The Golden Age me would have died on this hill, but after seeing first-hand the damage legalizing it does to an area, I have to think you might be right.
If both weed and alcohol were discovered today, and you had enough political capital to get one banned but not the other, which would you opt for?
There wouldn't be the long tradition of whiskey making, not the loser hippies. Just the drug itself.
That's my standard. I'd much rather be on public transport with some giggly idiots who might order some maccas than some drunks. Far safer. And I think society would be better off as well.
Alcohol is objectively worse than marijuana, but you can't put either cat back in the bag. People are going to get drunk and get high no matter what you legislate, so the answer is ban neither. Or, more realistically, the politicians pick whichever course makes them the most money.
Just to give you an example, Arizona auctioned off the first dispensary permits. So the guys with the plan and the capital and the political clout to jump through local hoops got to open up and rake in literal cash like Pablo Escobar.
Let's say you live in a city that has three types of crime only. You have in a year; 30 murders, 100 assaults, and 420 weed related crime. You then legalize weed and in the next year you have; 35 murders, 140 assaults and 0 weed related crimes. The lying media, being the activists that they are say that crimes have dropped by two thirds, but in reality the types of crime that you actually care about the numbers for have gone up a quarter.
I'm saying if it does then it can easily be hidden by aggregating different types of crimes together, so if someone is all "lower crime rates" I want to see those numbers broken out by type of crime rather than total crime.
e: for example if you look at Denver, since Marijuana has been legalized for recreational use violent crime has increased while in the US on average it has decreased.
They've always been able to get weed. And drug addicts don't waste their money on weed. Maybe once in a blue moon but in general every penny they have goes towards their next fix.
No he's just an unfunny faggot who plays any card he can when his jokes flub.
Cards include:
ackshually I'm Jewish, not [a fellow] hwuite
WEED, HUEHUEHUE
Male ally, as was the case when he threw Harry Osborn James Franco under the bus after a #MeToo accusation
The NPC/modern Leftoid rhetoric that any non-leftoid is a: nazi/incel/npc buzzword of the newscycle.
Generally being an unfunny faggot
Some of those overlap but the main point is he's not funny. He's never been funny. He just has the right political npcspeak/leanings atm that he can attack people and not suffer any consequences.
Well, until his "male ally" card runs out [and by that I mean he either runs out of money or has enough someone sees him as a suitable whale to go hunting] and he gets an accusation leveled at him significant enough it causes problems, because at this point it would not surprise me to find out there already have been some that he either settled on or had Clinton'd away with 2 shots of Covid to the back of the head.
There is literally a tweet in that thread where Seth Rogen chews out Gina Carano for saying that 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust... "iT'S aCTuALLy 7 miLLiOn!!"
I get that comedy is highly subjective, but I have no idea how anyone can find Seth Rogan humorous. Dude is as one dimensional as they come with his shitty "Dude, weed" jokes.
Maybe weed is in fact bad.

Plenty of respectable people are (still) for legalization. We're talking about probably more than half of adults in the US, so take your pick.

What damage? Lower crime rates?
If you legalize murder, the amount of people arrested for murder drops to zero.
And how does that relate to smoking weed?
Let's say you live in a city that has three types of crime only. You have in a year; 30 murders, 100 assaults, and 420 weed related crime. You then legalize weed and in the next year you have; 35 murders, 140 assaults and 0 weed related crimes. The lying media, being the activists that they are say that crimes have dropped by two thirds, but in reality the types of crime that you actually care about the numbers for have gone up a quarter.
Are you saying that legalizing weed led to an increase in violent crime?
I'm not trying to put words in your mouth but that sounds like what you're saying.

Drug addicts everywhere.
Yeah all those strung out weed smokers going around buying fast food are a real problem lol
Hardcore drug addicts flock to these areas because they know, at the very least, they'll be able to get pot.
They've always been able to get weed. And drug addicts don't waste their money on weed. Maybe once in a blue moon but in general every penny they have goes towards their next fix.
I guess they don't drink or smoke cigarettes either.
Maybe traditional moral values were evolved and not arbitrary.

The Woke Left: "Muh Black People".
"Muh black trans women"
WHY WAS MY CHICKEN ALLERGY SET OFF BY EATING CHIK-FIL-A? SOMEONE CALL DR. HOUSE!
Tulsi should have encouraged him to drive to Hawaii.
You know you've gone off the deep end when fucking Snoop Dogg is attacking you for trying to defend weed
There is literally a tweet in that thread where Seth Rogen chews out Gina Carano for saying that 6 million Jews died in the Holocaust... "iT'S aCTuALLy 7 miLLiOn!!"
this guy is fucking unhinged. he should just chop off his dick and claim he's a woman already

Attacking someone because they're promoting democratic voting.
Rogers authoritarianism is showing.
Lefties are really against autonomy aren't they. If there's ANY chance people won't do what they demand, they'll just facist their way to it.
