People still commit murder although it's not legal. Those who want to murder are going to murder. Based on this logically bereft argument that drugs should be legal because people are still going to do them should we then legalize murder?

It went sideways long before I responded to those comments that had nothing to do with Sam being charged

Pretty clear we've got some pot heads commenting about their "right" to get high. In Texas people receive the charge POM < 2oz.... It happens multiple times a day every day. Our society is spiraling while those sending it down the crapper think it's due to their enlightenment. Such a destructive way to think.

You're for a violence enabled (legally) society? I know for a fact some would've tried to beat me. I've been enraged before wanting to bust someone in the face. It wasn't the law that stopped me. It was my faith.

In fact, I was invited to fight just today. An extremely rare occurrence but interesting considering the written Convo.

You're right. They haven't. This is the kind of argument that grates me to no end.

People still commit murder although it's not legal. Those who want to murder are going to murder. Based on this logically bereft argument that drugs should be legal because people are still going to do them should we then legalize murder? The fact that we have a morally bankrupt society that wants to go through life high doesn't mean it should be enabled. I don't want to deal with drunk and high people out wandering the streets. We have public intoxication laws to protect from that.

Personally, I'll never understand what drives a person to want to get drunk or high. Life might suck but deal with it. I never meant to imply having a glass of bourbon meant you weren't. We all know the difference between someone who drinks to get buzzed or drunk vs. someone who just enjoys it. I would argue that if you took the buzz angle away from alcohol close to 100% would stop consuming it. Non alcoholic beverages only sell to recovering alcoholics and those who don't drink. Those who drink are seeking some form of mood alteration and that fits with escaping from life's ugliness.

uffda is a big government guy, obviously. We need MORE laws, MORE government intrusion because we're all too stupid to responsibly manage ourselves (but somehow the corrupt government is better suited?)! Save us big daddy government, for we would be lost without you! Please tax me more so that you can protect me from pot!

It is a public health issue so why are we making it more available? That's senseless.

Drugs have no place in a moral society. Not sure alcohol does. We have the crisis we have due to availability and legality. Humans are no match for drugs and alcohol. How many lives and relationships have been destroyed by them? It's a choice but a deal with the devil for all who make it. It adds nothing good to anyone's life it just takes but gosh darn it... I have the right to choose even though most are incapable of control or choosing wisely. There is not a second of regret that I never tried drugs and alcohol but I guarantee there are billions who have who regret it.

I do think many people DO need help running their lives but I'm against implementation. Drugs are very different. A person's personal use is NEVER limited to personal. Drug use has a very negative ripple effect and that can't be disputed. Your use affects others and that needs to be mitigated as it's terribly destructive on society cumulatively speaking beyond your own little circle.

A. First, a question: *When* does the state (used here in the broad sense of "any government," not just in the sense of "Wisconsin"; "Iowa"; etc. government) "need" to prohibit/restrict use of a substance? (Circle all that you agree with.)

1. To maintain social order (a/k/a the "police power" to "protect public health and safety."
2. A need for tax revenue.
3. To protect children and others deemed "not legally competent" to make decisions about use.
4. To protect adults against themselves.
5. Other (please specify): ____________________

B. Second, a comment: When does the state have the power to act? Answer: Effectively, any of the above, given that they have a monopoly over the legal use of force to enforce threats.

C. Third, another question: When is it morally legitimate for the state to exercise that power in the context of prohibiting/restricting the use of a particular substance?

D. Fourth, discuss.


And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
