Personally I just can’t stand being around places that smell like weed. Its gross and harmful to your brain. I think the biggest problem with it is that because it is so commonly used it is having such a negative effect on society. If only a small amount of people used it then you could make the case that they are just doing their thing and not hurting anyone. When you have such a widespread addiction to it, it creates a real dent in the country. Marijuana has been shown to degenerate brain cells over time and lead to early on set dementia. People who use marijuana are less likely to be motivated to find a job or to behave appropriately in society, while being more likely to commit other unrelated crimes.

I like you Charlie but we will have to agree to disagree on this one. As a recovering alcoholic i can speak from experience alcohol is ten times worse than weed. I also worked in the Florida Senate in college. The amount of state senators and representatives that were drunk by the end of business for the day was mind staggering.

I lived in Colorado Springs when they decriminalized it. I was a single man, and I would go to my neighbors apartment and they would smoke and I would drink my beers (I am a truck driver so I can't smoke) and we'd talk. Their very autistic 3 year old boy opened the door and was running out into the very busy street. Me, rather drunkly, noticed this and went and picked his little butt up and brought him back. Nobody else noticed. They were all stoned. I am pretty libertarian, and what other folks do is none of my business. But if my property that I pay for stinks like a skunk, that effects me. If your dog barks at my kids in my yard that effects me. If you're a dude in a dress and you expect me to call you ma'am, that effects me. I don't care what people go do with themselves or other consenting adults. Thankfully, I live in Oklahoma, and I rarely go by a place that stinks like skunk. And when the neighbors dogs start scaring my kids I give my kids some fireworks. If you can't keep your things to yourself and your property, don't expect anyone else to.

When you boil it all down, the government’s sole purpose under the Constitution is to protect our rights. NOT to tell us what we can and cannot do. Laws are supposed to punish those who infringe on the rights of others. It has nothing to do with feelings. But we seem to forget freedom can be dangerous. For example, DUI checkpoints are totally unconstitutional. While trying to prevent DUI is a noble thing, it is totally unconstitutional. Someone will always respond to this by saying what if a drunk driver killed your loved one. I agree that is a tragedy I’ve never experienced. But it goes back to the freedom can be dangerous. If all people were properly punished for infringing upon the rights of others without exception, the United States would be the perfect place.
