True. What’s that have to do with adults smoking pot?
I noticed that redefinition of marriage wasn’t brought up. A lot of people say, “I think the government should just get out of marriage, period. “You hear that a lot. I can’t get my mind around how it’s supposed to work.
As far as things like marijuana and gambling go, I hope that these wouldn’t be ploys to attract a younger demographic to the party. These things seldom go well. If a candidate or politician actually has a principled case for the position, then state it. If things are bumped down to the state level, and some certainly should be, then politicians at that level will have to deal with them. Those people, state legislators, for example, have party affiliation. So whatever it is will still become associated with one party of another.

................
I was in the first generation of pot smokers at my high school back in 1970. It came through one summer. There was a big cultural change. Suddenly half the school kids were smoking pot.
I don’t know how it was in the 1990’s.
But these days the kids at my old high school are back to smoking pot again.
It did me no good in the 1970’s. It took me two decades to kick the stuff and beer and cigarettes and such. Those days are lost to me.
I regret the time I wasted on cheap thrills.
Pot will do the newest generation of pot smokers no good.
My desire to keep the laws firmly set against pot smoking is just a desire for younger folk not to make the same mistakes I made.
Do you draw the line of illegality at heroin? Or cocaine? Or LSD? Or Mescaline? Or crack? Or are those ok too.
This is an important question. Once you redraw the line in the sand. It make the new line even tougher to hold.
For example, the liberals have all but normalized homosexual marriage. Next up is polygamy. Are you ok with polygamy?
