Legalize it for its medical uses.
However it must be illegal to smoke it. Must not be as easy to get (I have a headache, here get your medic card)
Illegal to use in anyway as a recreational, no consumption/smoking unless it is necessary.
Any type of smoking is WORSE for people around you...
You're free to do anything in pursuit of happiness as long as it does not get others caught up in it. Smoking forcefully does.
Drinking alcohol doesnt as it is consumable. Your actions are now what makes it illegal.
Smoking from the get-go causes people around you to be in danger. The amount of toxicity exponentially increases for 2nd hand smokers while 1st hand smokers only get a slim fraction of it.
"but it's natural and not addicting"
Yeah you know why it's called a gateway drug? because it's habit forming.
"medical uses"
You know which plant also has a long history of medical uses and is natural?
Poppey or otherwise known as opium.
****in potheads. Majority of those people are hippies anyways.
This is coming from an ex-pot smoker.
Anyone who's done drugs, alcohol, and weed would tell you the same.
You live a sad life if you need any substance to feel happy. That's all there is to it.
