Correct. With freedom SHOULD come responsibility for the consequences of your actions. That’s where libertarian philosophy breaks down. Government is constantly saving people from themselves
And, get this, the solution is to add a new “drug”
"Add," my butt - pot has been here for decades and has been used by almost half of Americans. Lol. Stupid!
Oh, and legalizing pot will not increase the chance that kids will gain access to it. /sarc.
It won't - since well before any state legalized pot, kids have been reporting that they can get pot almost as easily as beer or cigarettes, although the latter are far more used than pot among adults. The available evidence is that the least bad way to keep drugs away from kids is to legalize them for adults, so that sellers have an economic incentive to not sell to kids.
Next up, meth, crack, coke, heroin.
The voters of each state will decide, as they should; I know of no groundswell of support in any state for legalizing any of those drugs. Do you?
Links?
Does it mean that I have to pay for their rehab?
You are kidding right? Are you implying that it doesn’t cause cancer? Insane.
Please do try to claim that pot doesn’t cause cancer. Please! This should be amusing. And with that cancer lie, so will be all of the other lies and propaganda.
With these kind of blatant lies, I will have no sympathy when the product liability lawyers come after the growers and distributors. Which will happen just like tobacco — they liked about tobacco too.
I would be less angry if all truths about the product were made public. But this is not happening.
Sadly, I do not like lawyers. However, dislike those who lie about the affects of using even more.

I made no claim - you claimed there is evidence, and are trying to substitute bluster. Fail.

Wow, you toss away failed arguments like some people toss away cigarette butts. I'm not aware of any legalization enactment that includes new spending on rehab - are you?
Oh, and BTW, pot is less addictive than alcohol, so if you're really concerned about costs to you, you should focus on that drug - and on courts that sentence those convicted of possession to rehab absent any evidence of addiction.
