warranto

Guess what, you are arguing for the legality of drugs... NOT the legality to use it in your own home. There is a HUGE difference there.

Pulling arguments out of our ass, are we?

warranto

Using drugs in public DOES affect my right to be free from that kind of influence. IT may not impede on my specific rights at any given time, but unless you are suggesting I stay in my house, there is the potential that it will. All I have to do is walk outside, near someone who is smoking it. THEN it affects my right to be free from that influence.

Hence why I support that being ILLEGAL. How many times do I have to say it? Apparently I still have to.

warranto

The same is said for the law. The external threat of pot is the altered brain chemistry that may affect someone else. Stop it at its source, and you no longer have to worry about it.

Again, why are you trying to make authorities into being a preventative force? If my brain isn't fucked up, why assume that it WILL be? Could it be? Sure, but it isn't, so don't punish me for something that hasn't happened.

warranto

An automobile is controlled by humans, therefore if a human is of the sort that will hurt others by being in the vehicle, stop the human from driving.

How are you going to prevent them from driving? Random stops along the road? Nope, that won't have detrimental effects.

warranto

Oh, I understand why people should be responsible for themselves, the problem is that people ARE NOT ACCEPTING that responsibility. I bet, with 100% certainty, that should you ever get into legal trouble for committing an act while high, you will claim that you should not be responsible because you were high at the time and did not know what you were doing. People already do that with Alcohol, what makes you think pot will be any different?

Let's make baseless assumptions! I take full responsibility for my actions whether or not I get in trouble for them. I was in legal trouble because I was caught stealing. I wasn't the one who came up with the brilliant (and incredibly fallible) plan, and I was gullible at that time during my life. However, that's not an excuse, and I would never use that as an excuse. I was 17 at the time, so I had the maturity to not be so stupid.

warranto

If it flies for this, it flies for everything someone would want to do. Are you sure you want to admit that? I'm a legal adult deciding my own fate. I should be allowed to kill as well.

You have yet to provide an argument that can not be extended to allow violent crimes as well.

PLEASE try and read what I say. I've explained SEVERAL times why it should not be extended to violent crimes. I guess I'm going to have to say it again: the simple reason why my reasoning doesn't get extended to that is because those crimes IMPEDE on the rights of others.

warranto

The difference is that the simple act of eating, leaving the house, showering, going to bed, watching TV, accessing the internet, and yes, even smoking (whatever) does not affect anyone to any extent. Guess what? There are reasons why trans fats are becoming illegal and tobacco smoking is becoming illegal... because they harm to an excessive extent."Eating" does not, by nature, harm to any extent. Eating certain types of food do that regardless of how little is eaten. "smoking" by default, does not harm the body (for argument's sake). Smoking certain things, however, does. Changing your brain chemistry does the same thing during the time you are high. Harm to the extent of a reduction of mental capabilities to that of ignorance during the time the person is high.

Quote:

This is what responsibility is all about. Making the decisions on your own and suffering the consequences of your actions.

Then accept the responsibility that it is illegal, and stop making excuses as to why you do not like the law.

Again, driving under the influence is and SHOULD REMAIN illegal for those reasons. Alcohol is legal, but drunk driving is illegal, and there's no reason why legalizing drugs would make it legal to drive under the influence.

whoa.
