I want someone who supports marijuana usage to tell me HOW adding MORE addicted/impaired people to our society is a good thing?

In an ideal society, we allow adults to make their own decisions about their lives, not the Government. Allowing people to make their own decisions inevitably means some will make the wrong ones.

The big problem for the pro-Big Government crowd is millions of Americans of all shapes, sizes & political persuasions have & continue to smoke marijuana & the overwhelming majority experience no major problems as a result.

As a result, the pro-Big Goverment crowd feels the need to lie about the effects - Addiction! Crime! Sharknados!

I'm more worried about the effects on the Fourth Amendment, states' rights & the prison system. But, then again, I don't just say I'm for small government.

My bet is there will be no addressing this fact. Something these guys really want to avoid talking about and will quickly change the subject to using some logical fallacy or ad hominem that they criticize the left for (and rightfully so). The comments are already chock full of them.

didn't I just see your name over at zero hedge?
