whenever i confront one i get the dance about..."well they are legal"....but i very seldom get one saying how they would say yes to those 2 being made illegal right now,all i get is a dance around that question...which tells me that they either drink or smoke....i worked with a guy who was pretty anti pot but yet at least 3 times a week he would buy a 6 pack after work....and down the whole thing that evening...and i knew this because his wife told us.....It depends on who you ask. And if you never see any of us advocating for a ban on those products, you haven't been asking enough people. Tobacco presents a social health problem but the problem isn't tobacco, it's socialized medicine that forces the non smoker to pay for the medical bills of the smoker.yet i never see you anti-pot people ever say they would like to see alcohol and cigarettes,2 things that have been proven to be killers, made illegal either,why is that?.....You potheads think you're making some kind of argument pointing out the blight of alcohol on society, but you seem miss, in your pot addled haze, the illogic of adding to that danger by increasing the venues of mental incapacitation. Saying that drunk drivers makes it ok to heap on baked drivers makes zero sense.alcohol is responsible for many more deaths and destruction.....so there goes your argument reefer madness aficionado...Alcohol is legal pot is not.So then shouldn't it be assumed that everyone who is old enough to drink is drunk all the time and should be denied a firearm?
And an occasional pot smoker is not a drug addict anymore than an occasional drinker is an alcoholic
There goes your argument, Panama Red
Unless you're a pothead.
Isn't it ironic that Leftists work overtime to ban tobacco wherever they can, but push for the legalization of pot? A whole new thread can be opened on that.
And alcohol presents a public danger that tobacco doesn't. Drunk driving is not punished harshly enough and not enough is done to prevent it. I think that bars and nightclubs should be held criminally responsible for customers who drive home drunk. They would make absolutely certain that nobody leaves drunk with their car keys.
My opposition to pot is the same as my opposition to alcohol. People don't use these products responsibly in the privacy of their home. And when my family is endangered by motorists, truck drivers, crane operators, surgeons, teachers, police officers, or ANYONE inebriated by drugs or alcohol, it becomes my business whether these things should be legal and under what circumstances.
