One reason why they should keep all illicit drugs illegal. I don’t care if pot is the mildest drug out there, we cannot imo head down that slippery slope. I think for severe medical reasons fine...why should a dr. be able to prescribe morphine but not marijuana If a person is dying from cancer and this is the only think that helps them to get through it I think it’s wrong to deny. But culturally we are already going south and legalizing pot imo just puts another nail in the coffin. It will send a signal to children that there’s nothing wrong with it, instead of it being the “taboo” that keeps some kids away from it.

Bingo. We have an interest as a society, and the government as society’s duly elected representatives, to preserve and prosper society.

Morality should be and IS legislated. Society has deemed it worthy to do so, and it sets the tone for the coming generations.

Now we could just all do what’s right in our own eyes - read about how that worked out in the Old Testament.
