I’m taking a course about medicinal cannabis and I’m shook about how weed is illegal because it was tied to black and latinos back in the 20th century and I’M PRESSEDT™  

I can't wait for you to learn about how The War on Drugs was and is just about disenfranchising PoC voters.

lmao this is one hot take on the issue. Weed is a hallucinogen after all. It's hard to compare a joint to a glass of wine or even a couple shots of hard alcohol. Even a puff can be much stronger and more incapacitating. And what's with the cliche about artists needing high to be creative?

Not this fear mongering

I’ll smoke some weed tonight, 
Say whatever you like. 
Scheiße, scheiße so high, 
Scheiße, be high.

Put on a blaze tonight,
Do whatever you like. 
Scheiße, scheiße so high, 
Scheiße, be high.

When I’m on a mission,
Embracing green ambition.
For all weed-loving Germans,
You’ve got the permission.

I don't think it's a hot take to say Alcohol & Weed are comparable.

I mean alcohol is a strong depressant with proven capabilities to cause damage to multiple aspects of bodily function. 

Weed isn't officially classified as a hallucinogen - it actually meets the threshold for depressant, stimulant & hallucinogen and there's no actual agreement on what label to grant it. 
Weed's ability to trigger hallucinations are rare & not every user will experience them - hallucinogens are defined by the fact that hallucinations are a frequent symptom of use. 

Alcohol related deaths in the UK on recent stats were 20,970 in a single year. Cannabis related deaths in the UK on recent stats saw 26 in 2022 & a record high of 36 in 2020. 

Ignoring purer forms of alcohol used in professional environments for sterlisiation, alcohol doesn't offer medical benefits as treatment. Cannabis has usages as pain-relief in chronic pain patients, has applications currently in use for treatment for people with extreme debilitating seizures as a result of some epilepsies & has application as a treatment for people with depression & anxiety. 

My Biology teacher always used to say when we did modules on drugs that if tobacco & alcohol were discovered by scientists now the medical profession & governments would instantly classify them as dangerous addictive substances rather than allow the existing model of use exist. Their effects on the body & dangers they pose to the body are equal to the majority of controlled substances. 

This, the figures tell you all you need to know!
