Legalize weed or ban alcohol, there's my goddamn stance.
I've lost several friends to the latter, have yet to lose one to the former.
Although I mostly agree on legalization for medicinal purposes, the argument of "alcohol is legal, so why isn't weed" is a dumb argument, considering yes although "natural" weed isn't as dangerous as alcohol, with alcohol, a mainstream party drug we've used since the beginning of civilization, the negatives are a lot more known, and as a result your average person won't drink more than 2-5 (cans?) one day every weekend before they decide they're at the top of their high and its time to stop. With weed, there's very little research of the negative parts of the drug, often ends up being a gateway to harder drugs, and doesn't function very well with parties, unless everyone's (using?) it.
I can literally plaster vaping all over your argument and say the same thing with a lot more power due to it's technological tie-ins, yet that is still very much legal.
So I'll change.
Legalize weed or ban vaping. Happy?
using vaporizers with illegal drugs is still illegal.
I know, hence why it was implied you use the legitimate form of vaping. I feel like you may be unaware that vaping is not restricted to marijuana.
Also, since I kinda just sorta noticed/registered it.

The fact that you said 'often ends up being a gateway to harder drugs' is not only, well, false, but if it were true, that would be research on the negative parts of the drug right there...
If anything, in case you haven't noticed, the government is constantly clawing and going apeshit to find more negatives with weed, to the point of fabricating points. I'd be more compelled to say that there's very little research of the positive effects of the drug. I mean, basically every point that can be made in it's favor is just "It feels good". That's it. That's literally it. It reduces stress? Yeah, because it feels good. It eases your troubles? Yeah, because it feels good.
I have flipped through the online pages enough to know that nearly every argument and statistic in it's favor is just that it feels good and isn't nearly as addictive as other drugs/substances.
The cons, however? They reach absolute preposterous levels and I don't use that word lightly. There's stuff that's just plain wrong. For example, unless you think video games cause violence in a perfectly sane and well-grounded individual (in which case we're not friends anymore), then Mortal Kombat is my gateway to lighting my fists on fire and challenging people to a supernatural fight in the street.
Hell, it's basically Australia government logic. And fuck Australia.
