Going up a ladder and using a car fulfill a practical purpose, and there are numerous safety precautions you can take to minimize the potential risk of an injury. On the contrary, recreational cannabis is explicitly done for fun, and there isn't really a "risk-safe" way of developing schizophrenia due to substance abuse lmao

Do you think we should ban every activity that is as risky as consuming marijuana? If not, why not? Why marijuana and not everything else.

Your use of the word "risky" implies that there's a consequence-free way of doing cannabis. There is not. You will always suffer adverse health effects by doing marijuana.

And to answer your question, no. Because security precautions can be taken to do other fun activities safely. There are no sufficient precautions which would allow you to do marijuana 100% safely.

Should we ban roller coasters? They fulfill no practical purpose, and only add risk of injury.
