“Everyone did it (and harder stuff) in the 70s and 80s and most came out fine”
That’s a lie and thosae that did aren’t fine!
Anyone that uses it belongs in prison!
How so? I'm pretty amazed by the number of Conservatives that share your opinion.
Yeah, the thing about that is I know what I’m talking about here because of people I know (and where I went to college).
I also know that we are talking about things that were all legal in this country until the advent of modern medicine. I’m not advocating the use of it, however, the well-performing college student that uses pot is no threat to me. The drug dealer who might affiliate with a gang because they can only get it through illegal means could be.
All of this crap used to be in patent medicines and people were able to make legal money off of it, both companies and people running cottage businesses. I can’t see how that would be deleterious to us now, especially considering if we found a way to market a thing like marijuana in this country we could easily dominate the world market and because of who we are, can’t just be pushed around by other countries into not doing it.
