minus-squareNibodhika@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·3 months agoYeah, I’ve had that same discussion even as an adult. It usually follows like this: “No, I mean addictive drugs” “Like tobacco?” “No, I mean psychoactive drugs” “Like Coffee?” “No, recreational drugs” “Like Alcohol?” I have never had someone give a description of why weed should be illegal but not tobacco.
