I think Jim Gift’s take is it’s because just like alcohol and tobacco, though it’s legal, it has been factually peer review proven to also cause altered mental states, slowed responses, and damage to long term motivation.
And this is taken true with the majority of our States still.
I live in Cali, and though it’s legal here, the State this year approved a mass tax hike on MJ just because of these studies. It gave Gavin NewScum the green light to say they need more taxes to control the MH issues from side effects.
Though we all really know why the taxes went up. Sure there are studies for and against MJ, but it was about taxing more of the revenue MJ brings NewScum’s cronies! And not really to help anyone that needs/seeks treatment.
As a friendly historical reminder, the following tax acts led to an all-out war.
Sugar Act (1764)
Stamp Act (1765)
Townshend Acts [Led to the Boston Massacre in 1770 and the Boston Tea Party in 1773] (1767-1768)
Intolerable Acts [aka: Coercive Acts] (1774)
The Boston Port Act
Massachusetts Government Act
Administration of Justice Act
Quartering Act
Quebec Act
The government decided to take the colonists' weapons (where have we heard that before?) and the Battles of Lexington and Concord began on April 19, 1775, and thus began the Revolutionary War. Independence was formally declared on July 4th, 1776.
The rest, as they say, is history. And what a glorious history it is.
The Sons of Liberty are Eternal and Freedom, once obtained, shall Never be Extinguished.
I’m not talking for myself, just so we’re clear Anon.
I’m just summarizing from memory prior articles GWP and The State of Cali has said about the subject and how Jim or his reporters “appear” to write on such topics.
I’m keeping my personal opinion out. I’m fine with freedom to make my choices on stuff wether it helps me, is fun, harms me, or kills me. That’s all I’ll personally throw in.

It's always about the money and taxes.
