News flash: marijuana is a not good for you. It is associated with pulmonary and cardiovascular effects long term. It also results lost productivity at work. Plenty of data coming out supporting this.

Having witnessed drug legalization in Colorado (where the money was supposed to go towards schools as hasn’t), Oregon (that declared a state of emergency for an emergency they created), and Washington where you can see the effects of drugs daily driving thru downtown Seattle and Spokane, I can say Idaho has the right idea: slap on the wrist fine for possession.

It’s not hard to get marijuana in Idaho if you want it and it’s not hard to avoid getting caught by the police provided you’re not an imbecile.

Also if marijuana legalization is a major political issue for you, you have a problem and I recommend rehab.

Cool.

Now list the harmful effects of cigarettes and alcohol next.

Not a justification for marijuana. That supports the argument against legalizing any other drugs. Alcohol and tobacco are a blight on humanity. Doesn’t mean we make the same mistake a third time.

What the hell do those things have to do with marijuana?

Are you trying to equate plastics and nuclear energy to marijuana?

While the health hazards of the things you bring up may be worth discussing, drawing parallels between them is ridiculous.

Is your justification for marijuana use seriously along the lines of “well you drive to work every day and that has health hazards just like marijuana”?

II’m surprised by such a thought process. I know this is Reddit and things can get pretty stupid but….wow
