That's correct, but we are now in a hypocritical situation. We can't say "history made Nicotine legal, but let's pretend that THC is illegal for good reasons". Yes, there may be good reasons for an individual to not smoke pot, but that doesn't mean there are good reasons for keeping it illegal.

Good, because I didn't say that.

Well, you said that Tobacco is legal due to historical reasons (which implies that it's legal for bad reasons), so I assumed you were implying that THC is illegal for good reasons. I apologize.
