Yeah let’s totally continue the war on drugs, that way we can continue having cops like this plant drugs in cars he pulls over, have those people go to jail for YEARS all because he wanted a promotion and realized busting people for drugs was a quick way to do that

By the way, why don’t someone post the deaths caused directly by alcohol and deaths caused directly by marijuana side by side

I’m not sure what the answer is. War on drugs did a lot of bad things, and I don’t think kids should be put in jail for using it. But that doesn’t make weed safe, and it definitely shouldn’t be glorified or normalized.

https://alcohol.org/statistics-information/

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a clinical diagnosis of alcoholism, or alcohol addiction.1 The 2019 NSDUH estimated that 14.5 million people ages 12 and older had an AUD. According to the same data, an estimated 414,000 adolescents ages 12 to 17 had an AUD. More than 95,000 people die every year due to alcohol-related causes.

We should pass a Constitutional amendment to ban alcohol.

Oh wait…

Forget about how good or bad is pot for society for the time being.

Where in the Constitution is the federal government empowered to ban the sale of marijuana?

As a follow up to that answer, if such a power is granted, then why did it require an Amendment to ban booze?
