“It’s STUPID idea that will increase the number of losers smoking pot..”

So you place little value on personal freedom, a cornerstone of our country’s founding?

I have always thought my freedom was supposed to go as far as impacting the freedom of the next person. I was taught that by my Western US type conservative parents. Think Barry Goldwater and Milton Friedman; both of whom inspired Ronald Reagan.

One man sits home, and has a couple of whiskeys.

Next man has few beers, or wine.

Yet their neighbor might toke half a joint.

All doze off in their easy chairs, with the TV playing.

Harm to society? Societal justification to regulate, criminalize, tax, etc?

Getting high on drugs in negligent behavior and a danger to other people. That is a crime, not a right.

The country was founded by potheads and on right to get on drugs.
