Yes. What you put into your own body is your own responsibility. By the same token, 'society' should have no obligation to shield you from the results of any addiction.
1. Advocating for Canadians gunning down Americans.
In this case, yes. Extradition should be reserved for real crimes. If we bully a friendly government into yanking people out of hospitals for smoking pot, how much help from the Canadians can we expect next time we need to retrieve a serial killer?
"Yes. What you put into your own body is your own responsibility."
Too many anti-prohibitionists agreeing that smoking should be unlawful does not exactly win me over to this line of reasoning!
1. "Advocating for Canadians gunning down Americans."
"In this case, yes."
Thats Treason, anyway you carve that turkey!
"Extradition should be reserved for real crimes."
Interstate Flight to Avoid Prosecution is a legislated law, passed and signed. It is a Federal crime...REAL crime!
"If we bully a friendly government into yanking people out of hospitals for smoking pot..."
1. "was yanked from a hospital BY CANADIAN AUTHORITIES, driven to the U.S. border with a catheter still attached, and turned over to U.S. officials"
There is NOTHING in the article that would lend credibility to your claim that we 'bullied' Canadians.
We have an extradition treaty with Canada that BOTH countries signed.
And again... he wasn't yanked out of the hospital for 'smoking pot' but for Interstate Flight to Aviod Prosecution... a real crime.
