As I made my shift into adulthood I knew pot really was no big deal, but thought it should be illegal anyways because I didn't fully understand the rights of man. As I matured it became clear to me that we are either free to do as we wish or we are not. At this point was the point in which I decided silly things like the criminalization of a natural herb is foolish and only constrains the rights of free men and women.
Poppy is a natural occurring plant too. So based on your analogy, you think use of opium and heroin is fine too?
What about coca leaves? Just a harmless herb eh?
Nothing wrong with an 18 year old smoking a little crack with ur daughter and going for a drive?
Think about this....marijuana usage and sales remains a violation of federal law, just as cocaine or heroin. This is the prime reason banks and the banking industry will not tender marijuana business cash/transactions in any way, no matter legalization at the state level. But under the liberal Obama administration the last 8 years, the marijuana experiment was allowed to flourish. So how does our POTUS determine just which laws he shall enforce, and which he doesn't? I thought our president's sworn oath at the onset of his administration was to enforce ALL of the federal laws of the USA?
