I wouldn’t say it’s good, but alcohol is far worse.
We saw how that worked out in the 20’s.
The 18th Amendment, 1919. It closed 177,790 saloons. It closed 1,755 breweries. Crime decreased 54%. The death rate due to liquor decreased 42%. Of the existing 98 “Keely Alcoholic Clinics”, 77 were closed. Insanity decreased 66%. When the amendment was repealed in 1933, drunkenness increased 350% and major St. Louis hospitals alone recorded a 400% increase in alcoholic patients.
We're already seeing serious side effects of this poison. Numerous threads have been posted on FR about the severe mental illness accompanying (today's) pot smoking. Educate yourself.
I can't say I agree with that. Current THC products have caught up and can do great harm in a very short period of time. Most alcohol issues take a while to show permanent damage other than the obvious stupor antics.
Alcohol is far more destructive, I think, only because of scale. Once THC products make their way to the Walmart checkout aisle, I think you’ll see even marijuana problems escalate, like alcohol.
