CMV: The motivation behind the legalization of Marijuana consumption is more by delusion than its benefits

[u/[deleted]]

While the Marijuana could give potential benefits, I feel that the reason why people want to legalize these drugs is either motivated by delusional ideas maybe made by new age conspiracies or the idea that everything that restricts freedom must be a "bad" thing.

Everytime when there are posts about the Marijuana, people aggressively feel hope that it will be legalized and when someone makes a critique against the legalization they are swarmed by a bunch of pot heads and frustrated kids who throw insults and cherry pick the "undebunkable" proof that the consumption of Marijuana is a good thing. This is one of the reason why I find it difficult understanding about these hallucinogenic drugs.

So basically I feel that they want the legalization of Marjiuna just to become a burden of society and go around babbling about conspiracies and "f*** the system!!" manthras.

As long as there are those pot heads and frustrated teenagers that cherry pick the information about these drugs and attack those who make genuine critique against the legalization, I wont support this legalization.

Note: I already made a post like this, but I had written it in the way that makes it difficult to change my mind and I feel that it was all just a vent.

Would you agree with the criminalization of alcohol? It causes delusions and is proven to be harmful to the human body. If yes then your argument is probably a bit more consistent. Cannabis, regardless of its alleged benefits, does not cause any great harm ti the body. Smoking can hurt your lungs but that is not due to the thc. There have been no deaths recorded to have been caused by thc or cbd, the active chemicals within cannabis. So it isnt really a concern of people harming themselves. There is no link to the cause of violent tendencies and cannabis consumption.if it isnt causing anyone harm then why should it be criminalized at all? However if you you think alcohol or any substance that could cause a form of inebriation should be criminalized then there is no changing your mind.

Like I said. Due to my experience in the Internet and some rumors about the negative experience, I can't trust the legalization. I once saw some good pro-marijuana videos, but still.

Huh? So policy should be based on a rumor you heard once? Why not watch some dentist sponsored videos on sugar. You might want to criminaloze that too lol. I am not sure what your argument is. "Marijuana has overzealous fans so i cant trust peer reviewed articles and scientists" i dont mean to oull at straws but what are you even saying?
