You have American politicians advocating the legalization of marijuana. They know full well that young people will regularly intoxicate themselves with alcohol, marijuana or both. Of course there will be more opioid addicts, children with autism ( what do you think happens when you soak ovaries with alcohol and marijuana,and use during pregnancy), accidents and social dissolution (try living in a family with a “casual” drug user). Hedonism is a precursor of cultural decline.
>Hedonism is a precursor of cultural decline
that ship has sailed.
Why do politicians advocate for this? It is simple-— NONE of them have ever worked a day in their lives, and it is sooooooo simple to come up with tax money from “sins” of victimized marketed addictive products. The taxes from which line the pockets of the criminal political class of useless (t@rds)... like John....”rasta man” Boehner— a bigger a@@hole in DC cannot be found (a bar owning golf caddie commode hugging drunk, and his daughter married to a jamaican ganja posse gangster-— that should help his being head “lobbyist” for Cannabis, Inc.). The entire line of BS from these people disgusts me. The lives RUINED for their political and personal profit.
But.... do love Single Malt, as an ambrosia, not a daily escape from responsibility, and numbing of true human emotion and caring.
Hedonism is not a precursor. It IS cultural decline. We are in the middle of it.
