Colorado legalized marijuana??

I'll tell you what. Most think of this as a victory. I look at it a little different. I don't think the government had any business telling us what we can do in our own homes in the first place. I look at this more like putting government back in it's place

Disagree. I find marijuana harmless. If you wanna smoke it in your own home, then so be it. I don't know too many people that become addicts or degenerates because of marijuana and I find that "gateway drug" statement a bunch of bs. However, when it comes to harder and more highly addictive substances like Heroin or Meth, the government should have the right to tell you what to do in your own home. Those two substances ruin several lives and turn them into compulsive degenerates, which leads to them doing illegal things outside of their home that can have a harmful impact on others (stealing, breaking and entering, murder, etc....)

Mate,

Please reread what I wrote. It seems you only read the first sentenance and formed an opinion. I think if you reread what I wrote, you will recant your rebuttal?

Cheers!

I just reread it 3x. My opinion still stands. You say, quote on quote "I don't think the government had any business telling us what we can do in our own homes in the first place." and I gave my reasoning for why I disagree. If you used the words "as long as we are not hurting/harming others" then I would have agreed with your post...

ok, now Im confused. we are talking about marijuana right? My position is that the government has no right to tell me what i can or cannot do in my own home so long as i am not hurting anyone. And this includes partaking of the herb if that is my choice. (personally, i do not partake, but if you are in your home and want to, then i will support your right to be able to decide for yourself)

How is this disagreeing with you?

Please foregive me, as I have been known to be a little slow from time to time! =)

I'm thinking Bronzer started celebrating a little early.

What's so bad about legalizing weed? Weren't there all those conspiracy theories and what not as to why the US government didn't want weed legalized? I'm Australian so I don't know much about the US government and its dealings sorry.

OH, I see now. You know, i usually (well, almost ALWAYS) put that in there, the caveat where "so long as others are not getting hurt".

I must have forgot to add that, although that is exactly what I was thinking.

Thanks for pointing that out! =)
