Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

If you're against legalizing marijuana then you have to be for banning alcohol (self.unpopularopinion)

If the argument is that marijuana is bad for health and it should be illegal, then with the same logic, alcohol should be illegal because it's also bad for health.

I absolutely agree but because of selfish reasons - I'm so tired of smelling marijuana smoke on park walks. I'm so tired of smelling cigarrette in the streets. I'm so tired of drunk people being stupid and framing alcohol as something cool and the only way to socialize.

thankfully public intoxication (drunkenness) is illegal. Hopefully someday marijuana and cigarette smoke and fumes will be illegal in public also. Even when I'm driving I can smell this from drivers in cars all around me and it gets into my vehicle and it's ridiculous.
