  I’m not one of these people that thinks it cures cancer or anything. But comparing it to morphine just muddys the waters.

  It is absolutely safe enough to be recreationally legal. Morphine is not.

    Yeah we know you’re a weed addict, but according to whom is it "safe enough to be recreationally legal?

      As someone who’s drank alcohol and smoked cannabis, yeah alcohol is absolutely more dangerous/obstructive to normal function but no one bats an eye if you go home after work and have a couple beers.

      Hell when I was in the military it was practically expected that you were going to show up to work hungover since there wasn’t fuck all to do.

      Smoke a joint on leave? Kicked out, you’re the worst soldier/sailor/marine/airman that’s ever existed.

      It’s an absolute joke that alcohol is considered safe enough to be legal but cannabis isn’t. Of the two, alcohol should be the illegal one.

        Yup. Didn’t touch anything until after I ETS’d. Except tobacco and booze, which were basically… subsidized? Yeah, heavily subsidized by the exchange stores in the 90s. A carton of marlboros was $10 lol. I literally remember people bitching and moaning when it went up a dollar shortly before I left the army. Surreal.

      Why does it even matter if it’s safe? Why shouldn’t you be able to make the decision for yourself?

        I support marijuana legalization, but this argument doesn’t work. The reality is that we all pay a price when people do certain things. It would be naive in the extreme to argue, for example, that opioids haven’t had a very negative impact on society as a whole. Or think about smoking cigarettes. How much does society pay for all the health problems it causes? Drinking? How much do we all pay for the chaos alcohol can cause, the domestic issues it creates, the broken families, the people killed by drunk drivers? This ain’t the wild west, you can’t just live and let live anymore in a world of 8 billion people.

      The governments of Canada, Uruguay, United States, Spain, Jamaica, France, Greece, India…

      23 countries have recreational cannabis laws.

      Sit down, shut up, and fucking keep up to date.

      And the term “weed addict” is some fucking refer madness bs.

    Reading comprehension is fucked.

    Yeah, it had medical applications “just like” morphine. It isn’t “just like” morphine. Fucking hell.
