongly debated that alcohol is a much more dangerous and addictive drug.
I remember an “advertising” course I took in college thirty years ago, and the topic came up about working on ad campaigns for alcohol and tobacco companies, and the gravity of the moral quandary involved. The majority there seemed to agree it was something they would not be willing to do.
My opinion of people who take dope is incredibly low, but far worse, someone who actually works to sell and promote it (even if legal) would be someone I’d regard to be of supremely low, downright degenerate character. But it pretty much fits into the degraded depths America has sunk to. The whole country has “defined deviancy down” to the point of a putrid cultural abyss.
Demonizing alcohol and tobacco won't make the lives of potheads any better or safer from government control.
