Because I really dislike pot heads. I dislike the way they live, the way they talk, the way they smell, the way they look, the current cost to society, the whole nine yards.
BUT (pay attention here) I find no legitimate reason that the product can be banned. As someone up thread said, people have a right to be stupid.
So as I said earlier, I'm all for leaglizing it if I don't have to pay any of the cost. Someone ruins their health by smoking it, they pay the cost. No insurance, no government assistance, nothing. Someone gets high and wrecks their car (I'v eseen it happen back in college), they pay the entire cost, no insurance, no government assistance, nothing. (BTW I feel the same about tobacco use, alcohol use, driving withour seatbelts, riding a motorcycle without a helmet etc etc etc. You choose to be stupid, you pay the cost)
The bottom line is these people can be stupid as long as they don't impact anyone else.
Suppose CO votes to legalize mj this election. Do you support its Tenth Amendment authority to do so without fedgov interference, even though the welfare state remains intact?
