If we are giving people the right to use certain substances then it stands to reason that addiction ought to be their responsibility. As it stands, that’s not the case. Insofar as WA funds addiction clinics that are funded by Obamacare - what goes on in WA is federal concern. This is why Obamacare is a game changer. If people in Texas are funding treatment centres in WA - then people in Texas have a say as to whether they legalize pot.

Is pot more or less addictive than alcohol? Your argument would justify a nanny state worse than any that exists at present, which has always been my argument against all forms of national health care.

Maybe you should devote your activism to fighting Obamacare instead of trying to facilitate its most authoritarian implications.

Obamacare is authoritarian. It forces people in Texas to pay for healthcare in Washington.

This is why Obamacare has to go. Why do you think the enemy is fighting so hard to keep it? They know because they can pick off stuff like this and load everyone to pay for it.

The same goes for alcohol treatment as well. Last I checked ‘medical’ alcohol wasn’t being given to people.
