It is implied by your opposition to the argument that cannabis should
be less strictly regulated than alcohol because alcohol use involves
greater healthrisks. It follows from that argument that either alcohol
should be prohibited like cannabis for everybody (given that some
people damage their health by abusing alcohol) or cannabis should be
legal for adults similar to how alcohol is freely available to adults,
despite the obvious risks (not just the risks associated with alcohol
use, but to a lesser degree also the risks associated with cannabis
use).
Anybody who disagrees with that is a hypocrite for condoning a more
harmful drug like alcohol while condemning a less harmful drug like
cannabis.
Adults can enjoy alcohol freely but they are being criminalized for
using cannabis (whether in addition to alcohol or in substitution of
alcohol), this is the status quo and anyone who agrees with that is a
hypocrite.
The legislative bias against cannabis and in favor alcohol is an
example of unfair and irrational legislation, similar to
how for instance racial segregation laws in the past were unfair and
irrational.
Wouldn't you agree that anyone who accepts, supports or advocates
racial segregation laws, is a racist, whether they acknowledge it or
not?

I assume you agree that the healthrisks associated with cannabis are
not as grave as those associated with alcohol.
I don't think there is anyone in uk.politics.drugs that would disagree
with that. At least I don't recall ever reading anything from you
where you seemed to deny that or imply otherwise.

Are you in favor of prohibiting alcohol?
Are you opposed to regulating cannabis in a similar fashion to
alcohol?

Can you answer those two simple questions and acknowledge that if you
answer both with no, it implies a hypocritical position regarding the
legality (regulation) of alcohol and cannabis and how it correlates
with the healthrisks associated  with those drugs?
