Hey… you’re pretty good…

Gotta stop those dangerous journalists. Luckily, Israel knows just how to deal with those sorts /s

Mandatory Fun Conversation

Do you know what the word “quantify” means? Maybe look it up before you reply?

express or measure the quantity of:

20-fold higher

You know that the UK doesn’t have the “FDA” right?

I’m sorry that you don’t understand that, when arguing from principle, the principle can be applied to various real-world examples to demonstrate absurdity? Your argument was explicitly about “the state”, conceptually, not Britain specifically.

Since your own grasp on the English language is tenuous, considering your Dunning-Kruger moment above, I think this conversation is over.

Not a single source in that article actually quantifies the difference that you just described as “significant”. Want to try again? Or do you just want to admit that you said a thing that seemed like it was true and then googled it for the first time when I asked you to?

Holy fucking shit, did you not read even the first three paragraphs of the link

For example, federally funded research at the University of California, Los Angeles compared the lifetime risk of lung cancer among more than 2,000 long-term marijuana smokers, tobacco smokers, and non-smokers.

Investigators determined that those who regularly smoked cigarettes possessed a 20-fold higher lung cancer risk than non-smokers. Those who only smoked marijuana had no elevated risk.

Either the state is in charge of forcing you not to buy things that are unhealthy or it isn’t. If it is then there is no reason not to also ban Marijuana for the same reason even if it is “less bad” than tobacco. No one is arguing that its good for you. Why not bad refined sugar and caffein and thousands of other things that are bad for you?

You’re absolutely right, time to abolish the FDA and go back to heroin cough syrup over-the-counter.

Imagine having such a childishly boolean view of the world.

Tobacco is considerably worse.

In any case, this doesn’t appear to criminalize possession, which is the usual sticking point for people against drug prohibition.

Mixed feelings on China replacing US as a global hegemon but I guess everyone needs their solar panels now.

China doesn’t have the power projection to replace the USA as a global hegemon right now. That means there’s still time for international institutions to fill the void in the coming decades.

Best lil guys, they recharge my shields

Mainland China is also ruled entirely by an authoritarian regime whose presence is extremely notable to those tourists who aren’t interested in putting blinders on. For some people, that’s crap.

Conflicting news, including from Iran itself, over whether the Strait was open contributed, doubtlessly.
