Anytime a government legalize a drug or even alcohol, you know they are trying to sedate the society from questioning and maybe eventually revolting.

> a drug or even alcohol Those are not two separate things.

  Technically, yes, but socially, not really, a lot will find it ok to drink alcohol on weekly basis but frown upon the fact someone did a drug, soft or hard.

    Cannabis is far less harmful than alcohol; it's not close. It's not a technicality, it's reality. Most of my social circles feel the same way. I have pity for those who swallowed that propaganda, but they can shove their frowns. That attitude is enabling real harm and needless suffering, like the alcohol they need to function. In short, I wonder why anyone cares about their opinion. It's not based in reality.

      I don't get drunk because someone next to me is drinking.

        No one gets high from second hand smoke outside.

        That's bs.

        That's no way to discuss the issue, especially when the science (and common sense) isn't remotely on your side. > Secondhand exposure to cannabis smoke under "extreme conditions," such as an unventilated room or enclosed vehicle, can cause nonsmokers to feel the effects of the drug, have minor problems with memory and coordination, and in some cases test positive for the drug in a urinalysis. - https://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-05-extreme-exposure-secondhand-cannabis-mild.html https://medicalxpress.com/news/2015-05-extreme-exposure-seco... That's indoors, unventilated, "can cause" and "in some cases". I'm curious where you even picked up this bizarre notion.

  As many of us learned from DARE, along with what the various names for drugs were and where one might find them.

We aren't revolting because of incredibly effective control of information, controlled opposition, race war instead of class war, and having no guaranteed employment (unions) or healthcare, so people can't protest if they wanted to. And student loans lock the educated class into work instead of activism or politics because they need a real job for ten years. Go ahead, get acclimated and nihilistic in financial bondage! Legal weed is simply decent and humane.

  Agreed!

This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. You want the government to decide what you can and cannot put into your body?
