Because of the hypocrisy and ignorance in your argument, that’s why. What does smoking marijuana have to do with anything?

I never wanted to smash or vandalize anything when I smoked pot or harm anyone. When I was drunk was another matter. I was violent, abusive and ended up losing the love of a woman who would have married me but for the drink. Marijuana doesn’t affect people in the way that alcohol does.
Violence is a matter of emotion or a desire to harm someone or destroy something. Alcohol can fuel that desire.

I've been there myself. I've been both a drunk and a pothead. Many times both at the same time. I've ruined many relationships because of both drugs and alcohol.

I'm not limiting what's going on today to pot use although I'm fairly certain that is the most predominant drug in play. If you've been clean for 30 years then I'm guessing you and I are close to the same age. I'll be 59 in a couple of months. The stuff you and I smoked is nowhere near to what what's available today. We called it grass because it basically was.

I'm not saying potheads and other drug users should spend their lives in jail but outright legalization is not good for society either. There HAS to be a middle ground.

Clearly, what's going on today is not what people in their right minds do. These kids are out of their minds and much of it has to be drug induced.

I can agree with that. But I think a lot of the antifa rioters are on meth or some other stimulant. Look at the guy who kicked that man in the head. Complete unhinged loss of control. Didn’t the Germans use meth in WWII?
