Marijuana isn't just about "plants" and "freedom." It has some very serious psychological effects and societal consequences upon people -- especially those in the formative years between 18 and 25, and heightened concern among those who are younger.

And it isn't just about "evil" government taking away Libertarian freedoms or your attempt to equate marijuana with alcohol. Take a look where it is relatively cheap and its possession is not criminalized. Jamaica comes to mind.

Marijuana isn't just about "plants" and "freedom."

Sure it is. Freedom means that other people might make choices you don't like. I still like freedom.

So does ritalin. So do alcohol and tobacco, even more so than marijuana.

Do you approve of alcohol being legal?

your attempt to equate marijuana with alcohol.

Not at all. I think alcohol is much more dangerous than marijuana.

But I'm an adult, and I choose when to consume alcohol. I don't support kicking down the doors of beer drinkers and shooting their dogs. I'm sorry that you support doing that to marijuana users.

It must be nice to accept everything the government feeds you. Some of you people make me sigh softly and shake my head.
