And the health benefits to the user?
You forgot to mention those.
Suppose I thread hijack for a moment and ask for the benefits of child porn. I bet you could list 10-15 good reasons to legalize that in just 60 seconds.
“And the health benefits to the user?”
No problem.
Pure product means no contaminants. Easier access through legal channels means more time to be productive instead of worrying about where the next high comes from.
Addicts would no longer have to deal with the violent criminal element to obtain the product. Just drop by Safeway, show ID, and head home.
Violent crime by drug gangs would drop. Far fewer 8 year old girls would catch bullets fired by gang members.
What’s your problem, you hate little girls or something?
