Quote by: Chaossaber314  These two paragraphs are contradictory. If the government doesn't have a right to restrict things in order to better peoples' lives than all drugs including the ones even you have deemed dangerous should be legalized as well. |
They're not contradictory. The first points out the fallacious argument that a slippery slope will form if we start getting soft on marijuana.
The second is merely opinion and has little to do with the first. The government has clearly exerted a right to better people's lives, though I disagree that they should be doing that to begin with.
