My body, on the other hand, is not public property. I should be able to decide what the rules are for my own body. Not you.

You live in area with the public where the public have written the laws we are to all live by (called a civilization).

I think you have the perfect attitude for someone who wishes to live in a private island, but if you want to live in a populated area, you are going to be more so limited by the laws governing the populated areas.

Seems I see druggies all the time accessing shared resources because of their behavior that they can't pay for, like rehab centers, hospitals and public burials.

I really hate that sort of argument because it gives people an easy excuse to play dictator and that's bullcrap.

We are all living on private islands to a degree. The most private is our own body. Then our homes. Then our towns. Then our cities. Then our states.

They all have their own rules.

You want nationalize all those private places and declare them all one giant public place that you can regulate and control.

Fact is, many cities in CA would like to legalize pot, and that's their right. People from other places should just mind their own damn business.
