Ah, the natural fallacy. And what of the much higher concentration of THC in your "plant" these days?

Whoops...I forgot to preemptively shout, "Alcohol is worse!" and "Reefer Madness!"

If it is federally regulated, there needs to be a red 'skull and bones' health warning sticker on the container informing the users of the psycho-toxins in marijuana.

as always it falls upon the person smoking, eating or drinking something to perform
their own due dilligence. Kind of hard to do when a substance is only availiable on the black market.

That drug is dangerous and is known for causing psychosis and various other mental and physical impairments. There hasn't been enough long term peer reviewed studies and research done to warrant national legalization. The fact that this is being spearheaded without a broad endorsement of medical professionals is astounding and frightening.

Oh, you mean the consumers will start demanding lower levels of THC if we put labels on the product and send in the regulators?

They don't care about any of that. They want to get high and the politicians see this as a revenue goldmine.

Ah, the libertarian view. Standing on principle, gol darn it! I have an unfettered right to do whatever wish to my own body, regardless the externalities, not the least of which, the misery I bring to my family and friends! Freedom, baby!

Ah the statist view: I have the right to kill, beat, rob and cage someone over the possession of a substance that I disapprove of.

I love you guys, I do, mostly because when I was a young man and didn't know anything, I believed in all this stuff, too. Then I grew up.

Stop signs are state-sponsored oppression! Who are you to tell me when I have to stop!?! You can't tell me what to do!

Well I dont know anyone that opposes signs on principal and I find they can be quite useful and appropriate at times. Not sure what any of that has to do with robbing, beating, caging or killing someone because they have a plant you dont like? Well other than you dont have rational argument against the practice of personal responsibility.
