Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana?
Dasus@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Because alcoholics are often violent.
Weeders rarely are.
Banning recreational substances never works, just exacerbates the problems related with the substance.
With alcohol, those problems are way worse than cannabis, and thus it became unbearable for society to bear the effects of alcohol prohibition, while pot prohibition doesn’t really share the same problems.

What do you think the question is?

Should I just copy paste the title or can we skip over that and get to the part where you get mad because you’re ignorant of the history and motivations of prohibitions?

I’m not mad it just seems like you’re answering a different question lol. You seem mad tho, so bye I guess
Dasus@lemmy.world 3 months ago
But you clearly see the question, and know I do as well.
Thus you should conclude you’re wrong about thinking I’m answering a different question, which shouldn’t lead you to understand you may have misunderstood/missed/be ignorant of something.
But that’s just too much to ask on an online forum.

It took me several reads to figure it out, but I think I know what Dasus is trying to say now
Violent alcoholics means that they’ll fight to maintain access to their poison of choice, whereas the lethargy that comes with marijuana will have the opposite effect.

Yeah I got that too after a couple reads, I was just super turned off by how they responded to me. I definitely disagree with this analysis anyhow, I think it’s more about racism/cultural control.
