I love reading your posts. They don’t much farther your position, but you doubletalk as well as any politician I’ve ever seen.

It’s a fact. A lot of people in Texas smoke dope. A lot of people everywhere smoke dope.

Weed being illegal hasn’t stopped people from smoking dope.
Will more people smoke dope if it’s legal? Probably.
Will more people smoke dope if it remains illegal? Probably.

Will some people go on to abuse meth and wreck their lives? Yes.
Will some people abuse cheeseburgers and pound cake and go on to wreck their lives yes.

Should that be the governments lookout? No.

Now let us endeavor to persevere lol.

My position is hopeless and I am a tiny voice crying in the wilderness. The herd is moving relentlessly towards it's own destruction, and there will be little I can say or do to prevent it. This drug issue is just one more manifestation of the societal rot currently eating the nation. The end result is predictable.

Why do I bother? Well if you lived during the time when the Nazis were slowly gaining strength, wouldn't you want to say you stood in opposition to them rather than just rolled over? You fight for what is right, even though you know you will be eventually overwhelmed anyway.

Should that be the governments lookout? No.

And that is the opinion of someone with the experience and lifespan of a man. History is larger, and this idea has already been tried. A second experiment will work out much like the first.
