“Go for it. Legalize the stuff or ban it all, booze, cigarettes and casino gambling.”

So you don’t think the government should decide which dumb thing you get to do and which you don’t based on who has the best lobbyists?

Of course not - it should decide based on stereotypes about the people who supposedly typically do those dumb things, e.g., 'dirty pot-smoking hippies.'

Nope. “Dumb thing’’? Protecting people from their folly results in a world full of fools. Lets out law auto racing and all contact sports while we’re at it.
