Why pot should be illegal:
1. 1 joint puts the same amount of tar in your lungs as 20 cigarettes
2. It does cause cancer ( it messes with your receptors and can turn one of them on for cancer in non academic language
3. The smell of smoking or growing just stinks horrible
4. It is addictive ( if you claim it's not lets ask all those people who just can't stop smoking it)
5. It does irreversible damage to your brain. (It slows your brain down)
And I know I am missing some here but these are the highlights

I guess that would throw a real monkey wrench into the prison/alcohol/big pharma lobbies though.
Big Pharma is a problem, but not nearly as much as the American prison system and the war on drugs. Opioids were an $11B market in 2010. Simply the incarceration of marijuana-related prisoners in 2011 cost taxpayers $16B. That hardly scratches the surface of the total cost associated with investigating and prosecuting those "crimes."
Any fiscal conservative should have zero qualms with making marijuana legal at the federal level. If a state or municipality wants to criminalize it, that's up to those voters, but it has no business being illegal at a federal level.

I agree. I think the many of the advocates for legalized marijuana use do themselves a disservice by purposefully ignoring or denying the drawbacks, risks, side effects, etc. That's probably a result of the drug being vilified to such an exaggerated extent for so long, that people become very defensive. There's also a segment of the pot decriminalization movement that behave like religious zealots, which actually hurts their case because they seem too far removed from reality to be taken seriously.

Yes. This board has a lot of people that are Christian non marijuana addicts

What if I only take my marijuana plant in edible form?
Posted on 12/28/17 at 10:48 am to tigerbacon
Ok, which of those doesn't also apply to alcohol or cigarettes at it's base level?

You'd probably remember if you didn't smoke so much pot back in the day.

1. Why is it your business what I do to my lungs?
2. Excess sugar over many years has been linked to cancer. Should sugar also be illegal?
3. No one is forcing you to smell it outdoors. And there are lots of smells I don't like. Should they all be illegal? The smoking of anything indoors, in most places, is prohibited at the private level.
4. Sugar is addictive. So is porn.
5. Boxing does irreversible damage to your brain. Why is it your business what I choose to do with my brain?
My point is that these aren't issues that are affecting you. So why are you concerned with what others choose to do with their bodies?

Significantly less dangerous/addictive/lethal than alcohol for sure, and less addictive than tobacco. I'm too lazy right now to compare ingestion of tobacco smoke vs cannabis smoke long term effects (speaking to effects of the actual smoke and not the drug), but my impression is that smoking tobacco is worse.
Time for things to change, if you ask me.

I'm a pretty big personal liberty advocate. Whatever you want to do to yourself, go right ahead. If/when it becomes a problem for the public at large, there can be laws for that, DUIs for example.

I feel that it should be decriminalized entirely, and at a minimum moved to a much lower schedule
Schedule 1 doesn't mean the drug is somehow "worse" than a Schedule 2 drug. In many cases it's the other way around. Schedules rank drugs based on potential for addiction and also on whether they have an accepted medical use. Whether rightly or not, the powers that be do not believe MJ has an acceptable medical use, so it is Schedule 1.
Fentanyl OTOH does have medical use so it is Schedule 2, despite the fact that it is much stronger than heroin and God help you if you ever get hooked on the stuff.
