Now, if it's fine, I would like to ask you this. If weed, as you feel, is less dangerous, why is it illegal. Wouldn't cigarettes be considered illegal instead? Either way, people are going to want the illegal stuff as it gives them a sense of achievement when they acquire said item, whatever it may be. I'm probably treading in hypocritical waters, aren't I?
As far as I know weed was made illegal not because of its negative effects but decades ago because of racism. I'm not sure of that now so don't go taking it as a fact. It could have also come from the same morals that led to the ban of alcohol. But prohibition showed that making it illegal only funded crime. I see the same for weed. I'd rather see it legal and heavily controlled by the government instead of funding gangs and being sold when there could be anything in it.
