Also, Porn is already legal.* And it is already accepted by large portions of the population.
Making porn more acceptable doesn't end the rape problem.
You severely missed the point. The comparison was between the relatively lack of outcry over cannabis smokers who presumably enable atrocities carried out by drug cartels in Colombia and elsewhere.
Is the point; most things have an undesirable aspect that is disregarded by the consumer?
It's best to avoid analogy when the analogy isn't true.
surely you jest. are you unaware of the violence, death, and suffering created by the black markets from illegal drugs?
the comparison is very apt: keeping porn "in the dark" allows for a generally underadvantaged population like sex workers to be taken advantage of because there is not an abundance of legal, regulated institutions for them to be a part of. similarly, illegal drugs proliferate in dangerous circumstances because there is no other option.
Cannabis wasn't grown in Colombia until very recently; cocaine has always been it's primary drug export, and unlike cannabis, cocaine has not been legal in the U.S. (or most of the West) during the lifetime of anyone alive today.
If you had said cocaine from the beginning I might have agreed with your sentiment if not the specific details, because porn has enabled sex trafficking and CP and other heinous crimes.
But you clearly meant cannabis, not cocaine, and so your statement doesn't make any sense.
The major studios are a small part of the problem, however, it's the non-U.S. and underground scene that generates most of the problematic content.
