When does “freedom” to abuse a substance turn into slavery to the substance itself. Hmm?

What you really want is freedom from consequences. You want your pot and you want it legal and you don’t care who gets hurt. Freedom without responsibility isn’t freedom at all. Your “freedom” will result in collateral damage to a lot of other lives, especially those who are too young to understand consequences before they get hooked on substances. They will think because the government permits an act, it sanctions it.

You should give up. This isn’t an argument you are going to win with me, but I have had fun anyway.

There is no argument between free people. We are each entitled to live our lives as we see fit. You on the other hand believe it is your right to incarcerate other people for not doing as you tell them to do. Freedom is not easy and you are not up to the task. I have no need to "win" any argument with you as your own words have already convicted you in the eyes of the Founding Fathers.

Since young people have been reporting for many years that they can get cannabis more easily than beer or cigarettes, it seems that it's banning cannabis for adults that hurts young people - by putting cannabis in the black market, beyond the reach of effective regulation such as age limits.

Is that what they think about the harmful addictive substances alcohol and tobacco? Should we ban those for adults?
