Pot is bad stuff. This is not an arguable issue. However, the problem is a moral one. Laws against morally bad behavior that harms only the person engaging in it are also bad stuff.

If we have to have laws, let's make it a crime to drive under the influence of pot, cocaine, etc. If we have to have laws, let's make being stoned an aggravating factor in crimes of violence.

However, there's no point in going after the stoner who sits in his living room toking, while harming no one but himself. I want to keep the cops out of people's living rooms, not just out of their bedrooms.

It already is and has been for decades. It is illegal to drive impaired and that includes Rx drugs, OTC drugs and even sleep deprivation.

all good laws address a moral underpinning

rape, murder, stealing, theft, assault

all are morals

Not just dope and drinking

people need to be consistent on their objections to moral laws
