I mean there are tons of drugs which are perfectly legal, so I donโ€™t really see that as a sound reason to outlaw it.

"Tons of drugs" literally just tobacco and alcohol

And caffeine And acetaminophen And ibuprofen And sildenafil And benzodiazepine And fluoxetine And sertraline And spironolactone And cetirizine โ€ฆ

Those can hardly be considered drugs

And yet caffeine is more addictive with stronger withdrawal effects.

You should give up, it's clear to everyone that you've never used the substance and have all your information from drug-war era reefer madness propaganda.

It's also clear that most people that defend it want their vices legalised

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.

Oh don't get me wrong, I do pity people that don't want to fight their vices

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.

Objective morality is a thing, and most legal systems follow it.

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)

We're just tired of you spouting nonsense kiddo

Alright, celebrate your "victory" then with a joint and poison yourself even more

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 ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ™Š

Okay I've had enough it's time for me to tell you that you are completely out of touch with reality. Now that you know this, you can overcome your ignorance with a little awareness. Good luck, it's going to be a bit of a battle to get your perceptions straightened out.

I "abuse" sildenafil because I get it through someone other than my GP and take it recreationally when swinging.

It is absolutely a drug.

hm sounds like you're enjoying yourself way too much sure that must be bad in some way? /s
