Why is smoking pot considered a victimless crime when it harms people and should be met by death?
The reason pot is considered a victimless crime is because it is. The only problems with it are due to criminalisation. People don’t smoke pot and become reckless, or violent. I don’t know if you have had a bad experience but if someone you know was acting reckless when high it wasn’t the pot that was making them that way. And yes, it may make some people irrational in some ways: no rational person would go on a four hour trek to find munchies in the middle of the night. No rational person would roll around the floor laughing at the carpet. No rational girl would think Harold and Kumar were funny unless she was stoned. But none of these things are dangerous now are they? Pot makes you relaxed, giggly, and chilled and it’s not addictive. If the government would let me grow some in my garden/home, I wouldn’t even have to fund organised crime to get it.
