Does it really matter? Is alcohol safe? Are most medications safe?

Breathing is not safe either. Living on earth as well; small rocks from outerspace have created mass extinctions over and over.

The universe isn't safe and I don't want to be safe; I want to be happy. You know what doesn't make me happy? The possibility of going to jail over something that hurts nobody.

So take your safe space and put it in that spot in your mind that is labeled "wishful thinking".

Edit: Note that anyone that is trying to argue the point of the article with me is missing out the point: it doesn't matter if it is safe or not, it is my choice to do it. Just like it would be my choice to take my own life away. Or to get an abortion (if I was a woman). It is not up to you, government, or society to tell me what I can or cannot do with my own body and whether I should feel bad about it or not.

So yeah, while you can argue whether it is safe or not, it doesn't really matter. Going to jail is definitely less safe than smoking pot.
