Too bad there isn't a third of option of "The government stays out of people's personal lives." That almost smacks of a free country or something.
The alcohol argument is a red herring.........I don't want either a drunk or drug user to have guns. The majority of shootings in the country are behind drugs and most murders are committed while people are under the influence of alcohol, drugs or both. The difference is you can drink a beer without being a drunk. The only reason to use recreational drugs is to get high. That fact alone is reason enough for the seemingly double standard. we have a common response to anti's here that the gun isn't the problem, it is the man behind it........why would any sane person allow a mentally impaired (drunk or drugged) person to have or use a firearm.
Was that a sentence? Better have another toke and leave the guns in the safe.You remind me of 'Reefer Madness', too bad nobody will kidnap you and get you high, then you could put all that 'hot air' towards a valuable topic, like hating intolerant muslims

I have no problem with the plant.........(the same as a gun).........it is the people that use it that are the problem. I have dealt with more than my share. I had the pleasure of getting several of my troops out of jail after they used it......just long enough to discharge them......and if I ever find an employee using....anytime.....they are immediately fired. There is no reason to accept the liability of having a druggie around. They are absolutely untrustworthy.......a fact further illustrated by mandatory drug testing requirements in trades like truck driving, and in professional pilots where clear thinking is required.I'm sorry you choose to hate and fear marijuana
I frequently struggle with dizziness from low blood pressure in the last years. I won't drive while having the problem......I can't imagine voluntarily taking a drug or excessive alcohol to bring on the effect that I fight so often. It has never made sense to me even when I was young and dumb.

It is anything but a victimless crime. The Weekley Standard magazine recently did a major article about the effects of marijuana in states where it has been legalized or even decriminalized. Every social problem that humans have increased to near epidemic levels in those states, Homelessness, impaired driving, property crimes, welfare rolls have swelled, child abuse and even other violent crimes like assault and rape have had extreme increases. Recreational drug use of any kind is counter productive to a good society. It has been illustrated and proven over and over in human history. The cost of these issues have far outstripped any tax revenue argument promoted by the advocates.
I had an employee that did thousands of dollars of damage while driving a large front-end loader while under the influence of MJ. He had a Medical Marijauna card and never disclosed that he was using. He had passed a pre-employment drug test. Fortunately, no one was injured, but a small building was a total loss. He said he didn't see the building.
Use of weed can harm others, and responsible use is necessary.
