I think the stuff is a bad idea.
I also think the federal government really has no business making a weed illegal.

What I really want is for the government to get out of the charity business. No welfare. No food stamps. No assisted housing. You’re on your own. If you can build a solid life for yourself while using drugs, that’s fine. No problem at all. But if everything falls apart for you, don’t come crying to me and demand that I fund some “programs” for you.

Why do so many conservative people ignore pot?

Because they will keep their offspring away from it.

That means their offspring will get the better jobs and mates.

Pot smokers?

The hell with them. Let them rot. Let them sell French fries.

"I think the stuff is a bad idea."

Sure, you do.

"I also think the federal government really has no business making a weed illegal."

Yeah, right. That's your real concern. Uh-huh.

"What I really want is for the government to get out of the charity business. No welfare. No food stamps. No assisted housing. You’re on your own. If you can build a solid life for yourself while using drugs, that’s fine. No problem at all. But if everything falls apart for you, don’t come crying to me and demand that I fund some 'programs' for you."

Except that you know that the government doesn't beg us for the money. The increasingly socialist government takes the money from the American people by threat of force. The government continues more towards socialism, because marijuana turns minds towards dishonesty and towards the left.
