led to a black market for pot

Which hasn't subsided where legalized.

a drug that most Americans view as relatively safe

Well, it isn't. All of that stuff you dismiss as propaganda is quite factual - brain damage, lowers IQ - especially in adolescents where the damage can be permanent/irreversible, seriously impairs function especially while driving, etc. All true. Just saying it isn't doesn't make it so. And you even argue it isn't addictive - really? Ever known anyone has needed serious treatment and counseling to break the very real addictions they have for it? Embarrassing you would say something like that that is an obvious falsehood - there's no "trying" in villainizing it - it is simply what it is. That doesn't mean the current policy toward it shouldn't be changed - different issue - but your arguments re: the affects of marijuana have no grain of truth to them and saying things that are not true is not a basis for starting a constructive discussion.

I’ll make you a deal. Let’s make pot (dangerous), alcohol (more dangerous) and tobacco (more dangerous) illegal.

I’ll be fine with that.

It’s not addictive .....you’re wrong there ....it’s habit forming I’ll give you that

It’s not totally safe admittedly but it’s in my vast experience safest of all intoxicants I’m familiar with

Why are we arguing

This is a fair accompli

Oh bullshit! What substance doesn't have harmful effects. Alcohol kills thousands every year. Do you want to bring back Prohibition?

encouraging any kind of mind altering substances is not good strategy for creating a robust, hardy,industrial people....

and yes, the states where weed has been voted in by the sheeple are encouraging it...

every street corner blasting the benefits of weed....radio, newspapers, magazines, billboards....

it is what it

very soon, big weed will take over and it'll all be more corporate profits for the elites....

Americans are a stupid lot.

There are two kinds of potheads, potheads that want to smoke, snort, eat, vape and essentialy worship pot and potheads that want to make immense profits selling pot to potheads.

Oh, I just thought of the third kind, which may actually just be a type of the second since they thrive off the governments “war” on drugs.
