Yes. Their production should be illegal and punished with fines and jailtime. Their recreational use should be punished with fines (take away the money they would’ve used to buy more substances) and forced rehab, ie. Classes on how to stop relying on those drugs.
Right, nothing more totalitarian than wanting to save people’s lives. Let’s allow everyone to do everything that makes them feel good, consequences be damned. What’s the worst that could happen?
Like honest question: Do you think we should ban every activity that is as risky as consuming marijuana? If not, why not? Why marijuana and not everything else.
If we’re banning marijuana to save lives because it’s too risky we should be banning driving a car, and climbing a ladder, and hundred other common everyday activities that are more likely to kill you then smoking pot.
You’re not wrong, there are health risks to weed. But there’s risks with literally everything, and weed is really far down on the list of most risky activities.
Going up a ladder and using a car fulfill a practical purpose, and there are numerous safety precautions you can take to minimize the potential risk of an injury. On the contrary, recreational cannabis is explicitly done for fun, and there isn’t really a “risk-safe” way of developing schizophrenia due to substance abuse lmao

Your use of the word “risky” implies that there’s a consequence-free way of doing cannabis. There is not. You will always suffer adverse health effects by doing marijuana.
And to answer your question, no. Because security precautions can be taken to do other fun activities safely. There are no sufficient precautions which would allow you to do marijuana 100% safely.

That sounds pretty totalitarian

Genuinely curious where do you draw the line?

Should we ban roller coasters? They fulfill no practical purpose, and only add risk of injury.
