A gun, in itself, does not encourage fantasies to shoot.

Um.... yes, it does.... Not that I ever lived them out... but there were times that I just wished someone would try to break into my house, so I could do it legally.

As a person who lives in meth country I can tell you the comparison to alchohol doesn't fly.

As a person who spent all his life on college campuses (including 3 years at Michigan, when marijuana posession with a scoff law), I'm convinced alcohol is a more dangerous and damaging drug than marijuana. Which leads me to be suspicious of the whole WOD.

Wow. Thanks for that insight.

Doctors have found that alcohol in moderation is actually healthy.
There definitely is a problem with people who do not use it in moderation. These people cause havoc and they harm the rights of others.
Because they do this now - I don't think the answer is to provide MORE harmful/damaging substances to society so that there can be MORE harm done.
You are suggesting we damage our society even more because some people are already damaging it.

My eyelids are heavy.A good evening to you, and if you get the chance if you're interested - read up on the damage met is doing to many communities.

Because it takes a whole lot more time and effort to "grow a beer" or a fifth of whiskey than a plant. And you can't tax people on what they can grow at home, if you don't know they're growing it.
