Can you establish that marijuana is more dangerous than alcohol? If so, I'd be very interested to see your sources and metrics. If not, I'd be very interested to see a justification for why marijuana should remain illegal.
- massysett 11y agoNo, I cannot. But so what? Are you saying it is harmless? I don't care if it is merely less dangerous than alcohol.
- CocaKoala 11y agoI did not, and am not, saying that it's harmless. That would be ridiculous. But if it's less harmful than alcohol, a substance which is legal for consumption and moderated by the government, why should it be illegal? What's your justification for saying marijuana should be banned for reasons of harm, when you can't establish that it's more harmful than more easily available alternatives? Or are you also arguing that alcohol should be banned, as well? Edit: To answer your initial question, the logic here is "One harmful substance is legal, thus other substances which are less harmful should probably also be legal".
