He said "only" risk. I consider them separate. Are we really debating the semantics of the plurality of risks in this situation? This thread is hopeless.
I'm saying you just repeated what he said with more words for no reason. Why are we talking about what affects an arrest might cause? It's not related at all.
The only real risks are being arrested for using it, which was the whole point of making it illegal: to arrest you for it.
