I have to agree with TM7 on this legalizing something and then making even more laws that violate even more rights. If your going legalize it just really do it all the way, or leave it illegal. Knee jerk legislation is always followed by more knee jerk legislation because they never think things out in the first place.
Michigan is in a tizzy here already, they legalized pot for medical purpose....but get this, it's illegal to buy seeds or pot, feds can bust you, and some spoke person for the feds says...well, we probably would not convict the card carriers...PROBABLY NOT?? Oh, lets trust them...sure.
So...I propose that allowing short sighted, untrue stereotypes be taught to our children by parents, teacher, LEO's (DARE) etc... is a large part of what is undermining these groups authority with their children.
Agreed WylieKy ....tell kids the truth about it all. Drinking 10 bottles of coke a day could kill you, all that suger, and you can't even sweat it out on a hot day...ya your addicted big time, that's why you get headaches when you don't get your fix. Coca-cola will kill you.
Pot...ok kids, not phisically addicting...but it MIGHT make you a lazy bum or lose your focus in life, since it's illegal you could get busted, you won't be able to carry a gun, maybe even have a gun, or go shooting, or hunting...and if I think your buzzed with guns I'll call the cops myself and that will affect you for the rest of your days, and I know you love guns as much as I do because you grew up with with them. So go look at those rifles you have now and think of all the ones you plan on buying, and then tell me again how you want to be able to carry a gun when your 21...because none of that might happen if you smoke pot.
Tell them that!
