The despoiling of our parks is a direct result of the criminalization of marijuana. If eating meat is banned, how many poachers will that create? Millions? Will they seize your home & jail you for the illicit chickens you are secretly raising in your backyard to feed your family? You betcha.
Marijuana is a weed. It is as easy to grow as a tomato on your deck or patio. Most users would grow their own or buy it retail if it was legal, putting the illicit growers out of business & out of our parks. Growers of quality pot prefer to grow indoors because of the threat of polllination resulting in seed. Seedy pot is poor quality, a ruined crop, nearly worthless these days.
But the DEA & local police want it to remain illegal - job security & lucrative property seizures, though it is far less harmful than alcohol.
Do you believe the government has the right to tell you what you may & may not consume? I don’t.

Well, ‘they’ sure as hell think ‘they’ are the ‘experts’ on what you may and may not consume. Survey says———NAAAHHHHH!
Nor do I, with one caveat. When you've smoked yourself into unemployable oblivion, I do not want my tax dollars supporting you because the progressives call your habit a disease, like they did with alcohol.
I agree with your post, except I posit that pot is actually easier to grow than tomatoes.
It is the prize-winning, enormous pot that requires a high level of effort and nutrients, and which resuts in a spoilation of the environment.
