Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Drugs, in general, should be regulated according to public health and safety.
And there's no compelling public health or safety case for cannabis prohibition.
Private car ownership should probably be abolished tbh
It should.
If I were crafting drug policy I'd track consumption and intervene in the lives of problem users. A person smoking enough to hurt their lungs is an extremely heavy user and there might be something wrong. Do they not care if they live or die? Are they self medicating to escape some kind of trauma? Are they just ignorant of the dangers?
As for driving, I think we need to get cars off the road ASAP; robust public transportation infrastructure, reduced commute distances, and robust pedestrian and cycling infrastructure is critical for our survival. That really has to be among the first goals.
