people have differing levels of susceptibility and what is tolerable for them may be too much for someone else.

Peanuts are harmful to some people - should they be banned for everybody?

False comparison. (as usual with you pot nutters.) Peanuts are a useful food source for many people (It has actual real-world positive benefits as a food stuff, unlike pot) while those allergic are in the extreme minority.

Pick something that is utterly F***ing useless to consume, and which ruins about 15+ percent of the population that tries it, and then you might have an apt comparison.

Apart from that Subway stopped selling Peanut butter cookies for precisely the reason that it causes severe allergic reactions in some people. As a company which wants to avoid liability, I grasp their reasons for doing so.

Peanuts are not psychoactive. Meaning they don’t change behavior.

I believe the hysterically defensive reaction against any criticism of marijuana is the result of the effect I mentioned earlier. They worship the stuff, like they think it’s an actual deity.
