It's not moral damage literally as morals are not matter, its only the addiction speaking for you. You smoke yourself, want to smoke due to past addiction or personally see a profit in it for yourself.
Allowing a medicine like this to be legalized without doctors prescription would result in the deteriation of society, like cigarettes and alcohol. No matter how much the high of your possible abusive addition makes you feel. Go to the doctors, get it then put it in your gas tank. IT won't work in your gas tank!
I am not against alternative uses of the substance for non-consumptive reasons if regulated. But it should not contain any THC, kids might get a hold of it.
Marijuana is a proven effective medication and "legal" drug companies actively fund efforts to keep it criminalized for obvious reasons. It is easily growable by just about anyone and is relatively cheap. This means that since it is easily produced by just about anyone, legalizing it would make a major dent in the company profits. The governments need to stop running after the pot people and start taking down the cocaine and heroin which are the real dangers.
The wonderful professionals who testified before Congress were those Southern sheriff types who told our Congressmen that the "uppity n****rs" would rape white women if they were allowed to smoke marijuana or use cocaine. This really hasn't changed. They still use the racism, they just use more politically correct terminology.
The fact is that the possibility of "moral damage" was assessed by people who would happily lynch black men for having consensual relations with white women, and who would not even file charges against white men who forcibly raped black women. Whatever they had that passed for morals, morality didn't just need to be damaged, it needed to have its head cut off and a wooden stake driven through its heart.
SC wants this argument to go on and on with exchanges about "moral damage." It's a type of argument calculated to drive reasonable people mad. It doesn't give you anything to hold on to. Morals are looser than goose s**t. They can be anything that the moralizer wants them to be. They can be used to lord it over you no matter how much they change color and shape to confound whoever is arguing against them. It is just horribly amazing, but the people who use "moral" arguments can recycle the same garbage until infinity when dealing with honest people. Honest people can be convinced. "Moral" people cannot.
