Can you tell me how it affects or even hurts anyone if someone is smoking weed at home? There is literally no point in making it illegal. What you can do is making it illegal to do certain things while under the influence of drugs, for example driving a car. And guess what, exactly this happens with alcohol too. But making the drug itself illegal is imo a bad idea.

We’re progressing, we’re already talking about limitations and regulations and control in general!

This has been productive for both of us, keep up walking the good path, friend.

The drug market currently is completely unregulated. It‘s easier for a teenager to buy weed, than alcohol. If we make it legal, we can actually regulate it, like alcohol.

This exact mentality, applied to guns, led to the school shooting situation in the US.

Also

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), globally, it is estimated that about 1 in 3 women (or approximately 33%) have experienced physical and/or sexual violence at some point in their lives

Shall we legalize groping? Legalize it (it’s unavoidable) and then regulate it (applies rules to how long you can touch, where you can touch, etc)
