Because drugs!.

There's a whole contingent of the USA population who put all drugs in one mental bucket and scream "drugs are baaaaad."

If the USA government was serious about drug harm reduction, then THCs and hallucinogenics would be legal and cheap so law enforcement resources could focus on cracking down on actually harmful drugs like meth, fentanyl, PCP and it's analogs and so on.

Eventually, less harmful drugs would crowd out more harmful drugs and drug associated health problems become relatively minor.

Better than a medically illiterate fool.

Oh, but I'm sure you know better than doctors who have spent their lives studying these things like the authors of this article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/b...

Just like politicians who take contributions from oil companies know more about climate change than thousands of climate scientists who've spent their lives studying weather and climate.

You're not a deplorable as much as a "gullible."
