Common sense for trying to justify non-adaptive behavior?

This is the scariest thing I've read in a while. Having the freedom of choice to do what you want as long as there's no victim, and then making a choice.. is non-adaptive behavior? Wowza. Spooky.

The real question that has to be answered is why one would feel entitled to being high all the time. THAT's the real mind control, and people pay for it willingly, preferring fantasy to fact.

Why don't you find one person on Earth who claims to be entitled to being high all the time and ask them? I haven't met one yet.. have you?

THAT'S the real mind control? Care to explain how that controls the mind?? Cannabis has been here and been used as a narcotic, textile, and medicine for longer than Christianity has been a conceivable thought... drug war propaganda has been going since the 20s/30s at its very earliest!

If you want to make (incorrect) blanket statements you should at least try rationalizing them!

Yeah there's a gov't conspiracy to make people weak, lazy and uneducated, and people pay for it willingly.
In a real preindustrial environment, being intoxicated could be a fatal event due to some omission or commission.

Must not be talking about cannabis here. Spitting out the propaganda they have for the last 70 to 80 years is exactly what you speak of concerning the government keeping us uneducated. And you're doing so willingly. Sad.

Survival is hard enough straight. WHY chose to be f'd up?

Ask the trillions of human beings over time who have been getting high for the last 10,000 years.

The american expectation of unlimited safety nets and do-overs for intentionally screwing up and screwing off is about over...

Where did anyone ask for safety nets or a do-over? We would love nothing more than there to be NO safety net when it comes to this issue. Freedom of choice for something that effects no one but them...

You can not make laws protecting someone from themself. Even more so applies to this case when this kind of prohibition was born out of greed and racism, without one shred of evidence cannabis prohibition protects the individual from any horrific self inflicted damage.

I see a lot of misunderstanding in your post. Perhaps you should stick to reading what people are saying and respond to that, you don't need to make up things that someone said this or that... your response looked like it was plucked from thin air in response to a deadbeat who said "maaannnnn I just waannnaa gett higghhhh maannnnnn allll dayyy everyyy dayyy yeaahhh duuuude!"... which I've never seen anyone say here, or in "real life.".. and also try to use some substantiated evidence when you're trying to make a point like that if you want anyone to believe you.

You need to look at your history a little bit more. The main force behind the criminialization of pot was William Randolph Hearst. Hearst owned a chain of newspapers and was into the logging industry. His interest in logging started with his purchase of several paper mills to provide cheap paper for his newspapers. At this time several paper mills were using hemp to make paper, so to reduce competition and to make his logging companies more profitable Hearst started on a crusade against hemp. Hearst pushed the association of hemp with pot and then pushed to make both illegal. As his newspapers reached millions, it didn't take too long for people to pressure politicians into passing laws making pot and hemp illegal.

Its rather arrogant for for any major politician to so easily blame the united states citizens for 'substance abuse' when ouor own governemnt is known for bringing in the drugs in the first place, then making it illegal and arresting its own citizens. makes me wonder, how much coke Hillary herself did/does..or any other politician for that matter, that makes the laws governing us.
