Not what I was saying. If you bring responsibilities of children into the world and then expect society to pick up those responsibilities for you, society has a right to address that.

If you are only harming yourself, oh well.

But a little weed?!? Oh, my, Jesus wouldn't like that!
Your bias is embarrassing. I know quite a few christian republicans who consume marijuana.

Don't paint with such a broad brush.

Educate yourself before posting stereotypes.

So, don't drive a car. If you get killed in a car, society has to care for your children.

And on and on......

BTW, laws are not preventing anybody from consuming drugs. They are and always have been readily available.

I don't care what the reasoning is behind Trump's policy change.

He's the POTUS, he's the man in charge, and I am happy he slapped that idiots Sessions face in front of the world. I am no Trump fan (wanted to be)....Trump drives me nuts with his tweets and mouth, but on this one....kudos.

I am dealt with if I drive in an irresponsible manner.

Absolutely. If you place your responsibilities upon others, they have a right to address that.

Just like drug users should be. Drug consumption does not equal drug abuse.
