"Governments all over the world fight against the herb because they know if everyone smoked herb, most naturally, people are going to communicate much better together... But if you drink the rum, it keeps ya down, it breaks you down, makes you easy to control" Bob Marley

x-crossposting because ingesting poison is hugely popular,
intentionally glamorized to keep people confused and miserable

Many governments have tried – and failed – to stop people from drinking alcohol. It's easier to ban the marketing first, so people have time to stop being addicted, but honestly? Let people drink alcohol; it's already enough of a social taboo that it'll gradually phase out. That's happening already.

If we keep up the social ostracisation, people'll stop drinking alcohol as much. Aggressive marketing campaigns – like with cigarettes – will help.

(Also, I'm not certain that "the herb" is much better, but it seems less addictive. The adulterants are what you should be more worried about.)

Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.

You cannot stop human ingenuity, and determination; it's like controlling a rain drop; maybe for a while it can be contained, but it always finds a way...

Mix that into drugs, and here are my thoughts, weed isn't a drug, but the ptb have viewed it as such, and limited it's reach in society. Yet now, it's everywhere, and all other drugs are as well; why? I would almost wonder that 'they' are doing something really big, history changing at this point, look around at the insanity. I guess the question is, what is it, that it's easier to let the population self medicate; than they dare learn any/the truth?

But if you combine the two you just might have one of your better days. Gets rid of the anxiety from weed alone and improves the experience of smoking solely by itself.

I have heard that "drunk + high = drunk"
