If you don't have a good reason to destroy a person's life, then you just shouldn't do it! That's why it needs to be legal.

All arguments for criminalization fail miserably due to hypocrisy compared to alcohol, tobacco, and hastily-studied pharmaceuticals, and because they aim to destroy civil rights for no good reason.

If I may, he maens your drugs, money, car, and whatever else you have in your possession.

i dont understand, why would it be ok for someone to rob someone just because they are in possession of pot?
i dont get it is it a law thing? really makes no sense to me

It's not like you can go to the cops and tell them someone stole your weed.

Yes, as well as other legal property that cops suspect may have been involved in the "illegal" activity. But that's the least of it. They also get imprisoned (e.g. full and complete denial of freedom), and blacklisted with a criminal record (much harder to rise above minimum wage or even get a job).

Should the government be allowed to steal from, imprison, and blacklist a person for owning a safer substance than alcohol? No. No one has ever given me a good reason, you included. And it's simply wrong to hurt a person so badly when you have no good reason.

I said "legally robbed." You think it's ok for a cop to take a person's car away because they had marijuana in the car? Even if the car was owned legally? When something isn't even worth being a crime, it shouldn't lead to forfeiture of legally owned items.

You still haven't given any good reason to hurt people so badly by stealing from them, imprisoning them and blacklisting them. You're shamelessly cruel if you think it's ok to arbitrarily do that to a person who harmed no one else. All you have is "it's the law." Slavery was the law, women couldn't vote because of the law, alcohol was prohibited by law for a short time and it fueled the mafia just like today's drug cartels, etc. You think we should just keep everything because it's current law? Give me a good reason for it to be against the law or accept that you are simply basking in cruel ignorance, "hon".
