This is exactly why I posted this thread. You're sitting here defending the "right" of people to get stoned. You're not wasting your time on trying to get abortion overturned. You're not concerned with pornography and the detrimental effects it has on society. Just the opposite. You're defending leftist viewpoints on these issues. You're not talking about how the left is trying to destroy the country. No. You're defending pot smokers. You're defending a leftist cause. You're carrying the water for liberal thought. I don't mean that as an insult, but supporting free sex and legalizing drugs ARE liberal causes, not conservative, and the more you defend them the faster you help destroy the moral and cultural fabric of our country. Not that there's much left to conserve.
I’m not defending the right of people to get stoned. I’m defending the right of people to make decisions about their life that do not affect someone else. If they want to use their rights to get stoned, so be it. The only negative effect you can come up with is “it turns them into leftists”. That is not enough to ban something. It isn’t even in reality enough to make it immoral.
At the same time, if you want to spend your time telling people what the right choice in their life is and evangelizing the right on and moral path on pornography and marijuana fine. Go for it. In the private sector. If you can convince them that your viewpoint is the correct one without government coercion more power to you. However, pornography and marijuana’s negative effects on society are so hard to pin down that banning either one is unjustified.
