Seems like prohibition taught us some lessons on banning things in our country’s past.
I know many M advocates are sure and certain that smoking M is not like smoking cigarettes. However, I have never believed this. We have a few relatives who were heavy pot smokers for decades. Painful esophagus cancer was one of the causes of death.
Anyway, this is just my BFO

Not the OP but the point is well taken. Tobacco lawsuits have done little (except for attorneys) to prevent usage or lung disease. Same with alcohol and liver disease....scratch tickets and gambling addiction and on and on. I'm all for education but stop short on prohibition. With the obvious restriction on minors.
