Well that's only natural because you're just a random idiot.

People would smuggle chocolate bars if they were made illegal, that doesn't make them harmful.

So far the Singaporean government has killed a lot more people than cannabis ever did, and for what?

A plant that drives someone to do that doesnt sound so harmless to me.

Everywhere that has legalized weed had this same bullshit scaremongering about how cars are going to be running over schoolchildren every 5 seconds because everyone would just be driving around high all the time.

That hasn’t happened at all, so why do you still make the bullshit claim?

Weed + cars doesn't seem to be a big problem in a state where legal weed is everywhere unlike alcohol.

A great deal of alcohol is consumed out late at night in places one is likely to drive to and from. Almost all accidents happen to people who are plastered not least of which because drunk people get increasingly confident and simultaneously incapable of judging their ability.

Worse drunk people even quite drunk people can reasonably pilot a car which is why most DUIs are given only after hundreds miles of drunk drinking.

People's false confidence is rewarded right up until they go to jail or kill someone.

Weed rarely produces the degree of impairment and when it does you aren't going anywhere. Also since there are no legal venues to smoke it you are most commonly at home

have such hubris that they believe those averse effect only affect others

TBF there is a lot of variability in how cannabis affects different people. I’ve got a friend who had to quit because it made him extremely paranoid, to the point that he’d hallucinate. That isn’t universal by a long shot. I haven’t experienced paranoia or hallucinations, the biggest side effect I’ve experienced is sleepiness. Meanwhile my friend found it harder to sleep while high because his brain kept playing tricks on him. Very different brains, very different results.

Though I don’t doubt that plenty of people misjudge their abilities while high, just as they misjudge their abilities when drunk. But it’s important to note that it isn’t necessarily hubris that makes a person say, “Weed doesn’t do that to me.” Some of us genuinely experience different effects. You can’t truly know what’s going on in someone’s head unless you’re the one living in it.

so why isn't insomnia punishable by death or otherwise? That would potentially lead someone to crash a car too.

While one should avoid getting executed, it's also fucked up that country does it

Never respect a murderous society, it's stupid.

Fine people for conventions, sure. You don't see any mena country straight up executing women for not wearing a hijab, despite their claims that it erodes 'morality'.
