If the argument is that marijuana is bad for health and it should be illegal, then with the same logic, alcohol should be illegal because it’s also bad for health.

    Agree - plus tobacco.

    If marijuana is banned due to harm, then plenty of other substances should be banned. And vice versa.

    So downvoted because popular opinion? 😉

      I’m glad you agree, but yea I guess I shouldn’t expect this to be an unpopular opinion on Lemmy, the niche small unpopular website on the internet.

        I think most people, even outside Lemmy, are in favor of legalization. There’s just a lot of old people in charge of the laws who are against it because of years of “Reefer Madness” propaganda crap.

        Like, Ohio had a ballot initiative not long ago to legalize it recreationally and, after it passed, their legislature tried to knee-cap it (unsuccessfully, I believe).
