When you take off user responsibility is the same when you take off women's responsibility for "accidental" pregnancy...<br /><br />We all know hot that ends and that you can't win a war like that. Someone always profits though...<br /><br />Remember that a whole generation of Americans basically supported itself on the shoulders of great business-man and tech-makers (that made USA economy good from 80's to early 2000's) while most were abusing substance, welfare hanging, single mothering and every attitude that led to the current status where no matter how, USA ends up rolling debt and printing green fake money.<br /><br />What society can live on that? We should take the strict way if we Westerns want to continue to exist.Commenternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-21415260084337643392014-08-14T05:00:26.548-04:002014-08-14T05:00:26.548-04:00I don't think anyone is defending marijuana.

(Although personally I think a responsible, hard working, tax paying adult should be able to do what he damn pleases without government interference.)<br /><br />What I'm criticising are the dreadful drug wars that have cost untold billions and torn our society apart. There are only two groups who benefit from pot remaining illegal: the drug lords and law enforcement, especially the DEA. Everyone else suffers.Robert What?https://www.blogger.com/profile/03863449539859132763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-62426865458220498632014-08-13T22:38:30.816-04:002014-08-13T22:38:30.816-04:00Seems like more modern fagness to me, sorry about ...Seems like more modern fagness to me, sorry about the words. Alcohol has bad effects and drugs are exactly the same. Both make you cr*p over time as you abuse the use of them to ever more amounts, who are never safe for starters.<br /><br />Alcohol is acknowledged as bad for health and society. At poor neighborhoods all the effects are clear. Even marijuana users admit that.<br /><br />Seems strange marijuana users are able to admit the bad effects of alcohol on society, but a substance that leads to the same effects (addiction, abuse, harmful effects and out of mind states) at the same time is cool.<br /><br />No society that heavily abuses substances ever survives. See Europe or the USA. All progressive BS needs welfare and fanfare to survive.<br /><br />Just like feminism, substance-based societies are a fallacy. You need a RICH, POWERFUL, COERCIVE, STEAL FROM THE BEST State that makes your life ever more monitored, restricted and expensive as taxes are ever raised to cover for the endless hole those measures are.<br /><br />Just like feminism wouldn't survive without man's taxes, substance based societies are a fantasy that lasts as long as someone is covering for the negative costs.<br /><br />A men's rights blog defending marihuana (or even alcohol abuse for example) is the same mistake as men's rights defending sexual liberation.<br /><br />We all know how processes start. Would be nice to see USA pay for even more public healthcare. Maybe print more money endlessly at the expense of every other country again?No Marihuananoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-57274518550757356912014-08-13T22:37:19.797-04:002014-08-13T22:37:19.797-04:00We all know the reason that law enforcement wants ...We all know the reason that law enforcement wants pot to remain illegal.

Compared with the social costs of the drug war, these are nothing.<br /><br />"<i>We used marijuana in high school (this was back when an ounce was referred to as a 'lid' and cost $15) and there was not one bad reaction to it. There was a lot of bad reactions to alcohol, though.</i>"<br /><br />I've known people who've had bad reactions to marijuana in the form of acute paranoia, but they just waited for its effects to wear off and then never used it again, so it seems like a problem that pretty quickly fixes itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
