I think most people, even outside Lemmy, are in favor of legalization. There's just a lot of old people in charge of the laws who are against it because of years of "Reefer Madness" propaganda crap.
Like, Ohio had a ballot initiative not long ago to legalize it recreationally and, after it passed, their legislature tried to knee-cap it (unsuccessfully, I believe).
Downvoting because I agree.
So sick of it being shoved into everything, all the hype about it, and all the drivel it spits out.
The only reason that's the case is because OpenAI had something people ooh'd, ahh'd, clapped, and threw money at and all the other tech companies said "me too!" and threw their half-baked abominations into everything in order to suck up that sweet, sweet training data.
