    I mean there are tons of drugs which are perfectly legal, so I don’t really see that as a sound reason to outlaw it.

            And yet caffeine is more addictive with stronger withdrawal effects.

            You should give up, it’s clear to everyone that you’ve never used the substance and have all your information from drug-war era reefer madness propaganda.

                Or they’re sick of seeing people sentenced to prison for smoking a plant that isn’t even as intoxicating as the socially acceptable and fully legal alcohol.

                    I don’t smoke anymore, thanks. Used to, but don’t anymore. Any evidence of it being poison? No? Aww, you’re just lashing out like a kid then, I’ll stop responding

                    There’s something deeply sad in you’re replies, just a lack of compassion and a willingness to consider another viewpoint, with a faint hint of xenophobia 🙈🙉🙊

                Yes. You cannot legislate morality, or you simply force anyone who doesn’t share your morality to be a criminal.

                There’s a reason our legal system is based around standing and provable harm.

                Imagine if we made “being conservative” illegal. People would riot, and quite justifiably.

                    It most assuredly is not, and just going by “number of countries with fucked up laws” most legal systems are dumb as hell

              Eh, I’m not a fan of that definition. Technically Water meets the requirement and even skips the “food for nutrition” out that they give.

            Okay I’ve had enough it’s time for me to tell you that you are completely out of touch with reality. Now that you know this, you can overcome your ignorance with a little awareness. Good luck, it’s going to be a bit of a battle to get your perceptions straightened out.

            I “abuse” sildenafil because I get it through someone other than my GP and take it recreationally when swinging.

            It is absolutely a drug.
