It is funny how these leftists demand no cigarette smoking and vilify it at every chance they get....yet they glorify marijuana when the smoke is more toxic to the lungs.
Marxism has no logic....it makes evil good good, evil....everything is relative. They don’t care about the “children”....they want addicts and dysfunctional people who need government to take care of them.
If we had no welfare state...then fine, have no laws against marijuana...BUT since we DO have government interference in all aspects of life we can’t legalize it because then they do not suffer the consequence for their actions.
It is like the welfare queen....we pay women to have babies out of wedlock so Voila!! we get lots of it.
We legalize drug use and have government subsidize the losers...and Voila...we will get a lot of the dysfunctional addicted behavior....and a lot of the college kids I talked to who smoked marijuana said it made them lazy and they would skip classes or work etc.
Wow—how far from the Horatio Algers type who formed Reagan’s worldview.
Now we have dysfunctional, lazy people forming the worldview of our future generation....Great!
So, since we do have a 1984-style, Big Brother and/or Nanny State constantly infringing upon our freedoms "for our own good," rather than changing THAT, you would rather accept blatantly unfair, heavy-handed, INEFFECTIVE anti-drug laws?

Ad Hominem Fallacy! I, a dyed-in-the-wool Conservative who thinks that it should be allowed to carry hunting rifles openly, etc., assert that marijuana is perhaps as "evil" as nicotine, or as dangerous as even alcohol... But that we should revert to the situation we had in the late-19th century, when it was NOT illegal to grow, possess, and smoke hemp. Heck: It is well documented that both Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were hemp farmers (though it is not recorded how often they "lit up").
Regards,
What you are saying is that you accept the welfare state we have.
“We legalize drug use and have government subsidize the losers ...”
I’d agree it is either/or, but why not fight for eliminating the government subsidy of losers rather than against individual freedoms ? Let these people be stoned and starve to death so they delete their weak genes for the gene pool.
