If it affects my health, then I should have a say in it.
I am allergic to cigarette smoke, wood-burning fireplace smoke and many other such substances.
I have no say over my neighbors' smoking habits nor do I have any say about how often they use their fireplaces.
I will be moving next year to a be in an environment more conducive to my health.
I don't think we are still decades from legalization when close to 70% of the electorate now believes it should be legal recreationally.
But the GOP, lead by the Christian Right, is still fully committed to prohibition. They have 100% of the power in this country right now. It really doesn't matter if 90% of the population wants it legalized. Those who rule over us do not and until that changes, there's little hope of progress on this issue in the US at least at the federal level. The best we can hope for is that the status quo is maintained until 2025. Then when we get Democrats back in office, we can honor the will of the American people and legalize.
Says the guy who often brags about burning old tires in his back yard.
The fumes released from burning of tyres also have high levels of poisonous metals like chromium and lead. Chromium can cause cancer. ... Tyre burning is extremely hazardous to adults and children, and the chemicals discharged confer dangerous residues in the air and soil.
Yup.... Meanwhile, Canadians with low-level cannabis convictions will soon be able to apply for a pardon. Those convicted of possessing under 30 grams will be able to file a formal application once the amnesty program gets under way in the coming weeks. Ottawa decided against a more complex process of expunging criminal records proactively. The pardons won’t apply to convictions like trafficking, which remains illegal.
If you don't drink, or smoke pot then why do you care?
Because those idiots and their poor choices inevitably use my tax money.
