Quote by: caphis  Fact is, anyone of any age can get their hands on pot right now, if they want to. The fact that it's illegal isn't stopping anyone from doing so; in fact, it's probably making it more dangerous. Shady drug deals happen in back alleys and people are killed over it. Every day. |
Just because they can get their hands on it doesn't make it any less harmful or illegal. And on the mention of cigarettes and guns they should be legally restricted to the point of ban on manufacture and possession as well.

This bill won't make it any easier for your kids to get or possess pot than it already is. This bill will do a lot to protect the adults who make the choice to engage in recreational pot smoking. As an added bonus, if states follow suit, your local police will be able to spend less time tracking down Johnny Smokesablunt and spend more time focusing on harder drugs that will do more to screw up your kid's future than pot will.

If the libertarians like RP get their way with this then sure to follow is the legalization of cocaine and other drugs all under the fairytale assumption it will reduce crime and somehow benefit the country. No, this should be stopped dead in its tracks. This is the just the first step in the direction of saying the government doesn't have a right to better people's lives.
