As much as I love weed and as much as I think it should be federally legal I HATE it when people say “weed isn’t a drug, it’s a plant” like so is opium??? should we start doing opium now because it’s just a plant?😭 it’s a bad argument

Drugs aren’t inherently bad, either

agreed. but adding to this point specifically, i want to share a little fun fact that people know but probably don’t think about. nicotine and weed are the only regulated drugs (not including caffeine and such) that can’t kill you from the substance itself. alcohol can kill you if you drink enough. any painkillers/opiods/prescription drugs can kill you if you overdose. and the same applies with all other harder drugs. which is why i HATE the demonization of weed so much.

like obviously smoking can kill you by lung damage, but if you’re only doing nicotine pouches or edibles (or other non doming methods of ingestion) it cannot kill you.

Oh yes for sure, I totally agree. You aren’t wrong at all. I said this more because nobody is going to take us seriously with shitty arguments like that and I see it ALL THE TIME 😭 there are so many better arguments you can give for weed that actually make sense you know? And the demonization of weed I’m sure is partially caused by the demonization of drugs in general. A lot of the hate for it is also racially motivated.

But it’s also like a lot of the drugs that we take on a daily basis like Advil, can also kill you in a high enough dose. But Advil is far more accepted than marijuana. So weird

i'm not sure where you got the idea that nicotine can't kill you from the substance itself, it is very uncommon in adults but children or low body weight adults can absolutely fatally overdose on nicotine. its just not common as for the normal sized adult it takes a lot of

well because advil isn't psychoactive, and does not have real addictive potential. i understand the point and agree that weed is demonized for something that is virtually impossible to OD on but it does have risks that go beyond it's ability to literally poison you, and i think that too often the culture is split into ppl who think weed is like evil satanic drug, and ppl who think it's awesome and has no risks. not that that's you, i'm just ranting lol
