I am not using the law as a justification but rather saying that something already being socially unacceptable for the majority of people and already being illegal is easier to counteract than something that these is no base for its elimination already. It is easier to oppose something already illegal than saying we should eliminate something from scratch even if I agree with you that it ought to be eliminated long term. Smoking and alcohol do not serve the same purpose as cooking and are unnecessary and easily replaceable.

rapidly losing interest here but illegality in no way corresponds to social unacceptability. i'm not sure why you would ever make the mistake of conflating the two tbh.

Marijuana is socially unacceptable by many people outside of those in criminal circles and it's level of acceptability can be counteracted through media and education

no sorry i think you might just be a loser. D.A.R.E already exists and it never changed anyone's mind.

Ah yes, I am the loser. Not the person promoting drug addiction
