Who said there would be 35,000 amendments?
A guy who goes home a drinks a 12 pack every night is a an alcoholic with some major problems.
I do support a general ban on all ABUSERS of alcohol.
Maybe after the first offense start to confiscate their wealth and eventually if you must keep them in a prison then use them to clean the roads to earn their way in life.
Tell that to an idiot Liberal and you will be accused of racism and wanting to starve children and the elderly. There is an entire poverty industry that has sprung up from your LBJ Great Society constitutionalism.
The War on Drugs, like the War on Poverty, is a failed big government social program. It even has its own equivalent of Poverty Pimps defending their failed policies in order to keep their feeding place at the public trough.
Ha! Most ignorant post of the day! The guy is a health nut and a couple of joints a day ain't about to kill anyone.
All Marijuana is, is another "Control point" put into the legal system that continues to this day.
These control points also include mandatory auto insurance and seat belts.
1 degree at a time is how you boil a frog.
The probable early future of many recreational drug users.
At least it looks like the state or family spared no expense to see them off! LOL
Marijuana is a drug. The people using it have "CONTROL" problems.
"Maybe after the first offense start to confiscate their wealth and eventually if you must keep them in a prison then use them to clean the roads to earn their way in life."
Is that you Saddam?
If you are picked up by a hospital, police or at work drunk, that isn't the Taliban, it's your own consequences coming back at you.
Better to not ABUSE alcohol or to use illegal drugs which is abuse all the time.
Red herring; I asked about a guy getting drunk (NOT poisoned) AT HOME.
No more than the people who use Alchohol.
It's a government control issue.
You keep making this claim with no proof. If that's not a lie it's the next-worst thing.
If they get themselves to the point where they are in the system, yep they will reap the consequences.
I think even now they have their wealth fined away from them and they lose other assets like their homes in civil suits if they hurt someone.
Make a nice study for yourself as to how things get into the system and how long it takes.
Yes, the people who abuse alcohol are equally out of control as are all recreational drug users. It is a lack of self-control and irresponsibility issue, has ZERO to do with government.
That's like saying if there was no enforcement of the rape law that all rape behavior would stop and that is an irrational view IMO.
What does that have to do with use vs. abuse? And are you excluding orally ingested drugs (e.g. LSD) from your claim about "always abuse"?
Because you don't have an abuse with alcohol in moderation and if it takes time to get going, you may never have a problem.
With pot and other drugs, it goes to a whole different area of the brain with it's effects (which you are welcome to go research as I have in the past).
Smoking gets things into the system faster and more effectively because the lungs instantly send it everywhere in the body.
That is one of the reasons there are inhalers...
Alcohol takes a few minutes, which is not enough time to avoid problems. And as I aksed, what about orally ingested drugs (e.g. LSD)?
With pot and other drugs, it goes to a whole different area of the brain with it's effects
That doesn't prove that one is abuse and the other is not.
"Marijuana is a drug. The people using it have "CONTROL" problems."
Marijuana is the flower of an herb used throughout the ages by many cultures. The people that say they want to "CONTROL" the use of this herb are deceitful "CONTROL" freaks that demonize material things while blind to the demons possessing their hearts causing them to wage war upon their brothers and sisters in Christ. Their sin is compounded by their motivation for war; the manipulation and "CONTROL" of markets to maintain their own dominance at the expense of all the people that would benefit from truly free and open markets in products provided by this herb (including energy).
