  It’s just indication to the fact, that the biggest part of our assumed development, our democracy, or our rule of reason is but a delusion.

  Especially when it has medicinal applications.

    Just like morphine. That doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous

      If you think morphine is comparably dangerous to cannabis then you’re nuts.

        I never said it was, just that it being used as a medicine doesn’t make it “safe”

      Being medicinal doesn’t make it not dangerous, but thankfully, reality does.

        As safe as trash food, porn and a sedentary and isolated life?

  It’s just bewildering to prohibit a plant that is easy to grow, serves a lot of uses, and doesn’t easily get you killed.

  I’m also in Europe, and still trying to cope with the fact that I got into trouble with the law for tending a garden. Well I guess at least it re-radicalized me for all it’s worth.

    I had a similar experience with my poppy field ringed with gympie gympie.

    I’m all for legalisation, and I’m a regular user, but the fact that it’s a plant has always struck me as a weak argument. We can do better.

    It’s one tier better than “It’s natural!” (So are asbestos, arsenic, and anthrax.)

  considering how much French society despises US policy, I’m kind of amazed that France is still prohibitionist - that really does suck mate.

  Or maybe because it’s a drug (alcohol and tobacco are too ingrained in society to be outlawed, and despite that tobacco consumption is decreasing)

  • Asifall@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    I mean there are tons of drugs which are perfectly legal, so I don’t really see that as a sound reason to outlaw it.

    • Diprount_Tomato@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      “Tons of drugs” literally just tobacco and alcohol

        And caffeine And acetaminophen And ibuprofen And sildenafil And benzodiazepine And fluoxetine And sertraline And spironolactone And cetirizine …
