If you're against legalizing marijuana then you have to be for banning alcohol - eviltoast

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).
