    you are NOT arguing the same thing:

    • you making it through an intersection at a red light requires luck. you need to get lucky, every time, or someone fucking dies. a dead person is a fucking victim, therefore it’s not a “victimless crime”

    • weed can’t kill you. that’s why it’s a victimless crime. in extremely rare cases it can cause mental health problems, but only in the person taking it.

    the difference is that in one case YOU are responsible for harming someone else, in the other case they did it to themselves AND it’s extremely rare AND it’s not based on random luck.

    these situations are not even close to being the same thing.
