I'm not even pro cannabis - I recently decided to go completely cold turkey since I realised I was essentially self medicating for other deeper issues and cannabis just gives me brain fog - but I think your comment is pretty nonsensical.
If your brother in law transitioned from marijuana all the way to heroine, chances are his drug abuse was a symptom of deeper underlying problems, not the cause. The solution is education, not criminalisation.
- throwawaymedia 5y agoYou can't legalize marijuana while education is subpar. It has to be done the opposite way. Also, why to legalize something that is harmful to your body and brain [1]? I mean, there are SO many publications about it. [1] https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/2782160 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abst...
- vimacs2 5y agoEasy to justify that one: the amount of deaths prevented from gang crime attributable to cannabis trade would far outstrip any potential harm caused by legalisation. Besides, that's not a good way to look at it. The better question is why criminalise an activity that does no harm to others?
