Have you ever realized how incredibly ass-backwards it is that cigarettes and alcohol are perfectly legal, but marijuana isn't? That seems pretty messed up to me.
Now, I'm not advocating for the legalization of marijuana. Weed is (in most cases, it has been known to be a powerful brain stimulant in extremely rare cases) bad for you, no questions asked. However, cigarettes? Cigarettes are awful for you. Smoking cigarettes is like standing in a burning house filled with rat poison, cleaning solvents, and cat urine. And what about alcohol? Yeah, weed can mess you up, and getting into a car while stoned is a terrible idea, but it is at least as bad as alcohol, and alcohol can be much worse, especially when you get into hard liquor. And they serve it in restaurants! Maybe they should start serving weed in restaurants.
So once again, this is going to boil down into the "how about they just let us do whatever the hell we want?" argument. If they're going to let us stick a controlled chemical fire into our mouths, why stop there? It's just another stupid thing we can do. Hell, if we're going completely downhill, let's bring back over-the-counter cocaine. Wouldn't THAT be terrifying.
Feel free to point out that when they tried Prohibition before, it didn't work. I know that. I'm just pointing out a conflict of interest. Get out of my house.
