“People who use illegal drugs to escape reality are cowards. Don’t like your reality? Change it. No culture values cowardice. Smoking choom to escape reality is just running away from reality, and ultimately, reality is still there ,just waiting for you. We don’t need more cowards in this country. Blowing weed changes nothing except moving money from your wallet to a Grifter drug dealer’s pockets. Legalize it, and create more cowards. And cowards are afraid of reality and they want someone to protect them from reality and there stands the Democrat party saying, “Here. Here. We understand. We know you’re afraid. Just give us some money and your vote, and we’ll take care of you.” Nope. We don’t need more frightened Democrats.”
You post what is essentially the same argument in every marijuana thread. Please find one enumerated power in the Constitution that supports your views that the federal government has been granted the authority by the people to conduct the war on drugs or interfere in the personal lives of its citizens who choose to use drugs.
If an individual seeks to temporarily live in an alternate reality, be it drug induced, alcohol induced, through reading a book or watching a movie what business is it of yours or, more importantly, the federal government?
When you keep using the word “cowardice.” To quote Inigo Montoya (from a fantasy movie many millions viewed to escape reality, btw): “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
Yeah, because it's a good argument, and a true one.
Please find one enumerated power in the Constitution that supports your views ....
Oh, is that your complaint? Okay, let's say arguendo that there was no federal law, but all 57 States had strong laws against the evil weed and all its psychotropic cohort. You'd still bitch, wouldn't you? Because you wanna smoke dope, and by God it's your right to smoke dope, and nobody's gonna tell you different! Who the hell is North Dakota/Illinois/Ohio to tell me I can't ingest/smoke/inject the sacred mushroom, the virtuous hemp-seed, the noble Afghan black, the mighty horse?
Get over yourself. You're just the online equivalent of a crack ho.
