Regardless of the harms or benefits, your body belongs to you not to the government. Once you let the gov tell you what you can and can't put into your body you are their property and soon they will try to forcibly medicate you. We saw that with covid.
Telling you what you HAVE to do is vastly different than telling you what you CAN'T do. "You have to kill your wife" is vastly different from "You are forbidden to kill your wife".
I just added a big gravy-boat worth of sauce about marijuana's harmful effects under the opening post. Weed is bad news, causes a LOT of problems.

Yes obviously its different, but they both represent forms of control. Freedom is what made America great, not self righteous moralizing.
