    But… alcohol should be legal, no? Despite the harm it causes, prohibition simply does not work.

    Cannabis can also cause harm (albeit less harm than alcohol) but should also still be legal. And other drugs like fentanyl (arguably) cause more harm than alcohol…but should also be legal.

    Prohibition is literally never a realistic solution to any drug or drug problems. Not a single country has ever had success.

        I literally just said both should be legal.

        But weed shouldn’t be legal because alcohol is legal. It should be legal because it should be legal, just like alcohol and fentanyl should be legal.

          yeah, you were making an argument but agreeing with everyone. I think you’re just missing the point. Alcohol being legal is a hypocrisy people are point out, not a logical argument lmao
