I don’t smoke myself and I don’t care if others do. Being in Australia, I’ve noticed that lot of people want to legalise cannabis smoking. Fine, I don’t care. But, what does interest me is, the political and practical dimension of it. Australia is very tough on smoking in general. Are the people who want to legalise cannabis smoking ready to get regulated by the same rules that apply for tobacco smokers?
Signs on the packages, heavy taxation, no commercials, no smoking on public places and so forth? One can argue that cannabis is less harmful than tobacco smoking, but fact is that cannabis smoking is still smoking. And smoking produces poisonous gases that the Australian society as such are trying to practically kill off.
So, my question is, you Australians who want to legalise cannabis smoking, do you want to do it according to contemporary smoking laws (which pretty much tries to kill off smoking) or do you see yourself as “better” and therefore you want different laws (more freedom to smoke)? Just curious. Seems a bit weird that a country that works so hard to kill off tobacco smoking and make it inaccessible and unaccepted would want to introduce a new substance to smoke – and start the whole process over again.
Marijuana smoke stinks and it’s annoying as cigarette smoke, despite its cancer curing and other miracle heath benefits stoners claim it has.
