” I just don’t think it makes any sense to add additional methods of getting ‘high’ to the legal list.”
We want a legal system we can respect, which means it must strive for justice and logical consistency. It must pass the reasonable man test.
In the eyes of many, perhaps most, marijuana prohibition does not meet the criterion of logical consistency.
Alcohol is stronger and far more dangerous. It can kill you quickly and suddenly, as happens to a couple of frat pledges every year (Well, maybe not *every* year, but certainly every now and then.). It is strongly addictive, much more so than pot, and that can be fatal over a period of years or decades.
There are counter-arguments. Good ones, maybe even convincing ones, but many remain convinced by the “alcohol is stronger” argument.
“Alcohol is stronger and far more dangerous”
Being ill informed does not make your argument correct. The modern marijuana is NOTHING like the weak stuff of the 60s. You apparently have not kept up with the latest research.
I don’t really give a rat’s behind what many think. That is not the basis for my principles. If it is for you more’s the shame
