As I sit here, drinking a beer (because it's legal), I can't help but to think that the day the US declared a "war on drugs" was the day that we lost the fight. Bottom line...it's illegal. Can anyone tell me why the beer I am drinking RIGHT NOW is legal and, the joint my neighbor may be smoking right now isn't? Who has longer lasting effects? My head may hurt tomorrow and, even without a beer, I won't graduate from Harvard! His may hurt as well. What is the difference?
Not one time did I hear anyone mention that going to work under any sort of intoxication was a good idea. Not one time did I see mentioned that a mother-to-be should smoke weed or, do cocaine. Not one time did I see mentioned that a parent, alone with their kids, should get drunk or, stoned.
For me, what it boils down to is, going into a man's home and, telling him what to do. What is the difference between me drinking a 12 pack last night or, my neighbor smoking a joint? I guarantee you, even if he smoked a joint, he didn't burn an LSU flag just because they lost a game! Heck, he probably burned a J with the O line after the game!
