Making Marijuana and other drugs legal does have some benefits

It's STUPID idea that will increase the number of losers smoking pot, increase the number of potheads that negligently kill and harm others, increase all drug usage, drug trafficking and a crime.

Liberaltarians are in many as stupid as liberals.

You are stupid in making that assumption. Just do a little home work and study the crime patterns in countries that have made pot legal and you will find there is no increase in crime.

Besides, can you name me ONE pot addict who can not obtain it on the street illegally?

Regardless of whether you think it's "stupid" or not, you need to remember that we live in a constitutional federal republic, & that the 10th Amendment recognizes the fact that this issue should be left to the states * to the People. We musn't forget the 9th Amendment, either.

“It’s STUPID idea that will increase the number of losers smoking pot..”

So you place little value on personal freedom, a cornerstone of our country’s founding?

I have always thought my freedom was supposed to go as far as impacting the freedom of the next person. I was taught that by my Western US type conservative parents. Think Barry Goldwater and Milton Friedman; both of whom inspired Ronald Reagan.

One man sits home, and has a couple of whiskeys.

Next man has few beers, or wine.

Yet their neighbor might toke half a joint.

All doze off in their easy chairs, with the TV playing.

Harm to society? Societal justification to regulate, criminalize, tax, etc?
