I have been to the big city, saw the elephant and to misquote (by intent not the actual words) of pedophile Alan Ginsburg:
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness
there is way too much known about psychosis that was caused by various hallucinogens including good pot.
this is a known factor, and I hate the thought of the country's children destroying their lives with it.
that being said, the (small L) libertarian in me says go ahead, you have been warned....
I’ve witnessed what this stuff can do to destroy the brain and personality of someone I love.
And the problem is ... Because it appears to halt maturation and self awareness .... She is convinced EVERYONE ELSE is the problem!
This is a person who started very young.
It’s hard enough keeping young people from messing with it by keeping it illegal.
So now we remove any penalty - remove any stigma - and pretend it isn’t any different than drinking when we know that’s not true.
The kids will damage their brains - their ambitions - their natural skills before they are old enough to enter the work force - IF they enter the workforce.
