A government that can control what you eat can control who you have sex with.
So, let’s eat our meat baked in a pot pie!
Methinks the author’s thought process is clouded by cannabis
Say, here’s a thought:
Why not just leave people free to make their own decisions
without the nanny state running their lives?
Mega Dittos!
Cannabis is damaging in that people whose brains are damaged to the point where they are incapable of caring for themselves become a burden on society. On the other hand, what in the world is the "social harm" of eating the way we evolved to eat? Can the author of this piece even explain that without falling back on vague claims of "climate change"?
Before anyone answers "the Commerce clause" (which is technically the mechanism through which most federal drug regulation springs...more on that later), keep in mind our predecessors had to pass the 18th Amendment to prohibit the manufacture, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages nationally...AND THEN pass the 23rd Amendment to repeal Prohibition.
The Commerce Clause is undoubtedly one of the, if not THE, most abused and twisted legal vehicle when it comes to federal overreach. People who correctly cherish the Rule of Law rightly rail against such abuse, while statists and Dems/libs LOVE it.
Furthermore, if someone's WANTED to regulate what you eat via federal legislation (again..a power not found in the Constitution) I can promise you, it's be through the CC.
Therefore, if anyone supports federal regulation of cannibus without a Constitutional Amendment vis-à-vis the Commerce Clause, the rightful response is "Et tu, Brute?" Congratulations...you are a philosophical cousin of Nancy Pelosi, Hillary, Obama, the New Deal, the left wing of SCOTUS, Obamacare-lovers, and pretty much every two-bit left wing/Dem since the 1930s who tried to regulate away the right to keep and bear arms.
...and I hope you LOVE tofu.
These are the kind of people who want to ban Happy Meals from McDonald’s. Either because they are parents and too weak to say ‘No’ to their children, or because they are too fat and on a diet.
‘Climate Change’: The lie that never ends. The similarities between this and ‘Witchcraft’ are numerous. Cons never give
up the con.
I hear the Chocolate ration is being raised to 20 grams!
Listen, Sherlock, if your aim is having people eat less, legalizing weed is the exact opposite way to get there.
Yes, it does.
Because european law starts from a different foundation than ours. They were a natural for it because kings just morphed into socialist bureaucrats.
Well Sonia. You could be living here in America where we let people smoke the sh*t out of “cannabis” and ban plastic straws. The UK doesn’t own the market on stupidity.
Mentally diseased brain at work.
Realize pushing pot is the most important aspect of the liberal fascist agenda.
“Say, here’s a thought: Why not just leave people free to make their own decisions without the nanny state running their lives? “
Then they couldn’t virtue signal how superior they are.
Meat gives life. Pot doesn’t.
Time for the nanny state to get more radical. We should start by banning altogether things that have literally no function, such as bottled water in a country where it’s actually safer to drink tap water. And take a leaf out of wartime Britain – climate change is no less existential a threat – and ration activities such as flying and eating meat.
"Radical" is right. Climate change is that imaginary monster under your bed that would be life-threatening if only it were real. Using it as an excuse for the government to begin dictating what you can eat, drink, smoke, drive, fly, where you can travel, what recreations you can pursue, what you can read or write or say; all that is justified, just don't call us totalitarians. Sodha may claim her tongue is in her cheek here, but I really don't think so.
Let them eat ???…easy there Adolf.
