Not another pot thread. Where is head slap guy when you need him?
You’ve got to balance these things. The Drug War has been an absolute disaster for personal liberty. Swat raids, civil forfeiture, disproportionately applied penalties, enrichment of violent drug peddling gangs, destabilization of Mexico, volcanoes, global warming... Drug warriors, let it go.
Ain’t it wonderful how nobody is telling anyone what they can put into their own bodies?
What the hell did they expect.
If you made heroin legal you would have nw junkies by the thousands in thirty days.
Make Marijuana legal and certainly people will start smoking it.
“Yes, tobacco — specifically cigarettes — kills and marijuana doesn’t. “
You are still smoking.
Just more wasted lives, turmoil and destruction courteousy of the Progressive/Liberal Left.
The real problem is this kind of immorality is going around the world. Since the Lord has dealt with such in the past - Babel, Flood of Noah, the Fall of the Roman Empire - What will it be next?
I love these satire articles.
When they did away with alcohol prohibition, did they have alcohol addicts spike up quickly as well?
I don’t really know the answer, but I sure want to know because there are similarities here.
RE: I love these satire articles.
Dennis Prager, as far as I know, does not do satire.
No wonder Colorado is enacting so many gun control laws.
Lots of people like to complain about the erosion of civil liberties, but what’s going to happen if the number of addicts grows exponentially?
Junkies don’t function in society, they don’t parent, produce economic output at the same level as people who aren’t addicts.
So who fills in the gap from the failure of personal responsibility? The State.
“Make Marijuana legal and certainly people will start smoking it.”
I believe this is true. I have never smoked pot, however I’m sure I would have had it been legal.
If they aren’t committing violent crimes or causing accidents, who cares? Let the moron potheads alone.
my sister started smoking weed, ten wanted the bigger thing and went to cok, speed, LSD and then heroin.
While the elft is wanting to give guns out to their dope heads they are wanting to ban guns.
Hippie life for CO and WA.
Makes me laugh that they want to charge tax on it now and yet the drug dealer they were supposed to get rid of won;t be charging tax.
Now the feds don;t know want to do because it violates federal law but the left still wants to hand out their drugs .
Hopefully common sense will prevail in a couple of years
“the Fall of the Roman Empire”
Where did you get that?
It’s a two-fer.
Pot bad and Tobacco Good.
Our modern-day version of "Opium Dens"....ironically now China is the one that stands to gain.
