Nobody likes shitty parents or people which is essentially what you're saying. Legalizing marijuana isn't going to create or eliminate bad people. It is going to save us money and it is the right thing to do.
You're right. And I acknowledge that you could just about substitute alcohol or tobacco or prescription pain killers in any of the sentiments in my rant. Weed is just an easy target on my radar at the moment. Maybe I'm just a judgmental prick. I just wish people would use (and not abuse) their drug of choice) in the comfort of their own home.
It's amazing that this isn't a larger issue nationally. This is the power of interests at hand. I've been impressed with the atheist/secular humanists movement in the US. It seems to have some focus of late. I wish the same type of focus would be brought to the legalization of drugs in the US. Someone call Jon Stewart and Colbert and get them on this.
