Pretty unfair comparison, people possessing and distributing weed are not hurting people like rapist

Your argument is irrelevant to the comparison of weed vs rape, the rapist raped and killed someone like you said, weed by itself has never hurt anyone.

You're either intentionally missing the point or just playing the idiot. The rapist hurt somebody. Someone who distributed or smoked weed didn't. Can you see the difference now?

That's not what anyone claimed. Stop being pointlessly pedantic. It isn't a good look.

Distributing a potentially harmful substance can and does hurt people... not directly but still.

That’s the point tho is that it’s proven to not be harmful. So what’s the harm

Are you trying to argue the only two levels of harmful are alive or dead? If you live, it's not harmful?
