Why isn't this legal yet anywhere globally?

Because some fat cracker jack with stakes in the nylon industry existed almost 100 years ago

It's fully legal in over 2/3rds of North America. Several other countries, and many localities have either legalized or decriminalized it.

It is for sure in much of the US pacific northwest. Just go into any dispensary and ask to see the tinctures.

Barring “hurr durr Big Beer lobby” and “weed banned cuz racism in 60s”, it’s not studied thoroughly yet. For now we know that smoking weed before an individual turns 25 hurts brain development with repercussions still unknown. And I guarantee you kids will be smoking joints since school. Alcohol, due to its effect and withdrawal effects, is too strong of a drug to be used as regularly by a random individual comparing to weed, so please don’t bring it to discussion.

Edit: Oh no, I hurt the Big Weed feelings.
