Why are people bothering to try and legitimize cannabis by making it "legal" by which they really mean "Government Regulated", when the entire concept of prohibition is unconstitutional to begin with? The Government has ZERO right to tell a person that they can't enjoy a substance, ANY substance. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. As long as I'm not infringing on anyone else's right to the same, how is it I can be told what I'm doing is illegal? Murder has victims, rape has victims, theft has victims, but without the Government pushing what was originally (and possibly still is) a racist agenda cannabis growing and smoking would have no victims. Prohibition is what allowed the rise of violent criminal enterprises in the first place, so of all the people responsible for drug violence, especially in regards to cannabis, the Government should be named as number one. Driving intoxicated is a crime because you're putting others at risk, sure...but I don't hear half as much bitching and complaining about the damned drunks that go out wrecking up the place as I do about how regulating cannabis would give a green light to "Potheads" to go driving around stoned, which is all bullshit anyway because if you're going to drive intoxicated, YOU'RE NOT WAITING ON A LAW TO SAY YOU CAN, you already have/are/will do it. And that is criminal and can be punished, of course the tests they're suggesting in certain areas are bullshit as we all know you can have THC in your system and not be impaired in any way, seeing as it stays in for long periods of time, so a field sobriety test is obviously the best way to tell. But I don't hear any arguments about how the whole IDEA is Unconstitutional, I hear people talking about working within the law to change the laws. There should be no laws about it at all, because no one, not one goddamned person has the right to tell me what to believe, what to think, how to feel, or how to live and they damned sure don't have the right to tell me what I can and can't ingest, especially in the privacy of my own home.
Rant over.
