I get really tired of the voluntary blind spot people adopt about this. Legalization is happening for medicinal reasons, and for economic/justice reasons. Not because people everywhere decided it's good for you recreationally. It's not this binary thing where all of a sudden it's the same as, like, knitting as a hobby. Growing it also doesn't inhabit the same moral space as growing wine grapes in your back yard, or even brewing beer in your garage.

Says you. I fail to see any reason see why wine making is morally better than growing cannabis, or why alcohol use would be morally better than cannabis use.

One might be more common, but it's certainly not more moral to do.

Having seen both the short and long term effects of both (sadly), I'd say alcohol is way more immoral in an universal (not social standard) sense.
All I know, and what I think he's saying is that if I were to tell my friends and family that I grew that (which I don't) they would all redicule and/ore disown me.

And a lot of people I know would be in the same boat. Is everyone like that no of course not, but I'd venture to say a significant portion of people are(not necessarily majority, but a lot)
