“We’ll never know because no one ever comes forward and says “I would have done that except it was against the law.”
If marijuana was legal, I’d smoke it. Then I would quickly realize that I am not getting anything done on the farm, quit smoking pot and get back to being a productive member of society.
LOL!!!
And I've seen bright, ambitious kids get hooked onto grass and turn into potheads who couldn't think clearly, and couldn't focus, and were only looking for their next joint, or their next drink, and when they were going to get laid next.
You know what? I don't want some pot head driving while he's high and I'm on the road. I don't want them doing critical work that requires precision and alertness. Libertarians seem by and large to operate under the delusion that much of what they do doesn't really affect others, and that is not the case. They live in society and what they do DOES affect others, and it is not up to the rest of us to just suck it up and live with the consequences of THEIR behavior.
If they lived in isolation somewhere in the mountains and never had contact with other humans, fine, smoke your brains out. Once another person is in the picture, there is obligation to that person. It's not up to everyone else in the world to acquiesce to the immature demands of self-gratification that libertarians by and large demand.
The typical libertarian mindset is self-gratification and to hell with everyone else. If they don't like it, THEY need to leave, but by God nobody better tell the same to the libertarian. Nobody has the *right* to tell him what to do like he thinks he can tell others.
Not if yer realizer got broke!
