3. Its morally and physically okay to occasionally partake, if you feel that you want to. Though, its not exactly ideal.

4. Consistent Pot use is not physically nor psychologically healthy.

5. A physically healthy and socially functional / fulfilling life is more enjoyable than a pot habit, which is a fact that few addicts will cosign due to the addiction. Its also a lot harder to realize the former if you have the latter. Some do, but many are inhibited by the habit. There is a survivorship bias when watching people like Rogan (regularly) and Musk smoke.
As I said in another thread, if you want to turn a "small government conservative" into an advocate for nanny-statism, bring up marijuana. This post is a perfect example of that.

I'm going to crap in your cereal bowl.

I support legalizing pot needles.

I don't use it. But if it were legal...
I'd grow acres of it. Hire former dope felons to harvest and process it and sell it.
Have a weed app on the App store. Like uber. But delivers munchies and pot. To reduce the risk of DWI. No need to even leave to drive to the store. I'd get little green vans with bundles of it to drive around to make delivery.
I would make money hand over fist.
I would kick welfare dependency down to 0.
I would push to expunge any drug charges involved with the Devils lettuce.

I wouldn't touch it. Not my thing. But when opportunity to make money arises. I leap on it.

I'd keep Philip Morris away from venturing into the pot needles business.

Farmers would be able to grow it and produce it. Cash crop. No more need for subsidies.

I know, right? The man is an adult, the head of his own company, and not an elected official, and rich.

You're a bit behind the curve, this is a well-established business model already. I've even seen banner plane advertisements for it. And much to my disappointment, they didn't use the obvious "getting high" pun.

Naive, ignorant or troll -- you don't become a drug addict by trying to be cool and smoking weed with Rogan.

That's okay -- we all live in our bubbles and yours does include some stuff.
