Fast food has nutritional value (because it's just food) and even alcohol has caloric content that can stave off starvation, but cigarettes and marijuana don't. People frequently bring up cigarettes in the marijuana debate, but I imagine these days most people would be fine with banning those, too. It's really just alcohol -- which is responsible for a third of all car crashes, plays into a lot of crimes, and is closely linked to domestic abuse, and generally ruins society -- that people turn a blind eye towards. Fast food is more demonized than alcohol in this country and that's completely fucked up. Marijuana also has a link to other illegal behavior, but it's nowhere near as bad as alcohol.

But first keep in mind that it takes decades for cigarettes to reach the point of tremendous harm whereas marijuana can result in much sooner deaths and the overall lasting impact of marijuana won't be known until it happens. --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
