Yes, alcohol keeps getting mixed with the weed and other drugs in tons of crimes.
Based on what we ALREADY deal with regarding alcohol, it would be stupid to in addition add other substances to the OK list.
The genie is already out of the bottle on alcohol and as we learned (as you have said) from that, we shouldn’t find other stupid things to legalize.
Bill bradley said, many years ago that if you think we have a crack baby problem now, just wait ‘till we legalize drugs.
My response: Freedom has a price.
Freedom trumps security. It is “for the children” that is the battle cry of those who would create (are creating, actually) a rubber padded world.
“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good
of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live
under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may
at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good
will torment us without end for they do so with the approval
of their own conscience.” - C. S. Lewis
In a nutshell, my kids are none of their business and their kids are none of my business.
