Really what about the families torn apart by drug use and addiction. Oh that's correct you don't beleive in the family, they are nothings who get in the way of smoking your dope.

I would feel very bad if my family were torn apart by drug use and addiction. If yours were, however, I wouldn't give a rat's ass, and I certainly wouldn't expect to pay for keeping your kids clean. Are you so bad a parent that you can't be responsible for your own children? You need the feds to help?

Those are societal costs, not legal problems. The actual act of smoking a joint alone does not present a clear and present danger to society. Rape and murder do, because they can not be commited without one person violating the rights of another.

So tell me...do you blame the drunk for not seeking help, and causing problems with his alcohol addiction, or do you blame the "devil booze"? If alcohol causes all these problems, why aren't you campaigning for a New Prohibition?
