Legalize pot and let natural selection take place and weed out the druggies. Plus doing so will tank the libertarian vote.

Finally he said that no one should profit from people's addiction and he was going out for a cigarette.

The irony of his statement was lost on him.

I don't really see this as irony. If I had an addiction, I'd be mad at the folks profiting from it too.

Cigarettes are addicting. They are also the most heavily taxed item in the store

Yeah. Nigga's addicted to cigarettes, probably mad at cig execs. I would be.

Actually no. He's the type of conservative that holds personal responsibility as his mantra. Earned or not. It's NEVER the corporation's fault.

Yeah... old type conservatives are why I'm a Libertarian.
They get the less welfare bit right, but they're wrong on the expansion of social liberties and currently untapped markets due to federal overstepping and over-regulation.

I strongly believe that people have the right to ruin their own lives.

Agreed anyone against legalizing marijuana has to be retarded.

I don't know about everyone. There are some very valid reasons to be against it. It's just some of the old guard conservatives tend to fall back on the slippery slope of pot being a gateway, or misidentifying it as a hard core narcotic like heroin.

It IS a gateway. The thing is, that's not a valid reason for it to be illegal.

It's pretty sad that there are still so many people that believe cannabis' illegality is a public health issue instead of a political and financial one. If our government was truly concerned with public health then alcohol and tobacco would be schedule 1 substances, pharmaceuticals would have a far greater deal of oversight, and a great deal of food additives would be banned like they are in European countries.

I long for the day when a well informed public is allowed to make their own decisions over whether or not they will use certain substances.

I don't identify as a libertarian but I value liberty very much.

Not a gateway at all.

Prescription pills and Alcohol are 100 times the gateway that Weed is.

This is the kind of argument where I only need to cite one person to prove it wrong.

Verb, that editing isn't very honest. I held my son's hand through six weeks of DT's from methadone withdrawals. Florida uses methadone to treat oxycondone addicted moms.

Pills are 1,000 times worse and more pervasive.

Yeah, no. Last thing I want is to get slightly buzzed cuz some pothead decides to smoke-up a room. At least with cigs, it's just smoke and that shit can clear out easily.

Bahahaha you've slopped up the anti-weed propaganda like a true mindless drone

>Boi, you'd have to be sitting inside a hotboxed car to get a "second hand high" from someone smoking weed. Some dude smoking a joint on the other end of the room away from you will literally do nothing.

>"Brain damage" is a bit severe. Also, so does alcohol. Just limit it by age like every other federally regulated substance.

While good on paper, this doesn't conform to reality. Teens have an easier access to cigarettes than alcohol, of which weed will most likely be sold at the age of 18 as well. In addition, alcohol is harder to consume. Unless your an alcoholic, you general don't down 4 beers a day, especially if you're a teen. However, a teen easily smokes a pack of cigs a day and could easily smoke 4 blunts a day. Alcohol is a liquid substance, so the average teen isn't likely to drink their brain away, although it does happen. It is much easier to do with weed.

It's not like people are gonna be blowing their hits into your face at the movies.

I think in most cases the people who do stuff like that end up getting their shit slapped around to varying degrees.

Okay well, uh

It's also really fuckin' easy to get weed right now

Yep. Build the wall, secure the border. Crack down on drug trafficking so we can focus on getting rid of the home grown stuff.

But why, nigga?

For what purpose, Master Chief?

"To give the Mexicans back their drugs."
