No he wasn’t but he didn’t advocate making drugs illegal either. You could to to the general store and get laudnum and knock yourself out is you so chose. He also didn’t put a prohibition on alcohol. Nanny statism and religious statism don’t coordinate well with the constitution.
Pot doesn’t make people rob steal or rape it just makes people goofy and hungry.
I know two half-brothers. One has solid woodworking skills and has no trouble holding a job and never causes anyone a like of trouble. The other is a worthless psycho with no values whatsoever who wrecks cars driving without a license and assaults people.
The former smokes pot. The latter is a crackhead.
Guess who is in jail for four years here in PA and guess who got probation for having a couple of rocks on him? Stupid, stupid, stupid law enforcement and justice. The crackhead needs to be in jail - he's gonna kill or maim someone someday.
There are plenty of mean drunks. I haven't encountered any mean stoners yet.
