Unfortunately, corrupt politicians and beholding judges have twisted things around.
My only question is...what if they had been drinking alcool or even coffee?? If you condone or accept that, you condone drug use. Then, it becomes a matter of preference. And, if you want to rank them by a "danger index" - pot falls WAAAAY below alchohol, and is MUCH less addictive than nicotine. So..it's probably just misinformed hypocrisy that you believe in (re-read article...or read it for the first time). Funny, you would put a black mark on your sons record in order to uphold the views of the corrupt politicians.
Same as all good fascists. Nazi's did the EXACT same thing.
I'm not upholding the views of corrupt politicians. These are my views, formed from seeing 1st hand the destructive nature of drugs. Each one of the family and friends that I saw destroy themselves started on pot.
As for putting a black mark on my son's record, he did it to himself, he knew the rules, and he knew the consequences he would face if he brought that crap into my house. He also learned a valuble lesson in the process. He is now an E-4 Specialist in the Army, is married and has a little girl. He has told me that what I did in that situation was the best thing that happened to him. He was 19 at the time, half a$$ing his way through Community College, bouncing from one dead end fast food job to another, and hanging out with complete douchebags. He cleaned his act up after this incident, and is better for it. You won't change my mind, and I probably won't change yours, but I'm going to keep doing what I do.
"And, I agree with you. "Drugs are bad". However, this country was founded by folks who realized that we might not all feel the same way. And, therefore, made a bill of rights so that folks such as the Drug Fascists could not legally force their views onto everyone else."
As I said in my previous post, I don't care if you want to do drugs, Just keep it away from me and my family. I will do everything in my power to keep it away from those that I care about. There is no hypocracy in that. As far as I'm concerned, people can stay stoned 24-7 as long as it doesn't affect my family.
Nazi's killed people they didn't like, whereas recreational drugs, their dealers and criminal participants would gladly kill anyone... It's far worse...
The old joke....
Miss, would you sleep with me for One Million dollars?
Yes, I would.
How about $50?
Sir, what do you think I am?
We've already established that Miss, now we are discussing price.
