The plant is good...What people will do with it is bad. Your right to grow in your back yard, impedes my right to not want to see it.What about those opposed to black people? Or those who hate Chinese food? No one is talking about FORCING anyone to use or grow it, that would be a liberty issue. Having access to something you don't want is not being denied liberty. Is that hard to understand the difference? Just like you are free to have a camel piss down your throat, but not everyone wants to. That does not mean somehow because you are free to so that I (who does not want to engage in this activity) has had MY liberty impinged. Your throat, your camel, your choice.
You seem OK with cops and politicians worrying about our bedrooms and the plants that could be in them. Those low toxicity plants with medicinal properties. Clearly if we are concerned that there may be some inside a house and need to send SWAT to intervene, they are DEADLY plants!
How is it avoidance of logic to treat agricultural products consistently or to support liberty? Why would it not work the same as tomatoes? Its only a problem if you think the plant is bad and needs to be controlled. Which again, you CLEARLY do.
You are talking about FORCING people to be exposed to your behavior...You hang on swat team intervention, like it happens ALL the time to EVERYONE...taking isolated cases and proclaiming them to be the norm...
Any regulation of anything is wrong according to you..half the people in the country would disagree with your "harmless plant" theory...not all because if the plant, most because of the people that would be allowed to handle the plant..and what they would do with it.
Your selfishness would deny anyone else their rights.
