Sweet. I'm glad they are talking about it. The problem is, a large percentage of those "freedom loving", "small government", "state's rights", conservatives will be against it.

Only because cocaine and heroin will soon follow.
Huh? Why will those follow?

So what. It's none of your business what I do.
Thirty years ago, you would have laughed if someone told you one day two gay guys could get married, a guy could do what OJ did and get away with it, and marijuana would be legal.
Legalizing pot opens a Pandora's box.
One day we'll be debating legalizing polygamy and marrying farm animals. And we'll be debating legalizing recreational narcotic use altogether.
Legalize it!
How many people smoke tobacco?
What is worse something that is grown from the ground
or something chemical?
I would have to say natural.
Yeah actually it is in this case.
However, drug addiction and all related crime does directly affect me, not only through taxes, but in having to live in or near those neighborhoods.
I support legalizing pot, and not just this "medicinal" fagot bull****, but "because I want to get pie-faced because I can" recreational use, just like liquor. Your argument does not do the cause any favors.
No, it's not. If I am not violating your life, liberty or property it's none of your business. You have no moral authority to interfere with my life. That's what separates real freedom from the "freedom" Conservatives tout. The "freedom" to do only what conservatives approve of is not freedom.
Neighborhoods cannot be addicted to drugs. In any event, millions are addicted to drugs in this country, both legal and illegal. So you not liking it doesn't seem to be helping. And, again, it's none of your business.
I'm more concerned with my argument being logically consistent and correct than in being politically correct about. My body does not belong to you or the Nanny state and as such what I choose to put in it is not your issue to worry about. Otherwise, to be consistent, we need to start banning all sorts of crap that is "bad" for people.
Make no mistake, once it's legalized it will be heavily regulated and altered just like tobacco. Chances are distribution without a license will still be illegal, and the legal cigarettes will have every bit as many toxins as tobacco cigarettes do now.
However, just as you can buy tobacco and roll it yourself, I strongly believe you will be able to do the same with pot. You should also be able to grow your own, just as you can tobacco, and even brew your own liquor if you have the means.
Tobacco doesn't taste very good in cookiesI agree but I still think It would be more beneficial for a person to smoke pot instead of tobacco.
* smoking nothing is the best of course.
