@Fadamor, you assert "they KILL". That is fallacious. Foolish people can kill themselves still do no harm to you or me. There are already plenty of laws governing such things as driving while intoxicated, when actual harm is caused. Please explain why there should be laws against sitting in one's living room while intoxicated. "For our own good"??? I'll take care of myself, thanks just the same.

Foolish laws proscribe normal people's desires to do things that, when done responsibly, are quite harmless at worst and arguably beneficial. "Organized criminals" subvert those laws for a price. Time to stop doing what hasn't been working, then they won't have black market money to launder because the market will be Free.

actually that's quite a kook, and I hope the goofy girl and many others will learn from what, if it were a skit on a comedy show, might be pretty funny. Kook's already lucky he didn't go into the wrong house. Sad, but I don't think we can do much to help poor Kook become sane

"Everybody knows, them dang hippies just want to commit recreation, and it's a SEEEEE-YUN!!" (That's a "sin", for those of you not familiar with Southern pronunciation.) "We ain't tryin to legislate morality, we're tryin to legislate against immorality, cain't you understand the difference? We wouldn't have all this prison overcrowding if them hippies would just do as they're told!" 大麻禁止法律はでたらめだ。。。
