Mr. D - why do you say Spunk is passionate ONLY about this when clearly this is not true. He engages in all manner of discussion on this forum.
I should have been clearer. I meant young people in general. I was just asking Spunk why this is so important to him.
To tell you why it is important to me is to tell you why wearing what kinds of clothes I want to wear, saying the things I want to say, and managing my life with whatever recreational processes I please is important. I don't give this issue any more or less consideration than any other. But I see something wrong with it, and these are my two cents.
they are being as passionate as alcholics would be if the guvermint made it illegal to drink or smokers if they made it illegal to smoke. I really believe the only reason pot is illegal is because it can be easily grown in a garden and wouldn't generate the tax revenue from sales like tobacco and booze.
are you suggesting that spunk is addicted to weed
Drugs are as much a part of this society and culture as religion and art. The three go very well together, when they are not manipulated by higher forces.
The line must be drawn somewhere otherwise it will keep moving. Give an inch they will want a yard. Marajuana however compared to alcohol is a drug that adversely affects ones judgement.
People will get it anyway. If you tax it people will sue the government when they abuse it.
The idea is to persuade kids and irresponsible dead weights of society to use something else recrationally like a fitness.
For medical purposes I may be inclined to agree. Of course all the slackers will want permits like handicap placards.
Society is already a mess why add marajuana to further lower the bar?
That's where personal moral opinion plagues the concept of freedom. I'll be exploring this more deeply as people mistakenly make similar remarks about why prohibition is necessary for the well being of society. Somehow people have this idea that they can tell others what they should be doing with their lives by intimidation. Not in America, people.
