There have been studies linking just about any outcome to any behaviour, anyone with enough money has ever wanted.

I agree with you science nowadays is mostly junk. On the other hand if we can choose to ignore any study that links X to something bad, then this is a conversation not worth having. Myself I like to err on the side of caution, since my country has free healthcare which means I have to pay for the mistakes of others, so I don't want them making mistakes in the first place. They should feel free to smoke all the weed they want and become psychotic drones in the fucking Congo

  Your healthcare system also treats people who have got into a vehicle accident or a sporting incident - should buses and cycling also be banned? How about alcohol? Everything has some risk, and the anecdotal evidence is that weed does not affect the vast majority of adults in a way that would result in additional healthcare needs.

    >should buses No. They are generally safe and people NEED to get around to live. They don't NEED to get high though. >cycling also be banned? How about alcohol? Yes, definitely. Both things are risky and bad. But that would be hard to achieve. Since weed has never been legal (at least here), things can go on the way they are.

      And to think that I bought my child a bicycle for his birthday. I should be arrested for attempted murder.... /s

        You should know that bikes are a gateway to harder stuff.

  Dumb attitudes like yours are why we are having such a difficult time moving to a working healthcare system in the US. Because it's paid for by taxes you want to use it as a vehicle to control other people. Screw off. People can have healthcare and freedom too. You've benefited far more from the government than you've ever paid in taxes.

That sounds true but is really not - it's just a way to throw out everything because you don't have a counter.
