My only opinion on weed is that alcohol is far worse for you. Maybe I shouldn't have an opinion though because I haven't smoked weed or drunk alcohol since high school

Wild that something like alcohol is legal. I wonder if the reason is that it's so tied into Anglo culture to be drunk as shit all the time that they can't make it illegal? That shit is so bad for you. I've seen it ruin so many peoples health and mood

I don't think it's coincidence that Quebec has Canada's most restrictive cannabis laws, and is also home to so many of Canada's mass-market alcohol producers.

They tried and failed, no drug should be illegal for adults.

They tried to make it illegal in the 30s and it didn't take. But I hear yoing adults are drinking less than their parents did, so mYbe tjings are turning around.

I do enjoy alcohol but it's absolutely a poison on society
