I agree, but if we use that logic it would have to apply to the opium poppy as well.
Whats your problem with opium?
Did you know the first drug laws that targeted opium was due to racism...it was an effective way to control a certain race and what parts of town they spent time in, lived, worked, etc. It was NEVER about anyones health or safety...the same as it is today!
In case you havent noticed, when the govt targeted opioid prescription drugs, there has been major problems with heroin abuse since then...Gee, I wonder why that happened!! This was basically the drug cartels using the DEA to do their dirty work, get rid of the competition, it worked great, pharma companies lost billions as a result, but the cartels gained lots of new customers and LOTS more money coming in.
Unfortunately, the way legal wrongs get righted is that someone gets hurt and challenges the law all the way to the SC. Why do people have to be suppressed, rights suppressed, etc before laws are reconsidered and re-examined?
Almost every landmark decision started out with someone getting hurt.
I agree.... with you.
Well, anyone, that has ever been convicted of a drug charge, would have a case, Im sure at least one of them could make it to the SC.
The fact remains the Govt has NO constitutional right to create or enforce ANY drug laws...as americans, NONE of us should be complying with these laws, its pretty sad and pathetic when its the drug dealers and traffickers that are doing their patriotic duty, instead of everyone else!! LOL
Should you stop worrying about those drivers who are high on it, running you off the road?
You should worry about drivers eating a burger while texting and changing the station while shaving while jamming to their music singing wildly distracted and yelling at their kids in the back to shut up while arguing with their wives while changing lanes without signalling etc. etc..
The same people who'd drive while it was illegal are the same that will still do it. Regardless of legal status of the substance..
Actually, not a single statement in this post is true. I have posted the evidence for it more than once in this thread, which you not surprisingly completely ignored.
You are a completely closed book.
The guy spouts some nonesense and then plugs his years going "lalalala I can't hear you!"
So are you campaigning to band all alcohol and other drugs in the USA.
You are as likely to be a victim of distracted driving in the USA than you are to be a victim of someone high on pot.
This isn't going to all of a sudden make all those weed smokers decide that because weed is legal it is now legal to drive impaired.
What is wrong with the thought process of people these days.
The Insurance Institute says that distracted drivers, mostly those on cell phones, are the biggest cause of driving fatalities. Far more than impaired drivers.
I don’t know what their thought processes are, getting drunk or stoned. All incredibly stupid activities with no redeeming qualities at all.
The assumption that because weed is not legal all of a sudden there will be a surge of folks deciding to drive impaired is ridiculous.
Those inclined to drive impaired don't look to the substance being legal or not.
