Same reason alcohol and cars are allowed? (individually, not intended to imply that they are allowed to be used simultaneously)
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.

New Kereptica: Since power is changed energy over time, an increase in power would mean, in this case, an increase in energy. As energy is equivalent to mass and the density of the government is static, the volume of the government must increase.

Shouldn't people be allowed to do what they want to their own bodies?

1. Not all of them do. Some of them just give certain people a high for a bit.
2. If someone wants to ruin their own life, that's their decision.
America if it didn't get involved in Word War I. And the Marxist ideal of violent revolution was carried out more heavily. And Hoover was assassinated. And loads of other things that eventually lead to fascism.
(But no, not a fascist)

It will make people have the bad side affects and it will interfere with driving and work. Plus now it will be even more prominent on the school yard.

It's still be illegal to drive or be on the job while high, much like driving drunk, and would only be legalized for 21+.



And the bad side effects are highly exaggerated.

1. Please name the aforementioned bad side effects.
2. Please explain how alcohol doesn't do this either.

So I see that you would pass strict seat belt laws, ban smoking, and ban the eating of unhealthy foods?

NO. Also Don't spring the alchohal and cigerette argument on me because I believe they should be banned to.

It's not legal in the United States at all, because federal law supersedes state law; however, the executive branch doesn't appear to pursue these discrepancy.

Edit: I am against this bill.
