Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

I can definitely understand peoples’ issues with it being consumed, especially in a political context, but how do yall feel about “weed”? I won’t hide my feelings, I am very much pro-weed, it’s not great that I started in my mid-teens but in my area it’s FAR from uncommon. I don’t smoke daily or anything, I’m not addicted to it (people say it’s non-habit forming but any drug can be addictive with enough frequent usage) but I do smoke and dab w/ friends often. That’s not why I believe in legalization tho, my main thing is you shouldn’t make a naturally occurring plant an illegal substance. I’d point to the DEA’s destructive (legal) burning of thousands of naturally occurring marijuana plants found in nature; This seems eco-fascist to me and to deny the uses of hemp as a production material seems dogmatic to me. The USSR used hemp for industrial purposes during the war and it helped in a major way. I’m sure most of us are familiar with the badge given for Hemp growers. If you have any criticisms, I’m more than open to it, but I feel that marijuana won’t be easy to get rid of in future society and would probably be put to use in different more productive ways.

Drugs should be restricted on a case-by-case basis. If you’re smoking once a week, there’s no need for it to be restricted for you. If you smoke 2 ounces a week, we should maybe look into it. If all you do is smoke all day everyday, we should definitely look into it and restrict how much you can get.

solving the reason of why someone is relying on cannabis all day every day is a way more efficient way of handling it than just cutting them off. there is almost always a reason why someone ends up using it that much.

Completely agree. Material Conditions> Dogmatic Laws

I definitely agree, but we can both restrict access to some while also working to make their situation better so they don’t feel the need to use so much.
