Remember that before prohibition it was generally considered unconstitutional to outlaw drugs. There's nothing worse than trying to justify a nanny-state in which a large obtrusive government tells me that I don't have the right to use certain recreational drugs in a responsible manner. Consider the fact that hard drugs such as alcohol are legal and this selective prohibition makes even less sense. |
Well it is what I believe. It can be argued that marijuana is "harder" than alcohol and if the former is legalized what's to stop ppl from wanting to legalize coke, lsd, and all other kinds of drugs? Once you give in, the ppl will clamor for more. How far down the rabbit hole is the gov't willing to go with legalization before everyone is strung out and on the streets? 1960s deja vu anyone?
