If you want to argue marijuana should be illegal because someone could get hurt by using it irresponsibly, logically you'd have to also ban not just alcohol, but pretty much everything from power tools to food processors to cars for the same reason.
WHy don't you actually read what i said instead of trying to put a spin on it. Weed impairs your judgement , reaction speed so that if you smoke weed or have some alcohol your driving is impaired. If you have a crash as a result it may result in victims. All of my points were directed at Ong assertion that growing and selling cannabis was a victimless crime. I pointed out where that action of growing and selling cannabis could result in victims. In the uk drug driving is taken just as seriously by traffic police as drink driving and the cops now have a test for it.If the drugs weren't grown/sold originally , the purchasers wouldn't have caused those victims.

Everyone knows that they shouldn't drink and drive, even though alcohol is legal, not many realise that they shouldn't drive under the influence of drugs and thats where your logic falls down .People using power tools , food processors would typically be using them without their judgement being impaired through drink and/or drugs.

whats surprised me is that there's been no comments directed at the second part regarding supplying heroin because there's a demand , or keeping sex slaves to satisfy the demand for sex
