DiamondDave, being a conservative, how do you reconcile that with believing that the government should regulate what you put in your own body?
there is no benefit at all to legalizing this illegal drug
1) I am not for legalizing something just for potential tax revenue
All have good reasons for being illegal.2) Kids and people need limits in society... there is right and wrong... just as a 'kid' should be punished for DUI, or drunk in public,
or for huffing glue, or making crystal meth from sudafed, or taking heroin, or whatever... so they should be punished for the use of pot and anything related to it's use and distribution, as it is illegal
3) If they do try and criminalize tobacco, shitstorm or not, I would not fight it or scream bloody murder.. do I think it will happen in my lifetime? No... but because it is legal, does not mean that we change the legality of something that has zero positive benefits
4) No benefit, other than some very rare uses for medicinal purposes (which are handled by the drug marinol, which is legally prescribed) have been shown whatsoever... not one.. zilch.. nada.. again, I do not support decriminalizing for the sake of a high
We regulate that you cannot put other drugs into your system as well... we regulate that it is a crime to stick your dick up a chicken's ass... we have it that you cannot have your personal jollies with a dead body (which also only effects you as the only other live person)... we have it as a crime to actually try and kill yourself.. we have it as a crime even, punishable to smoke in a public place around others, with a product that does not have the level of mind altering effects that pot does...
A main difference between something like pot, which many of you seem to deem harmless, and alcohol is that when you take a drink of scotch, nobody sitting next to you is going to get any sort of direct effect from that... not to mention no positive benefits from marijuana, except (as stated) the rare benefit to the rare case in some medicinal uses which is taken care of with marinol...
Even as a conservative there are reasons to restrict.... for societal benefit, preservation of rights of others besides you, etc... which is a main concept of our style of government... you have personal freedoms but cannot infringe on the freedoms of others, cause the harm of others, cause the harm of society, etc just to exercise your freedom... upholding freedom does not mean an approach of anarchy where anyone can do whatever the hell they want, 'others and society be dammed'... don't confuse conservatism with anarchy or unbridled libertarianism
If an adult wants to take any drug for whatever reason, I don't have a problem with it. If they put anyone in danger, like driving a vehicle while under the influence, the punishment should be so severe that they don't dare do it.
That's the problem, people just don't seem to care about the consequences anymore, drunk drivers get a fucking slap on the wrist for killing someone, they should be tried as murderers for it really.
