what were we talking about?
Look. Kids are getting f'd up on paint, gasoline, and glue. This stuff is cheap and available and REALLY does do brain damage in the near and long term. Now, we can't really make those substances illegal right? But we make it illegal to grow a non-physically addictive weed whose mild effects include increased appetite and a euphoric feeling. Never heard of anyone smoking a joint and committing acts of violence, they usually at worst become paranoid and fall asleep at high doses. Why not legalize it and put it in the same class as alcohol, which IS an addictive drug associated with violence and which in large quantities is a lethal poison? Simply make it a major felony to sell either substance to minors, and increase penalties for driving while intoxicated. Tax it, use taxes for rehabs and substance abuse education. Anyone see the logic here?
