Reply to comment by Alfa505 in Is smoking weed illegal, I know possession of weed is illegal but is it illegal to smoke it in your home by Ronnie-Nesbitt

I used to work in a hospital too, and there were tons of people admitted for alcohol-related reasons. Drunk driving accidents/injuries, detoxing from alcohol which can be fatal, organ damage due to long-term alcohol use, alcohol poisoning, etc. I could go on. Alcohol related deaths kill more people than any drug, way more than weed, but alcohol is allowed to be legal. So with your reasoning, alcohol should be illegal, right?

Alcohol can definitely be a problem and kills a bunch of innocent people everyday. I just dont think making the same mistake twice makes sense, government regulation is a daily part of our lives why can’t consumer knowledge of what your actually ingesting hurt.
