“ So you’re in favor of prohibition of alcohol too then?”
No, we tried that before and it made a mess of things.
But, the use of alcohol has caused a great deal of our current societal problems. When the obituary of the USA is written alcohol will have played a huge roll in her death. Marijuana will be the final nail in our coffin and our authoritarian leaders that want complete control over us know this.
I consider marijuana to be much less harmful than alcohol from both a health and a societal standpoint. And all research pertaining to these substances validates that. What exactly is it about marijuana that puts a bee in your bonnet? That’s not to say that there shouldn’t be any restrictions on marijuana use. It does have a demotivational side effect so I could see drug testing welfare recipients who refuse to take responsibility for themselves. But for otherwise responsible adults the state has no business sticking their nose in this. I don’t want some low IQ pinhead telling me what I can or cannot ingest as long as that habit doesn’t interfere with the rights of others. You know many Western countries forbid melatonin supplements. Is this the sort of nanny state government you want?
