Do you really want the federal Government to keep on telling what is good or bad to put in our bodies... Didn’t prohibition tell you something???
Unfortunately, statism has taken so strong a hold even among some people who call themselves conservatives, that they won't even consider anything other than the same policies that have failed. You cannot even suggest modest changes without being accused of being a drug addict or a drug pusher. If you suggest that the state treat adults like adults, people will say you want to sell crack cocaine to infants. It is like talking about gun control with leftists - they will accuse you of wanting to give kindergarten students machine guns. They are like some liberals who imagine that just one more gun control law will magically end violent crime.
No. Hanging around potheads (in my past) tells me a lot more. Potheads are impossible to have a rational conversation with.
