“More than one-third of participants felt that daily smoking of cannabis was safer than tobacco, and their views increasingly favored safety of cannabis vs tobacco over time (1742 participants [36.7%] in 2017 vs 2107 participants [44.3%] in 2021; P < .001)”

Yeah, it doesn't mean much but it should mean something for legalization. Supposedly the beliefs of the people are what matters (we all know this isn't true), so if people think it's safer than tobacco then either tobacco should be illegal or weed should be legal.

It's definitely safer to society than alcohol. As long as that's legal, many other drugs should be as well.
