Marijuana Issue Solved With Mathematics

[SmokeDog420]

Medical marijuana has always been the fatal compromise because it empowers the therapeutic state and enfeebles the individual. Descriptions such as "relatively safe and non-toxic" are driven home when medical comparison is made to the dangers of table salt. Doctors regularly advise their customers to avoid salt because of its hazardous potential.

Medical marijuana activists appeal to our compassion to remove the ill from the drug-war battlefield. They are fighting a bad cause in bad faith. Compromise will simply prolong the drug war resulting in many more casualties.

Alcohol prohibition was repealed because citizens were ready to reclaim their fundamental right to drink, a right in principle that does not differ from the right to use any substance. Either we have the right to poison and kill ourselves with food, alcohol and drugs or we don't. I argue for individual liberty, personal responsibility, the free market and rule of law. The way to deal with bad laws is by repealing them, not by multiplying them.
