A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Wouldn't it be nice if instead of just bars with alcohol, there were establishments for people to consume cannabis while eating, playing board games, and socializing? (lemmy.world)

If anything, cannabis seems like a much better (and more profitable) drug around which to build a leisurely establishment.

Well if that is what you want then your inconsistent with what you ask for.

You see for the last years the consumption of alcohol, tobbaco, sugar, fat, etc. have been publicly "exposed" and criticised in campaigns, programs to discourage consumption have been publicly funded, restrictions regarding comercials, comercialisation and consumption have been gradually put in place and so on.

So actually the legalisation of weed consumption in various degrees is inconsistent with all the public health policies in place right now which tend to be more and more restrictive with unhealthy substances consumption. Just saying.

And how is my argument that we should regulate public consumption of addictive substances consistently contradictory to what you are arguing?

All I know is that I lost a good friend to alcohol induced liver failure, while I have a 3 year old cousin that takes marajana to prevent seizures. Both have the ability to be abused, both have medical applications, but only one is illegal.

Meth and heroin should have consumption venues and dedicated bars also?

You have to make up your mind, what are you speaking about: medical use, recreational use or what?

The consumption of weed per se because you like it or the consumption of derivate medical compounds (like CBD based treatments for child seizures)?
