Elton John is right, marijuana legalization was a ‘great mistake’

It largely is as a narcotic. Aside from that, it was never historically in widespread use. There are societies that had some use, but it wasn't nearly as common as using alcohol was.

I'd say the #1 problem with it is that THC stays in your system up to 30 days after use. The problem with that is if you use on say, Friday, you still have some level of THC in your system on Monday. This isn't true of alcohol. Your body processes that fairly quickly.

Where the problem arises is when you are doing something for an employer or in public. For example, if an airline pilot smoked a joint on Friday and flew on Monday and the plane crashed, a drug test would find THC in their system. You can bet that every passenger, and surviving family of a passenger that died, would sue the living fuck out that airline for the pilot being "high." Doesn't matter what the level of THC actually was, it's sufficient to give an opening to lawyers and survivors to sue on.

Same thing with an employee injured on the job.

Thus, employers would have to put a ban on use and perform regular testing to avoid being sued when an employee uses marijuana.

If it took a few hours or say, a day, to leave your system there'd really be little problem with it. It'd be no different than alcohol.

You can bet that at some point police departments will start having testing equipment for THC in a person available and using it to slap DUI's on users left and right. Big money maker there. You use and drive, you can bet at some point this will occur and you will be fucked because of that long period of residual effect THC has.

Alcohol directly leads to the death of almost 95,000 Americans each year.

Right now best estimates of annual pot related death are about 200.

Why do you support such a dangerous drug?
 
I'll bet that folks thought the same thing after the 21st Amendment was passed. Yeah, freedom is annoying and sometimes even dangerous as even adults sometimes make poor decisions. It doesn't change that I prefer the state of freedom to that of annoying idiots with parent fetishes wanting to run my life.

I thought the JPP sex pest was exclusively heterosexual, but you never know. I hear several women have had to have the courts forbid him to contact them, and women do talk, so maybe he's desperate. He's a lonesome loser by his own admission. He posts that music video a lot.
