I understand that. But it is a legitimate function of government, indeed an essential one, to protect life. Those goobers are OUR goobers, or at least they should be. Proper authority derives from God, then to parents, then to civil authority. There is a proper use of creation when it comes to recreation, including altered states of awareness within reason. But . . . human nature needs a curb.
Difficult ground to tread, when people want to put curbs on others that are unnecessary and actually tend toward more violent criminal activity instead of less.
The Founders were, I think, when they designed a system for those who could regulate their own behavior. Those who couldn’t, or wouldn’t, were exiled or executed.
Living as a free citizen in this Republic is not an unlimited gift. Behavior must have consequences.
PS Bring back bounties on criminals.
