As long as the law that legalizes MJ also mandates personal responsibility. I don't care what you do to your body as long as I don't have to pay for it. Get pregnant? Be a parent. Get high? Park your ass in a place you can't hurt others. Want to eat? Get a job. Sick? Go to the doctor and pay him for his services. Drop a can? Pick it up. Hurt somebody? Pay the price. Want more money? Be more productive. Enjoy your freedoms? Support those who have sworn to defend those freedoms.

Alcohol is legal. If gun ownership is decoupled from legality of alcohol, why can't gun ownership be decoupled from the legality of pot?
If one truly believes in liberty, the pro-liberty position is obvious here.

And alcohol comes from plants, just like marijuana. Wheat, barley, sugar from beets or cane, yeast. Marijuana should be legal because currently your federal government only prosecutes American citizens for smuggling small quantities. Mexican illegal aliens smugglers who have less than 500 pounds in their possession are released with no prosecution to return to Mexico within about 24 hours or so.

The difference is alcohol, opiates, cocaine require processing, man-made processes to extract the "good stuff." Weed is just a weed, it grows and is dried to a flammable stage and boom, there you go. It's more of a monetary thing and social thing as it was banned because ainslinger convinced the general populous that it made people go crazy and made white women fornicate with black men. Legalize it and focus law enforcement efforts where they are needed. Who cares if you want to burn it down IN PRIVATE. You can't drink and drive, it's illegal, but how many die each year from alcohol related accidents? How many die each year from cirrhosis or heart failure? Or lung cancer? The difference is the government sells alcohol and profits quite generously from tobacco sales. Plus, you can't grow a Marlboro in your back yard, so Big Tobacco has the market cornered. The gov is in bed with Phillip Morris and Budweiser. Legalize dope and any bubba will grow it in his yard or basement and keep it for personal use and Uncle Sam makes no $$$$.

Legalizing marijuana sucks, and not to the good. Sometimes I wonder if not smoking marijuana causes brain damage Only a pothead would wonder that! Negative. Just making a funny I personally believe marijuana to be potentially more harmful than popular culture wants to admit to. It certainly isn't a miracle cure for whatever ails you. But people should be free to consume what they wish, in my opinion, and the consequences of prohibition far outweigh any perceived benefit. Not to mention the fact that legalizing it at the federal level - or at least revising its status - would allow for actual research to be done regarding its safety. Drug abuse should be treated as a public health concern, not a criminal act. |

Marijuana is not a drug, it's a plant. It should be treated just like alcohol. View Quote Opium is a plant derivative too, same as cocaine and they're also drugs. Oddly, those arguing for mainstreaming marijuana are themselves pitching the idea that it is, in fact, a medicinal drug. |

The poll didn't match the headline. I was expecting a poll on whether I thought marijuana should be legal. (I don't, because I think it puts the stamp of approval on a vice.)
You shouildn't carry if you are high, any more than you should carry when you are drunk. I personally don't think you should get high or drunk, but then I realize that my puritanical views aren't enforceable. |

Not to muddy the waters or anything, but I'm curious enough to risk derailing someone else's thread.
Where does the government's authority to ban any drug come from? Is that a commerce clause catch all, or what? Second question, why would a government want to ban drugs? I mean obviously you wouldn't want a society of people too whacked out to be useful labor. However , from a freedom point of view there's no reason to ban them. From an evil overlords point of view it would represent another level of behavioral control and population control. Honestly curious. |
