How old are you?

Its interesting in that your comments are exactly those put forth and propagated by the hippies and New Left in the 60’s.

They’ve become mainstream now as has the associated Marxist outlook and liberal ethos.

It is a canard, apples and oranges.

Marijuana use is much more harmful to society than alcohol use.

That alcohol can cause more accidents is a separate issue that the left has successfully conflated with “harmful”.

Sorry I wasn't alive in the 60s. I'm 36, married to a woman, and am a father of three (including one with Downs Syndrome).
We are pro life, pro Second Amendment, pro biblical marriage, libertarian minded (but hold our nose GOP voting) conservatives.
I just stated my opinion based on real world observations with regard to marijuana. In my view it is just a matter of which evil one prefers to live with.
Live with a legally regulated marijuana industry, or spend billions fighting a never ending and losing “war” that is working about as well as prohibition did (again I wasn't alive for those debates either).
This country got along just fine in the 1800s before the regulating of inanimate objects became a pretext for massive government expansion.
I don't think marijuana is good for people.
I also don't think a police state (which has become increasingly militarized) is good for liberty.
We are evangelical Christians and I'm anything but a leftist.
Please disagree with me if you like about this issue, but don't throw me in the trash by associating me with a movement I wasn't alive for.
I've always been able to disagree with people on this forum without it getting ugly and I'd prefer to keep it that way.
God bless you and FR.

"Marijuana use is much more harmful to society than alcohol use."

I have yet to see a punch up bar fight over a football game between two stoners . Stroll down any city street and count how many stoners are passed out in a doorway clutching a blunt. Please indicate how many ODs are listed from pot.

Sorry, logic and the facts are not on your side. And I date back to when a nickel "ounce baggie" was $5 and a real ounce... I tried it, once, back in '71. Hell, half my company, (Comm Bn, 1st Mar Div.), were stoners. No big deal.
