Sorry I wasn't alive in the 60s. I'm 36, married to a woman, and am a father of three (including one with Downs Syndrome).
We are pro life, pro Second Amendment, pro biblical marriage, libertarian minded (but hold our nose GOP voting) conservatives.
I just stated my opinion based on real world observations with regard to marijuana. In my view it is just a matter of which evil one prefers to live with.
Live with a legally regulated marijuana industry, or spend billions fighting a never ending and losing “war” that is working about as well as prohibition did (again I wasn't alive for those debates either).
This country got along just fine in the 1800s before the regulating of inanimate objects became a pretext for massive government expansion.
I don't think marijuana is good for people.
I also don't think a police state (which has become increasingly militarized) is good for liberty.
We are evangelical Christians and I'm anything but a leftist.
Please disagree with me if you like about this issue, but don't throw me in the trash by associating me with a movement I wasn't alive for.
I've always been able to disagree with people on this forum without it getting ugly and I'd prefer to keep it that way.
God bless you and FR.
