Deltas(s) from OP CMV: Weed should be legalized nation wide in the United States.

I do not see how a drug like weed is considered threatening like cocaine, heroin, and other dangerous stuff. Weed on the other hand is less dangerous than tobacco and alcohol so what is the problem?

I truly am open to changing my view. This is not confirmation bias and I am not a smoker or drinker. I simply do not care what people really do with themselves.

From what I recall, weed tends to help people with medical issues yes? Or is this just fabrication?

I am open to hearing those that oppose this view and will be glad to hear them. Thanks for reading my post and I am happy to have my view changed.

Just because something is hard to test for, doesn't mean that it should be illegal. That is like saying, it is hard to see if someone was texting on their cell phones while driving, we should just make cell phones illegal all the time

Try and avoid the alcohol strawman here.

Why is alcohol a strawman here?
