Don't expect cheers -- or even reasonable debate. The druggies, like smoke manufacturers everywhere, don't give a damn about people or societies -- or freedom. To them we're just a market and the sooner they can beat down resistance they can deal with impunity on the schoolyard, all the while masquerading as freedom-loving Tom Jefferson. Most Americans aren't fooled and won't be fooled. But like terrorists of all stripes, the druggies will continue sending their suicide bombers against America's conscience and consciousness. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

Thanks for the humor break. You guys need to put the bottle down before you post here.

We caught Auggie Busch lurking around the local Jr High this morning, but were able to shoo him away with a broom.

Well said.

I can see Thomas Jefferson lighting his bong while sitting at his desk and drafting letters.

Yeah, right.

what the heck are you smoking and will you share it.

What liberty? I am free to be thrown in jail for smoking a naturally occuring substance in the privacy of my home and causing harm to no one. Is that liberty? You are completely blind!

Whilom you stated:

"The price of liberty is eternal vigilance."

You are correct. The 9th amendment states it best:

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain RIGHTS, shall NOT be construed to DENY OR DISPARAGE others (rights) retained by the PEOPLE."

Nothing of your other remarks speaks of liberty. I do not know how you portend to be "viligant" of liberty when you advocate the prohibition of a citizen's right to ingest the substance of their choice?

I would be very interested in your definition of liberty. Care to share it?
