      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.

      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

            Again, I didn’t say all countries follow objective morality (Basically countries that violate human rights, which is basically the closest thing to a codified objective morality we have)

          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 🙈🙉🙊
