You know what I'd like to see, is someone prominent in the legalization of MJ movement pose this argument to anyone opposed to legalization of MJ. Just a little thought experiment.
First they would have to establish that MJ is equal to (I don't think so) or less dangerous than something already legal like alcohol.
Once that can be agreed upon, which I don't think any sane person could argue with if they are being truly intellectually responsible, my true argument could be placed.
What I'd like proposed is, what if the roles were reversed. Say MJ had history like alcohol and alcohol was prohibited like MJ is today.The person against the legalization of MJ, I would like to see them defend alcohol and propose why it should be legal while having to defend their position against the same crap theories, statistics, talking points and supposed dangers that they do about MJ. Problem is too many of those things would actually be true about alcohol and would be indefensible, unlike how so many if not all things waged against MJ are thin at best and complete f-ing lies at worst.
I would venture to say that their argument to legalize alcohol would fall vastly short of being valid as opposed to the argument to legalize MJ.
