I don’t make the “gateway” argument. Once you start smoking pot, you’re already way past the gate. Pot is in and of itself totally destructive.

Unlike someone who has a martini on the weekend, pot users are demonstrably impaired the rest of the week. Ever work with a pot smoker? Whatever their job, they suck at it. They’re slow of speech because they’re slow of thought. They literally stink, even if they bathe.

Reputable doctors recognize the “medical pot” argument is completely bogus. Pot for cancer is like giving a shot of whiskey to a gunshot victim — sure, if that’s all you got. But modern painkillers are 10,000 times more effective than pot.

Schizophrenia and pot are linked. That’s reason enough to ban it.

Pot is evil, evil, evil, and no decent society should permit it — just like no decent society permits suicide.

Are you willing to trash the Constitution to have the Feds involved in that?

This is pure unadulterated BS. I guarantee you that, for every stinking hippie pothead you've met in the workplace, there are four or five pot users who function so well that you don't even realize they smoke pot. How do I know this? Because I know a bunch of pot smokers who are successful professionals. They just don't go around telling everyone they smoke pot, for obvious reasons.

I swear, all this reefer madness hysteria is probably just government propaganda to get otherwise sane people to accept and support the unconstitutional police state that the War on Drugs has created. But, even if pot were such a horrible drug, the real question is, does the government, especially the fedgov, have the authority to dictate to individuals whether they can grow it or smoke it? Because if you say that they do, then you are saying that they have unlimited power over ALL OF US. If Michelle Obama wants to outlaw french fries, you are saying she is completely within her rights to do so (with complicity of Congress, of course).
