The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration will move to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug, a historic shift to generations of American drug policy that could have wide ripple-effects across the country.
Marijuana has been used by humans for just as long, if not longer:
Cannabis was attested to around 12 000 years ago near the Altai Mountains in Central Asia, and since then, cannabis seeds have accompanied the migration of nomadic peoples. Records of the medicinal use of cannabis appear before the Common Era in China, Egypt, and Greece (Herodotus), and later in the Roman empire (Pliny the Elder, Dioscorides, Galen). In the 19th century, orientalists like Silvestre de Sacy, and Western physicians coming into contact with Muslim and Indian cultures, like O’Shaughnessy and Moreau de Tours, introduced the medicinal use of cannabis into Europe.
Sigh. Age is not the same as extensive use. We’ve been brewing copious amounts of alcohol for an extremely long time. With dare I say near 100% of the population drinking. Ciao.
Alcohol has been part of society for a very long time, it gets exemptions.

Not to the same extent or in the same way.
That’s just not true, especially for non-european cultures. As the study I linked shows.

Evidence to support your claim? Kinda bold to be so arrogant and dismissive of the other person’s point when you failed to provide a countering study.
Arrivederci.
The shit that happens when you have an exclusively eurocentric history education.
Edit: which isn’t even that good of an excuse. Even Herodotus’ Histories mentions pot use
It helps when you misapply the effects of heroin as the effects of THC. Reefer Madness is a trip.
