Funny how it always seems to be the "keep government off our backs" folks who argue most vociferously for government interference in people's recreation.

It seems the main issue is that many people who do harder drugs will tell you that they started smoking pot , like the gateway drug , so if you legalize it thats ok if people just smoke that , yet if it is a starting point to doing harder drugs then you got a much larger issue on your hands .

Think about the children.

Yeah that is funny but I haven't seen that in this thread.

Fortunately being American affords us certain personal liberites. We seem to have a fondness for Guns, booze, and weed. Taken in moderation and under the right circumstances none of them is inherently harmful, and we seem to be unwilling to give any of them up entirely and I'm OK with that.

Red herring. It's the illegality that's the gateway to other illegalities. There's no governance or even guidence in the black market. There's no controls at all. Everything's outside the law, & law enforcement becomes the common enemy of everyone involved in any part of it. If the terminally self-righteous would stop being able to control how people have fun, the problems associated with prohibition would go away.

If anything was going to cause us to "lose a generation" it would more likely be all those pharmaceuticals they are giving to children. So many kids these days are being prescribed shit like ritalin, or even anti-depressants, and they have no idea what the long term effects will be since their brains are still developing.

As for weed, all I know is that it was much harder for me to get alcohol as a minor, than it was to get marijuana. Drug dealers don't care if you're under 21. Legalize it, tax it, don't let businesses sell to anyone under 21, and use some of the tax revenue to pay for treatment.

very true view...

IMHO....We need to stop clogging up the courts and wasting law enforcement time by fucking with people in possession of small quantities of pot. I'd prefer law enforcement spend their time more productively. It's asinine, and counter productive and the only thing it's doing is bringing in revenue for stressed local budgets. I'm not entirely sure legalization is the answer, but my nephew had a half a joint in the ashtray of his car on one of those "routine traffic stops" and you would have thought these asshole cops had just busted the head of a Mexican drug cartel. I bailed him out and laughed in their faces. I'm not anti cop....just anti asshole cop.
