Question about pot
If it is so damaging to the brain, why is pot legal in some countries?
Answer:Most likely because they can tax it, considering the people are going to do it regardless!
because its not harmful
i have no idea
why are cigarettes legal even tho they're so damaging to the body?
because many people should know the effects of the things they are putting in their body, and if they choose to do something that harms them, its their choice. the countries know that people are going to do it no matter what, because theyre stupid, so why even bother making it illegal? they figure that anyone with half a brain wouldnt start smoking pot because of the long term side effects
*******
Mostly because people have given up trying to illegalise it and society's willing to tolerate it's negative effects. For exactly the same reasons why prohibition of alcohol was overturned and smoking persists. It's a compromise between the damage done to the abusers of marijuana versus the social cost of the crime associated with the black market.

MARIJUANA MYTHS
Myth: Today's marijuana is more potent and more harmful than it was many years ago.
Fact: There is no medical evidence that shows high-potency marijuana is more harmful than low-potency marijuana. Marijuana is literally one of the least toxic substances known. High-potency marijuana is actually preferable because less is of it consumed to obtain the desired effect; thereby reducing the amount of smoke that enters the lungs and lowering the risk of any respiratory health hazards. Claiming that high-potency marijuana is more harmful than low-potency marijuana is like claiming wine is more harmful than beer.
