“And people who are stupid enough to drive while high or drunk are possibly the same set of people who use substances despite their illegality.”
Ahh yes, another area of overlap between this and the gun debate: “people will break the law anyway, so we might as well just have no law.” Clearly there are more drunk drivers than high drivers; nobody denies that. I think pretty simple logic suggests that that’s because alcohol is legal and available in bars. The illegality of pot forces users to use it privately. If it were legal and there were pot-bars, there would obviously be more DUI incidents with it.
If you all admit that tobacco and alcohol are bad, why are you advocating for introducing a third, bad thing into the mix? Is it just that you think if people are going to harm their health and that of others, they deserve to have more options of how to do it? Or, is it the more likely reality that you have all gotten so used to arguing the liberal side of every point that you’re virtually incapable of having a real, personal opinion that is in line with your own beliefs instead of those of the greater leftist cause?
