in Washington state the stupid voters just made it legal....not just decriminalized...LEGAL...

we are going to have so many young people affected...so many lives wasted...lives ended because of this...car accidents...work accidents.....

and crime?....we'll have more breakins and more illegal trade....

Why?...why introduce this?....I would have been okay with the charges being a misdemeanor...

we'll have people smoking in their cars driving around without constraint..

People drink and drive. Young people drink and their lives are ruined. Maybe we should ban alcohol. Young people blow off fingers w/fireworks on the fourth of July. Ban fireworks. And holy cow have you seen the size of young people today? Walking heart attacks, some of them. Ban sugary drinks and fatty foods. And who can forget the tragic firearms accidents we read about in the papers? We need to ban guns right now!! FOR THE CHILDREN!!!

Can you see a link here? And the underlying subtext that what matters in a FREE SOCIETY is a balance of personal responsiblility and parental involvement...which has been eroded at an avalanche’s pace with the growth of the NANNY STATE.

We have everything you described now. We must choose between organized crime and drugs, or regulated legal sales of drugs. Reducing use by force of law fails every time, while trashing the 4th amendment.

That whole “freedom” thing sure is frightening, isn’t it?

Why, bad things might happen!

No, no, we need a strong government - one that can protect us from all hazards - even ourselves!

Yes, if it saves just one child, we must crush this entire fad of freedom!

Vee must fight, until ze free welt unter control ist!

Wir werden kaempfen, bis die ROTA PFANNA die WELTFLAGGE ist!

Then we will be safe.

It’s still federally illegal.
