- renewiltord 5y agoProbably, but American paternalism means that for someone to take a hurts-self/adds-enjoyment tradeoff means that they have to convince everyone that the thing can't hurt anyone. Because you aren't allowed to hurt yourself through consumption of a substance, you have to perform bad science first to 'prove' that the substance is good for you. If we would allow people to hurt themselves, we could be truthful. But that much liberty is terrifying to many.
- Ensorceled 5y agoMost of us would actually happily admit that regular cannabis use is harmful ... so are a bunch of other things, like potato chips. Cannabis use is not even in the same order of magnitude as the harm alcohol does. Alcohol kills 10K people a year in the US just from drunk driving. I'm not sure why you are bringing this up?
