This is one of the big reasons that cannabis is illegal and why there's such a strong push from religious conservatives and traditionalists to stop or at least stall legalization (and right now, it appears they are winning). It's said that "good people don't smoke marijuana." I'm asking this from a moral standpoint and not from a legalization standpoint. Do you believe that it is morally acceptable to use cannabis in the privacy of your own home? Why or why not?

Who am I to tell another adult what they are allowed to smoke or ingest.

Decriminalize all drug use.

Incorrect. It has been Democrats who have tried to stop legalization. They get big payouts from the prison/industrial/law enforcement complex. Big business is locking people up for possession.



Why don't you just start a topic where you say you hate religious people.

I’ve literally never heard anyone say “good people don’t smoke marijuana”.

It’s legal where I live. And given how much it’s taxed, a very good source of revenue.

Jeff Sessions said that, Trump's former AG.

Can I do it naked and playing the piano like Matthew McCanaughey or do I have to keep my clothes on ?

Either way, it's OK.

Just don't get too stoned to hold a job and expect me to bail your azz out.

What's morally acceptable for me, may not be morally acceptable for you. I think it's an individual choice. I'm sorry, I could care less what another person does in the privacy of their home, it's not my business!

Great gaslighting. This isn't even worth a response other than GOP = Gaslight, Obstruct, Project.

It should not be anyone's business what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes.
