That's the conservative position.
It's comforting to know you will never be my neighbor.
There's a good sporting chance some of your neighbors already smoke pot.
Man, that Darwin guy was really on to something.
Nobody ever died from the proximate cause of smoking too much pot (unlike the toxic legal drug alcohol).
No one ever died from pornography or gambling but both have damaging consequences to the primary consumer and third parties in families and households.
The consequences of easy alcohol is probably many times worse to the first and third parties, when viewed over the volume of a nation of consumers.
Marijuana has its own particular damaging effects, distinct from alcohol, and it will likely never be consumed as widely as alcohol, but like alcohol, it has NO positive effects which merit its societal and legal acceptance, as its negative effects are so extensive.
By the way, pot CAN cause death by secondary effect (automobile crashes, small children consumption???) as does alcohol.
No it isn't, that is the "let's destroy society because we only have our own short little lifetime of experience to call on" Libertarian position.
There is nothing conservative about introducing a poison into society.
There's a good sporting chance some of your neighbors already smoke pot.
Sure, the lazy ones which we all get to support with welfare money.
Look, smoke your weed, wash my car (leave my change alone), deliver pizza to my kids...I can assure you NONE of my neighbors smoke that silly a$$ $hit — We are men, men that have served honorably and have never seen any wisdom in smoking that $hit, you are just going to have to trust me on that one.
So you window licking short bus riders smoke your $hit and work your pathetic no brain required jobs, because either you or illegals will have to do it.
Another positive note, at least if you are smoking pot you won’t have enough enthusiasm to hump anything and get it pregnant, so that is a good thing.
I know I won’t be competing with you in the grown up job market so that is another good thing.
Smoke up!
Nothing but upside for me if you are smoking weed...
