DEBATE: if alcohol is legal, why shouldn't marijuana be?

I don't see that happening at all.

What I do foresee is an expansion of the welfare state to support a laze about pothead constituency.

As I've said repeatedly; eliminate the welfare state like a good small government conservative, and we can talk intelligently about legalizing marijuana. Horse always goes before cart.

I think we can win by by applying some real-life penalties with teeth in them.... cancellation of welfare bennies would be a superb start. The sort of things needed to win are just the sort of things you liberals will never allow.

Here's a small tale from here in the big city. NYC is trying to fill a bunch of school crossing guard positions in the poorest neighborhoods here. It's a part-time job that pays about $13 an hour, but provides full benefits. The job basically entails waking up, going down to a corner a block or two away, crossing some school children safely, and returning back at the end of the day to do the same thing at dismissal.

Why can't NYC fill these highly publicized vacancies? Which, btw, offer the optimal convenience for single mothers... you'd be off from work when your kids are off from school...

The answer is that there are not enough applicants passing the entry-level drug test...

Wrong as usual. FedCo shouldn't regulate it at all, and the legality of it's use should be a matter for the individual States.

This, by the way, is exactly my position on most issue, and you may use gay marriage as an example.

Rune, why are you always so fucking wrong?

Do you support your state legalizing marijuana?
 
Taft2016 said:
If marijuana is legal, why shouldn't opioids like Oxycontin be?

If opioids are legal, why shouldn't cocaine be?

If cocaine is legal, why shouldn't heroin be?

If gay marriage is legal, why shouldn't polygamy be?

If polygamy is legal, why shouldn't incest be?

The arguments progressives make in their ceaseless quest for "progress" contradict all the actual progress civilization has made in progressing us out of anarchy into civilized and polite societies.

So you think it should be legal or illegal?

OK. But why can't you admit that you fucked up solely because of one person: you. Instead you blame me. Then you claim you don't give a fuck...

There is no connection. If there is any its that the drug war creates a burden for those seeking work after an arrest, destroys what would be a job providing market and the spending drains the economy. As a small government guy I think we are going to have to end the drug war before we consider changes to welfare. Horse always goes before the cart.
