burglary, robbery, rape are crimes against other people.
a person using marijuana is no different than a person drinking alcohol.
the war on drugs, though, has resulted in laws that have criminalized legal behavior under the guise of “protecting” me from those horrible drug dealers.
For instance, the farmer going to buy a tractor, carrying cash for the purchase, is pulled over and the cash is seized because why would he be carrying that much cash. And, how many years does the farmer have to spend proving his innocence in a country where you supposed to be “innocent until PROVEN guilty”. If he can prevail at all.
Or the restaurant owner depositing their daily receipts but they are always under $10k. Must be a money launderer. Seize their business, send them to prison.
Repeal legal alcohol. No other drug has done more damage to humanity than alcohol.
Drinking alcohol doesn't happen in absolute isolation. People have to drink in the real world - somewhere, something, with some need of responsibility. Haven't you ever heard of public intoxication laws? Do you think these are unreasonable?
