If this was about the children, the same people trying to keep marijuana illegal should be trying to make tobacco and alcohol illegal. Oh wait, that didn't work.

Maybe parents should stop having sex too, because that might send the wrong message to kids. Maybe doctors should stop operating on patients, because it might teach kids that "operating on people is ok". Maybe we should have everyone stop driving cars, because kids will just imitate that as well.

"For the Kids" is a ridiculous argument, that's why we have certain laws preventing kids from doing certain things in the first place. If all laws prevented adults from doing things that children shouldn't be doing:

#1 - We wouldn't be here
#2 - Age specific laws wouldn't be in place, as anything that would be illegal for a kid would also be illegal for an adult

But guess what, we do have age specific laws, so why can't we use them in a case where it makes sense, like marijuana reform?
Hardcore Newbie Reviewed by Hardcore Newbie on . NO LOGICAL REASON TO PUNISH ADULTS FOR USING MARIJUANA OVER ALCOHOL I read this article, and I very strongly agree with it, just thought I'd share it. http://www.mapinc.org/newsnorml/v06/n1416/a06.html That's a preview of the strongest argument opponents of Amendment 44 - - the Alcohol-Marijuana Equalization Initiative - will put forth in the last two weeks of the campaign. Don't expect an open and honest discussion about the merits of making marijuana possession legal for adults. Instead, expect every possible scare tactic related to children you Rating: 5
