And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
But by that logic beer should be banned as a gateway to hard liquor. Would you prefer those that want marijuana find it on the street vs. a shop? From the same dealer with the fentanyl? That's the gateway. Freedom comes with responsibility. Consuming any intoxicant excessively, including alcohol, has bad consequences so would you bring back Prohibition to be consistent?
Many people think freedom just means freedom to lobby for laws against others for things they dislike. I don't have an answer to abuse, but clearly the drug war is a failure.
Legal pot is like legal alcohol, you pay your tax and get what you want without ever having to deal with a criminal. It's a "gateway drug" when you have to find a drug dealer to get it, & there are a lot of illegal drugs with a way better profit margin & highly additive to boot.
Prohibition doesn’t work. The drug war has destabilized Mexico and Central America, provides funds for global terror groups, reduced our freedoms (militarized police, domestic spying, asset seizure laws), and increased public corruption, while at the same time there’s still ample supply of drugs.
When you realize what they did to get to that position of 'famous', you'd understand why they're all batshit crazy. The Weinstein parties, the Diddy's...it's the 'how', and it's across the planet in nearly every public facing group, from actors to politicians. You want to play, this is how you pay.
Very nice!

DeleteHayden Panitierre. The normal substance abuse and losing custody of her kid.
ReplyDeleteSubstance abuse? So sad. And so many idiots want recreational marijuana legalized. There is a real reason that it is labeled a "gateway drug."

I prefer buzz to guzz.
DeleteIMHO any intoxicant is not good. Reality is good.
