based on the laws, if I want to do a drug the only one I can legally partake in is alcohol.. by far one of the most lethal concoctions ever invented..

weed is definitely the safest drug to partake in, and should be classified as so.. the strings on the puppets are being severed and they are coming to their senses and learning the real truth about the benefit of weed.. and by the way it will be legal in most states by 2023

The only law I break regularly is the speed limit, and I'm still offended by people (in other states) being incarcerated for smoking a plant. Got anything else? Oh, I forgot who I'm asking... so the answer is obviously going to be NO!

If we used the laws to define personal morality, I doubt a SINGLE person would be "moral" in this nation. Who hasn't broken a law (whether minor or major) once or twice in their lifetime? Even the self-righteous moral police like Finn_Jarber probably wouldn't be exempt, methinks.

And again Finn based on your logic when being allowed to own slaves was the law, or when segregation was the law, or when women couldn't vote was the law, then we should just go ahead and follow them, because the law is the law! There are some good laws, but there are also a lot of bad ones! Prohibition is one of them! Incarcerating or prosecuting someone for smoking a doobie in their own home when they're doing NO HARM to someone else, and pandering to the Prison Industrial Complex is indeed OFFENSIVE!!!! Being told by the government and other busy bodies what I can and can't consume because "WAAAAAAAAAAAA I DON'T LIKE IT AND I WANT TO CONTROL OTHERS OR IT CUTS INTO MY PROFITS" is indeed offensive!


Finally, you don't know jack s*** about me, so don't act like you're all holier than thou, and you're the authority on morality, MMMKAY!!!! Instead of passing judgement, why don't you step back and stop seeing things as black and white for once?

Good men do not follow bad laws... Would you have complied with the Fugitive Slave Act? More over, free men do not follow laws that infringe upon their right to their own body. Maybe you should watch some more Fox news or MSNBC and continue being a happy little slave.
