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 may not want it legal at the state level, and that’s fine. But shouldn’t a state be allowed to decide intrastate marijuana policy per the Tenth Amendment?
The landscape is become weirder and weirder. You’ll find self-professed “conservative” pundits on television not just arguing pro-dope, pro-amnesty, and pro-homo marriage, but ALL three at once!
If this defines “conservatism” today, then I guess I’m not a conservative anymore. I was against such crap thirty years ago, and I’m even more against it now, seeing how these very things have turned America into such a degraded cesspool. Honestly, I don’t even see this country as even ‘worth’ salvaging at this point. Would I pick up arms to combat an invader to protect THIS deviant culture? THIS deviant populace?
