In the long run Marijuana makes people more reliant on government as it continues to make society and individuals more dysfunctional.
Okay. So some people will seek self destructive measures and wind up an unholy mess. I *don't* care. I understand this is an imperfect world, and that my tax dollars will wind up wiping the mess of fools. Nobody (reasonable) ever said that life was fair.
What I'm 100% done with is using my tax dollars to fund police state evisceration of the Constitution, all in the name of keeping me safe from an evil plant monster.
I realize the danger from even mild drugs is real, and destroys lives. Stupidity kills, Darwin strikes again. I still want the government stripped of the excessive law enforcement powers it's given itself to stop the evil plant monster at all costs. We can use every penny of the savings to go into treatment, counseling and education, as far as I'm concerned.
