It is outlaw because you can't have riots if everyone is high.

Look at the transition of past Hippies to now violent Leftie protests.

You're stating that stoned people are not violent so weed should be allowed? I know it's 'just a fact' but a lot of hippies from back in the day are not 'lefties' now. By the way, for people who were in their twenties in the seventies, they look remarkably young now they're engaged in 'Leftie protests'.

Generally, yes. Although back then weed was also way less potent than it is today. If we go by hippy timeline standards where the drug was circulating, then yea. As most of it was already aged to the point to have low TMC chemical levels which were enough to serve as relaxants.

Higher dosages of TMC have been said to lead to more aggressive behavior/paranoia.

But I mean, anything in high dosage is bad for you. That is why liquor only comes to a certain percentage as higher percentages will mess the body up, if not outright kill you.

THC* Not TMC. Shame there is no edit button.

Didn't stop them from getting high and peacefully protesting while stoned.

The only reason it was cracked down was around Nixon's time when he did the War on Drugs. At that point from that and with the Vietnam War coming to end, Hippies kinda just waned off during later 70s and vanished altogether for the most part 80s and onwards.
