Not to beat a dead horse, but only a small percentage of society even tries marijuana once, much less a daily smoker. So, it might actually be a good idea to temporarily legalize marijuana - that’s how it was in the past.
40-45% of Americans have tried it at least once = small percentage?
(Actually, I suspect such studies don't capture the true numbers i.e. those numbers are larger).
“Not to beat a dead horse, but only a small percentage of society even tries marijuana once, much less a daily smoker. So, it might actually be a good idea to temporarily legalize marijuana - that’s how it was in the past.”
Were it legalized, a far higher percentage would be smoking it. There are severe societal costs to such an outcome.
Keep it illegal keeps it marginalized. I think that is a very good thing.
