You can guarantee that no babies, childen or pets will EVER be exposed to THC- laced second hand smoke?
You can guarantee that no one will EVER fail a drug test from being exposed to THC-laced second hand smoke from a roommate or from the apartment next door? You can guarantee that NO ONE will ever lost their jobs because of this?
You can guarantee that no semi driver will ever be on a busy highway after smoke legal recreational pot?
How many semi drivers who smoked legal recreational pot, in your opinion, is it safe to have on a stretch of, say, 5 miles of a busy interstate? Where your spouse, parents, children or significant other is also driving?
Please tell me how you plan to insure that none of these ‘unintended consequences’ will result from legalized pot use. I can’t wait to hear it.
I never made any claim that I would insure such.
What sane person would make such a claim?
Your questions are exactly how liberals justify big government. You’re bordering on support for prior restraint.
Can you guarantee that you won’t turn into a homicidal maniac and shoot up a shopping mall? See how easy that is? But I guess your desire to abuse the constitution is couched by how “very likely” your scenarios are.
The same logic was used for prohibition, which though a stupid idea, at least acknowledged that the power was extra-constitutional, and required an amendment.
At least those foes of liberty were intellectually honest.
Those things happen now, your laws don’t stop them.

You bet, SusaninOhio! I can’t believe that FReepers are in with legalization. I can think of some more:
* Do you want an employee coming into your business half-stoned?
* Do you want the flood of employers having to require drug tests in a vain effort to keep their employees half sober?
* Do you want the electorate even more mind-numbed than they are now? These people are going to be VOTING. Getting drunk is bad enough.
* All the media says “cigarettes are bad” like it’s the worse thing you can do... and they want to legalize pot???
* Do you want to deal with the *majority* of American youth getting stoned on a drug? Yes, the majority. If they legalize pot *most* of the teens in this country will use it.
“You can guarantee that....”
No one can guarantee you anything. Those who are being intellectually honest will tell you that all of the problems you list will happen if marijuana is legalized. And then some.
But here’s the kicker: it’s already happening anyway. And the fact that the demon weed is still illegal is giving the uniparty and it’s cronies the excuse to engage in all sorts of authoritarian misbehavior. And it’s making gangsters very wealthy.
The cure has become worse than the disease.
But you can guarantee that by keeping pot illegal none of those things will ever happen? Are you seriously telling us that right now, solely because pot is illegal, that
(a) no babies, children or pets have ever been exposed to THC- laced second hand smoke?
(b) no one has ever failed a drug test because of second-hand THC because none of their roommates or neighbors has ever smoked pot - because it’s illegal?
(c) no truck driver has ever been behind the wheel after smoking pot?
Really?
You broads and your obsession with “protecting the children” are nothing more than Stormtroopers in Stilettos. Protect your own GD children!
