I have always seen the argument “it’s less harmful than its alternatives that are legal”
It’s alternatives for what? Meaning what purpose are you assuming for marijuana use?

Good, let’s take the next logical step. If you have a child who eventually develops cancer, and it runs in your family, no coverage, shouldn’t have had the child knowing the risks.
How stupid or high are you? I mean I know weed affects the mind, but you are comparing genetic issues with someone choosing and knowingly shoving a toxin in their body to get high?
some people really are this stupid.

Well, except for the moobs and the ED, but let the stoners stone.

Two primary components to health outcomes are genetics and lifestyle.

That’s true. Everyone seems to be on meds or have some sort of mental condition.

Your point? One is under your control and the other is not. Care to guess which one smoking weed falls under?
Your argument is that since some people have genetic limitations or issues, they should be punished like a potheads who chooses to smoke.
You have some stupid logic.

What you quoted says "we don't know the risks, so obviously it is bad."
"It isn't physically addictive, but psychologically addictive"
So it is like social media, porn, and Fortnite?
Lol. K.
Sound the alarm.

I don't think anyone (with a brain) disagrees. The argument has always been that it is no worst than alcohol
Not exactly, for a long time (and may possibly still be among the louder advocates) the claim was that it was safer than alcohol. These were the same people who claimed it isn't addictive either (but then try telling a heavy smoker that and they'll lose their shite as if it were an intervention).

Agree.

Good grief, if that's true, we're a soft country.
More and more research points to those pills not really helping, long-trrm.

To the posters who think this is all just a hit piece brought to you by big tobacco, the booze industry, et al., I've personally had cannabis hyperemesis syndrome (miserable is an understatement), and I used to get consistent, bad chest pains and other concerning heart attack/stroke warning signs during periods of heavy pot use. I don't mean, "Oh, I went one toke over the line, got paranoid, and thought I was gonna have a heart attack." I mean in daily life, actively stoned or not.
I was hospitalized twice for CHS and was in so much pain that they gave me morphine.
Since going from a heavy daily user to a dabbler at best, I don't have those issues. TIFWIW, but CHS, heart problems, and mental health issues from pot use aren't just DARE fear mongering.

People with genetic predispositions to disease know it before they have kids. It’s under their parents control, maybe just make it illegal for those people to procreate?

No my arguement is that health outcomes are a complex mixture of genetics, choices, environment, luck etc. you stupid fricks only want to people for certain choices. The problem is the collective system we use, if you see it as a problem. There are people who smokes weed who never develop cancer etc and some that don’t who do, we should just treat everyone or make everyone pay their own freight in full. Doctors can’t really even tell you specifically what “caused” a certain thing, at best they can say such and such may have or likely contributedl

Being harmful does not justify it being illegal.

And that argument would be incorrect for many reasons. For one, small amounts of some alcoholic drinks, such as wine, show some health benefits. But more obviously, most people that consume alcohol do not do so to get drunk every time they drink it. A person smoking weed do so for one reason, to get high.

Sounds like you were really hitting on the fentanyl/meth with those symptoms.
