If you can't see that difference, I can't help you.

“The difference between murder and cannabis use is that murder is using force against another. Cannabis use is voluntary.”
Well put. Also, cannabis doesn’t kill people.
The difference between murder and cannabis use is that murder is using force against another. Cannabis use is voluntary.
Yeah, well whomever smokes the weed, smoke it outside my house or whatever other indoor place where myself and whomever else shares the air without dispersion.
Yeah, but Cenk gives the weak logical point that because the law isn’t followed, we should get rid of it. That’s rediculous logic by itself.
He would do better to argue that if we treated marijuana with the same restrictions as smoking tobacco (keep it outdoors, don’t start some fire with a misplaced joint, put your ash in the right place, etc.) it’s not really a problem.
He could also simply argue that there are about over 100 times as many accidents from someone driving over the legal limit for alcohol as from someone who was stoned.
But his argument that because people break a law makes it not worthwhile is rediculous. Give it more substance than that, because just about every law gets broken by someone, but we keep most of them up and running.
I agree with another poster here that we should leave substance legalization/illegalization of drugs up to the states and not the feds, it makes a lot more sense to let them handle it out themselves, plus it’s also more in line with the constitution.
