The majority, working within the framework of constitutional laws.
We, as a society, decide which rights we will protect, bearing in mind that protecting a right places a burden on society -- everything from enforcement and incarceration of those who violate your right to the consequences of your freedom to exercise that right.
We choose not to protect your right to do drugs. If and when a majority of the people decide that we should, then we will. Given that we're a self-governing nation, there's nothing to stop the majority from deciding this.
"Every society has a right to fix the fundamental principles of its association, and to say to all individuals, that if they contemplate pursuits beyond the limits of these principles and involving dangers which the society chooses to avoid, they must go somewhere else for their exercise; that we want no citizens, and still less ephemeral and pseudo-citizens, on such terms. We may exclude them from our territory, as we do persons infected with disease."
-- Thomas Jefferson to William H. Crawford, 1816
Paulsen posts his version of the Communitarian Manifesto.
Your post is good as long as you assume government is not misinforming us, which is unfortunately not the case...I am an ex pot user we could say, i am just tired of doing it, and i have read what your government is telling about that evil pot and i can tell you there's a lot of BS, and a LOT! Those advertisment against weed are also BS, if you are interested (as you look like an intellignet person) just ask me... Our advertisement in canada "against" drug alchool and gambling are proposed this way: "some choices may lead nowhere, make the right ones" this is I believe a lil more "Freedom thinking"... They are not dictating us what to do with subjective propaganda...and so here we want to legalize but we cannnot put it in the list because of what country you think???
Guys wake up!
