That’s why I don’t debate stoners.
They say the government has no business trying to regulate pot.
So I say then you must believe that heroin must be legal since you say the government has no business controlling drugs.
Then the stoners always call me names.
Party on, dude.
Well shelterguy I do not smoke pot, nor take drugs excpet those perscribed by the VA. Heroin should be illegal. Marijuana should be legal. Peyote should be used for religious purposes...let me ask, what about making tea from acacia leaves?
At one time in this nation’s history alcohol was illegal. Would you have broken the law to drink? Marijuana was not illegal. Then the lawsa changed and marijuana was made illegal and alcohol was made illegal. Heroin never entered into the equation, though it was legal until around 1910 or so IIRC. So it has been proved the government can make some things legal and other things illegal. Just like “Bump Stocks”. One time there were illegal, then legal and now might be made illegal again. Does the government have the right to regulate such things? If bullets and rifles are legal, and bump stocks are illegal, then alcohol and marijuana can be legal and heroin and meth illegal.
But, but “guns” are protected by the second amendment. Yes, they are. Where in the constitution does it say that marijuana is illegal? The 9th and 10th gives those power to the states and the people on those issues not covered by the constitution, ergo, states can individually make alcohol illegal or legal, and thusly marijuana illegal, or legal. So then we go back around to the fact that then the states can make herion legal based upon that argument. I would say that the Federal government does whatever it wants to do and the constitution be damned. So if that is the case, then marijuana can be legal and heroin be illegal.
Thanks for playing. And look...no names!
“They say the government has no business trying to regulate pot.”
False. The major theme of the successful ballot intiatives was “regulate like alcohol”.
No. In truth, you’re an idiot.
The reason you don’t debate, is because you can’t support your point without lobbing false and absurd accusations.
Not everyone who opposes having the nanny state regulate their lives is a stoner, but every person who does advocate for the government regulating all facets of OTHER PEOPLES BEHAVIOR is a short sighted non-thinker.
You failed to notice that my original post to this thread didn’t have anything to do with supporting legalized pot. It simply opposes the type of thinking that demands government regulations to solve every problem people face.
Undeterred by this simple fact, you decide to pop up like some demented gopher from your hole and tell *me* what I think; then run away like a coward with a flippant “I don’t debate stoners”...
It would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic.
There’s a saying about trying to use reason and logic to argue with a stupid person:
“Never play chess with a pigeon.
The pigeon just knocks all the pieces over.
Then shits all over the board.
Then struts around like it won.”
