“Weed ruins people. See it every day.”

So does alcohol, but it often ruins other people’s lives in the process. I’ve seen plenty of loud, obnoxious, violent drunks (including two drunk people who broke their hands punching walls). They get into fights, insist on driving when they can barely walk, etc.

Never saw someone high on marijuana do much more than eat all of the Nutter Butter cookies, and certainly never saw any of them get loud, obnoxious, or remotely violent or destructive.

If I had to choose which to make illegal, it would be alcohol. But I am not the kind of person who believes that everyone’s behavior should be controlled by the lack of self-control of others. Just because some people can’t exercise moderation with alcohol or marijuana, doesn’t mean everyone can’t.

One of the biggest problems we have today, is that no one is held responsible for their behavior and choices. As a result, we are all made less free.

Stop gaslighting for weed. Changing the subject to other drugs when the one you abuse is also as bad is a bad argument.

Of course there are exceptions, but it does tend to sap one's ambitions.
