    Weed is such a harmless little bullshit drug to be so ridiculously over-the-top hyper criminalized in some countries like bruh.

    Weed is gonna ruin your life because if you have it on your person imma sens you to prison for 30 fucking years and ruin your life.

    It does not. Make. Sense.

      The only issue I have with weed, and most other drugs, is that you can’t easily test for them in a person’s system, meaning that you can’t know if someone’s driving under the influence. This wouldn’t be as much of a problem if not for the fact that we have have such a car centric society. I don’t like people endangering other people just for a buzz.

        You can easily test if they’re in someone’s system with a saliva test, so your argument doesn’t make any sense.

          Blood test is better for weed. It’s only detectable for 12h vs 24h with saliva.

          But levels of THC aren’t really correlated with impairment.

        Eh, you can still do a blood test in conjunction with a field sobriety test. Its not as cut and dry as something like alcohol, but to be honest it really shouldn’t be anyways considering how much more dangerous driving while drunk is.

          Blood THC levels aren’t indicative of impairment. Even high levels are only weakly associated with impairment in occasional users, and there’s no correlation in regular users.

        I am 100% on bike I see no argument on there. Just don’t smoke 3 day before you have to drive.

      Outlawing cannabis products was essentially an exercise in deliberate systemic racism in the US. (Nixon).

      Unsure about the rest of the world.

        It goes farther back than that. DuPont and Hurst had a hand in making cannabis look bad.
