My analogy is perfectly accurate. Citizens are required to use DMV and they are inconveniently located. Pot stores are also state controlled and are popping up everywhere.
Pot is not medically needed by several hundred thousand people. Those who claim so are insane.
I haven’t been to a DMV in 5-10 years and own multiple cars. Same with most people I know. Don’t even know where it is since everything can be done by mail or by a dealer.
Anyone who knows a plant is effective for their own personal situation should be allowed to use it as they see fit. Anyone who grows plants should be allowed to sell them once tested free of contaminants.
That’s how things should work in a country of free people. Anything else is a slippery slope to tyranny. IF people accept regulation of what plants you can grow/use privately, it will never end. Anything potentially harmful or “unproductive” that you do on your own time will be banned. “Unhealthy foods”, TV, websites, games, extreme sports, motorcycles, hunting, surfing, etc, etc, etc.
Countless legal things are unproductive, unnecessary and MAY lead to you being a burden to society by your own choice to do them. Where exactly will they draw the line on protecting people from themselves?
Luckily most people strongly rejected the government’s first foray into controlling private lives- alcohol prohibition. Today, most free people are rejecting the regulation of what plants they can privately use. Freedom loving citizens will BEAT THEM BACK once again and make sure they never go further!
