“Vancouver lets you smoke. So does Amsterdam. And Colorado.
No further need to bitch about legalizing it nationally if that’s your barometer.”
What are you talking about? You asked me about cigarettes and alcohol, and now you want to apply my response to illegal drugs, in some kind of bait and switch?
You’re also mischaracterizing the status of drugs in those places. Federally scheduled drugs are not legal in any of them, even the foreign countries you mentioned.
Bitching and moaning about pot being illegal while these are not. If you are okay with heavy restrictions on the sale of tobacco and alcohol (in essence, I’ll leave rather than change those laws) you can do the same over pot, etc.
