Exactly wrong - for most of those ten generations there were no laws against drugs.


I'm not backing down on "anything" I wrote. Period.

Sure, cannabis and opium were all around.

It's just that the people with the "most pivotal" ACCOMPLISHMENTS had the morals (read "horse sense") ...

to NOT be pot heads or opium addicts.

Thomas Jefferson, the Wright Brothers, Thomas Edison, etc, were "not" pot heads.

Did they drink alcohol ? Sure.

But alcohol doesn't "adle the brain" the way that long-term pot smoking does.



People supporting pot "legalization" are delusional.

Drugs like this DESTROY peoples' lives.

Period.

Eventually, when a "critical mass" of a nation's population is rendered incoherent (like voting for dupes like Obama) ...

the nation is FUBAR.

The worst part is that the "Dopers" have a false sense of "entitlement".

The nation is on it's death bed.

Does this sound like America in 2015 ?

Yes.

So don't hand me the "crap" about how legalizing pot is "good" for America, or any other nation that genuinely wishes a successful future.

Do you agree with Ted Cruz that it should be up to the states to decide marijuana legalization, or do you side with fedgov?

Your comments are 100% absolute truth.

TEN generations of Americans worked their asses off ... saved money ... built a nation ... all pretty much in a "no legal drugs" world.

I think you just did back down from your claim that ten generations were 'in a "no legal drugs" world.'

There you go: drugs were legal, individuals were free to choose, and many made the better choice. That's what I advocate.
