better question, should it be legal for bureaucrats, politicians, judges and police officers have dominion over what you put in your own mouth?

Everyone knows that men cannot control themselves.

And, on pot, men REALLY cannot control themselves!

It's not called "demon weed" for nothing.

Lets compare death caused buy the effects of alcohol consumption, compared to smoking a spliff.


I do some really stupid stuff, if I have been drinking.

America has been running on ethanol since its inception.

Without it there would be no Hemingway.

I really don't care how much pot someone smokes as long as they tax the poo out of it and bounce people off of the free health care system if they get lung or brain cancer. Just like tobacco, why should the rest of us pay for your disease that you brought on yourself?

If you don't think that going to a bar and drinking alcohol is bad, then there's no reason to think smoking pot in a bar would be bad. There is nothing about marijuana that is worse than alcohol, and in fact it is much better than alcohol (safer and healthier, etc). The laws in the US are backwards and not based on reason but on ideological buffoonery, scare tactics and arresting the opposition (Nixon's war on the hippies, etc).

It doesn't cause lung or brain cancer. So, there's that.

A timely post from my perspective. At church today we hosted 15 young men who are being ministered to by Teen Challenge--a ministry to young people caught up in addictive behaviors like drugs, alcohol and sex. They usually end up in Teen Challenge after having hit rock bottom: living on the streets, in trouble with the law, filled with disease. Right now Cheech and Chong have re-united to agitate for the legalization of pot. These two in particular and Hollywood in general have done much to glamorize and trivialize pot. They are such liars and deceivers. Their influence has helped destroy so many young lives. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. But there is no such thing as shame anymore.
