I watched people get thrown in cages for decades over pot. Few things in history have been as wasteful, costly, damaging and absurd as their BS WOD. My position is if someone has an issue with drugs or alcohol, give them some help if they want it. If they don't and they wind up hurting/harming someone else, they're are laws/consequences in place that cover that too.
your position is circular and ultimately irresponsible. we don’t pass laws based on what some confused guy with a quirky use of a smiley thinks he saw for decades — cages nowithstanding.
perhaps if you go tear down the stop signs in your neighborhood, you’ll feel better.
