> Tobacco is Going to Go Mainstream

While I support cannabis legalization, I'm really not excited about it, outside of the minority of users that use it as pain relief/medicine.

And why is that sir?

Like alcohol and tobacco (and sugary drinks, and processed food, and...), it is yet another vice. More specifically: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_(drug)#Adverse_effect...

That link is really bad and if you’re trying to prove a point you should find a scholarly one.

Right now it just sounds like you think all vice is bad, you decide exclusively what vice is, but... that’s just an opinion on how you view the way to live a good life.

I like that its going mainstream in the sense of quality control and regulated dispenseries and hitting cartels in the wallet but I don't really like seeing it going mainstream in the sense that it's allowed to be advertised. If people want to do weed let them, but it shouldn't be encouraged.
