You call anyone “Pothead” who disagrees with you. That’s why I responded with “Drug Nazi”, to illustrate the point, which evidently was not recognized. For the record, let me state I’ve never smoked anything, mj or regular cigarette, and have no desire to do so. But I 1000% support the individual’s right to do so if they choose.

An aside funny story...Many years ago, entering the college dorm for the first time, I remarked: “What is that awful smell?” I was told it was incense, to which I responded “Why would anyone deliberately burn that and have to smell that horrible smell?” Of course, I was thus informed it masked the mj odor. It struck me as yucky then as it does today.

The example you cite to support mj laws, about people dying due to the accident attributed to mj by the person who caused it, makes little sense.

People die from drinking too much alcohol. Do you support Prohibition?

People die from auto accidents. Do you support making cars illegal?

People die from knives. Do you support making knives illegal?

People die from many many causes. Should we make illegal all of them, and live in 100% tyranny?

Or, should we strive to make our society a “deeply religious and moral” one where personal responsibility causes self-discipline.

Recognize that accidents happen in all walks of life, and should not be used as an excuse to replace individual liberty with gov’t tyranny.

A pothead driving his car at me and my family is not “individual liberty”.

Drug Warriors refuse to understand.
