Oh, I’m all for legalization. Do what you wish with your own body. Let the courts and cops spend time on other things and keep the state out of yet another part of people’s lives.
I just don’t want society or my taxes to pay for any of the consequences of people’s own choices, whether it be alcohol, weed, or heroin. Sadly, nearly all the pot smokers I know also believe that government should take care of their own, and everybody else’s health-care, housing, their financial state, and most of whatever ails them. How do you propose to fix that??
What do we do about all the hundreds of whacked out druggies outside my office building right now? Euthanize them? That is probably the best solution. Having a doctor and a policeman going around giving these guys lethal injections when they are just lying there mumbling totally works for me.
They cost us thousands of dollars a day hauling them off to emergency when they have their daily psychotic episodes, or when they assault or kill people, or they steal all your stuff and require you to have bars on your windows.
I am personally fine with just killing them when they get to a certain state, but there’s no way these brain dead people don’t crap up everything around them.
