How is weed being legalized good? It means less people in jail for a plant that was actually made illegal because paper companies didn't like the fact that it's cousin Hemp could be used to replace paper and is a very versatile and useful and green. But no make the plant that people like to inhale bad. Like I don't smoke it and never plan to smoke it but now people are going to be able to not have to worry about getting arrested for trying to relieve stress and stuff. AND when places open up to sell it then that's more money in the economy. I understand if you don't approve, because I didn't for a long time. But it isn't as harmful as people have been made to believe it is.

How did I not know Melania was Solvenian! That's cool. I do like seeing the bright side of things. Not everything that came out of your country's election is bad.

But it isn't as harmful as people have been made to believe it is. From what I've read, tobacco seems to be far more dangerous than weed, not only to the user, but also the pets and people who inhale the smoke released by the user. Also, weed can be used to make paper? Why don't we harvest that instead of chopping down trees in the Amazon? Y'know. The trees that provide over 20% of the planet's oxygen. I'm sure the bleaching and sanitization processes would prevent students from turning their notebook paper into joints. Yes I agree with the tobacco, while both still can cause harmful smoke for the lungs tobacco is the only of the two that has addictive properties. And no sorry weed can not be used to make paper. It's cousin Hemp can be. Hemp can be used to make paper, clothes, and a lot of other products and from what I understand it is way more greener and easier to grow. Hemp though, can NOT be used to smoke or consume. It doesn't create that high that Marijuana does. But yeah that's why it was made illegal in the first place.
