Again, you are assuming people are smoking it and therefore harming their health over a long period of time. However, once again, you simply ignore that fact that when vaporized or ingested there are pretty much no adverse health effects.
But even then your argument topples like a house of cards. What if I said that I'm sick of my tax dollars going to treat alcoholics with liver disease? Alcohol should be illegal! Or if I was sick of my tax dollars paying for fat people that get heart attacks? Fatty foods should be illegal! Or that cigarette smokers are taking my tax dollars with their lung cancer? Tobacco should be illegal!
My argument does not fail. All those things you mentioned I have an issue with. Rather than rewrite all the laws, I'll just prefer not to add more to the list. In a perfect world, you are grouped by risk factors and charged accordingly. Hangovers are a built in component to alcohol that prevent most people from drinking excessively for many years, but I imagine people could roll a joint or two every night with no dehibilitating effects which would increase risks of related diseases. Like prescription pills, it's much easier to self medicate with legalized pot.
And your vaporizing argument is lame. You know full well probably like 95% users smoke it the majority of the time. I don't know about vaporizing, but it takes more to get high from ingesting in food and most people won't spend that extra money.
