The thing is that cigs and alcohol are so ingrained that they couldn't get rid of them if they wanted to. They don't want weed to get to that state, so they try to ban it despite it being useful.
They could swap one for the other. I don't know why no one in politics ever suggests that. It's so obvious. Of course you could ban alcohol without people staging so much civil disobedience that the decision is reversed, if you replaced it with something that's better by every measure, including influences on health, antisocial behaviour, addiction and its consequences, violent crime rates AND pleasurability of the high! Cannabis is both more enjoyable AND less addictive, what a win-win. If every licensed premise sold weed instead, it would not take long for most people to be very satisfied with the new arrangement.
And I would love to watch self-righteous alcohol users who look down on any recreational drugs that are currently illegal in their country, and have the gall to deny that alcohol is a drug or that drunkenness is just another drug high, get thrown in jail the way they're happy to see weed users get thrown in jail right now. Tossers.
"Faith is a state of openness or trust. To have faith is like when you trust yourself to the water. You don't grab hold of the water when you swim, because if you do you will become stiff and tight in the water, and sink. You have to relax, and the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging, and holding on. In other words, a person who is fanatic in matters of religion, and clings to certain ideas about the nature of God and the universe becomes a person who has no faith at all. Instead they are holding tight. But the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be."
