I think I agree with you there, I am certainly not advocating impairing yourself and then putting others in immediate danger like with DUI's. And even if fentanyl (and a whole host of other drugs) were legal and FREE I wouldn't use it, because I'm not a complete fool. It all comes down to personal responsibility and self discipline and not everyone has the same level of that, but condemning everyone in advance for something others do on the same substance is an infringement of liberty that I find offensive. Junkies are gonna junk though, and I don't think any kind of legislation is going to stop a determined addict from doing the shit they do. Lumping marijuana with schedule 1 drugs like heroin is ludicrous and using marijuana as a pretext to fill our prisons is abominable.
Now, the big question(s):Have you noticed that the same high-profile people who advocate for legalization are pretty much the same people who also advocate AGAINST personal responsibility?
Than, my fren, is why I am deeply suspicious and antagonistic toward the legalization movement... The GLobalists hijacked it and - as usual - lefties ruin everything.
That's an undeniable fact there, and from what I have heard (I have not read the bill), it contains enough bad things unrelated to decriminalizing marijuana to make me say it's a bad bill, especially the part about where the taxes generated will go.

We agree more than disagree.

Exactly!
Hell - My only interest in the sativa is I dabble in marlinspike and canvas work and hemp fiber makes the BEST canvas and tarred marline.
The seemingly endless usefulness of hemp is the real reason marijuana prohibition was even a thing. Thanks, Dupont!
