I've noticed there are two types of people who advocate legalizing pot. The first group smokes pot.

And the second group believes its none of their business if someone does and that government is to here protect our freedom, not tell us what we can or cannot ingest.

I admit the notion of live and let live is outdated, since now we live under my way or the highway at the mercy of the latest whims of the currently in power anal retentive control freaks.

There's a second group? ;)

I fall into the category that's open for discussion of the issue as a non-constitutional question. I don't think that all behavior such as polygamy, drug use, and non-murderous cannibalism are constitutionally protected. Thus, I think there is a discussion to be had beyond, "I'm being repressed."

I assume you are OK with an employer being able to not hire or fire an employee for any reason, including drug use, as a matter of this being a free country. I can't see that the pure libertarian argument can force an employer to do otherwise.

In the public sector, the employer would be the electorate, deciding who gets government employment, help, etc. and who doesn't.

And, That would be me ...I hate the stuff, but I'd like to know I live in a county that would protect my right to do it.
