Because, as we all know, the fact that making smoking marijuana legal means they are only going to smoke it inside when they are alone...

right...

Why would that be much different than alcohol? I don't go drinking while walking down the street. I drink it while at home or in a bar with a few friends around me.

Hey, you're the one who was disagreeing with the argument about a minority controlling the law (to summarize it). Why else would you have called me stupid for making that point if you didn't agree with the opposition?

I called you stupid? When?

Again, I made it clear that the act doesn't guarantee that someone else's rights are being impeded on.

warranto

Ah, but why should they be allowed to do an act in public if it is doing it in public that causes the problem in the first place? I mean, seriously... "getting high" is ok, but "causing an accident because you are high" is not? Why put even more strain on the already over-burdened police force on controlling the action of those who are high when it can be stopped at the source? (Wait... I thought legalizing it would relieve the strain on the police... guess not, it just means they go from "arresting those who use" to "giving out tickets to those who use while doing something they shouldn't be while high".

Besides, you yourself just said it can cause people to do stupid things... I thought this wasn't a harmful drug?

I never said that they should be allowed to smoke or drink in public. Though, I'm not seeing why one shouldn't be able to.

Being drunk or high doesn't necessarily make you a danger to society. Driving impaired, on the other hand, is much more detrimental to others than being slightly intoxicated while in public.

Over-burdened police force? The police around here have to pull people over to meet their ticket-quotas for the month. If anything, they have too much time on their hands. I'm sure my county isn't an anomaly.

Can it be stopped at the source? If the past 3 decades have been any indication of things... there's no chance in Hell it can be stopped. The War on Drugs hasn't been successful, isn't successful, and shows no signs of being successful.

Edit: I realize that you don't smoke alcohol... you drink it. >.>


whoa.
