“The difference between murder and cannabis use is that murder is using force against another. Cannabis use is voluntary.”
Well put. Also, cannabis doesn’t kill people.
But Nanny Staters who wish to control other’s lives are ready and willing to kill freedom and liberty.
But I am a stickler for logic.
It's easy to see why murder was banned. It's not so easy to find out exactly why cannabis was banned 70-odd years ago.

I wouldn’t have criticized Cenk if he had argued that smoking pot should be legalized because it’s a voluntary act that basically only affects the person who uses it. But his argument that it should be legal because people continue to violate the law against it makes no sense, and I was just making the reductio ad absurdum illustration.
