“No good will come from legalizing this stuff.”
I totally agree. The States should have laws against it. But since they did not delegate to anyone the general ability to regulate conduct wholly within their borders, it’s not a matter for the Federal government to decide one way or the other.
In the late 19th century, somehow America wasn’t all excited about marijuana, surely telling us that it was a miniscule problem. Alcohol had become a matter of controversy, leading to the failed Prohibition.
Alcohol should have also taught us the lesson that it’s the soul and the spirituality and the morality that matters. Not the substance. Unfortunately, it didn’t!! The evidence that such things matter is there in plain sight for anyone who visits an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. But does the average virtue-signaling rightist care? Apparently not.
