Profoundly....dumbtheir choice.
Fixed it for you
semantics
Perhaps, but context matters.
I think wearing socks and sandals is dumb, but hey, if they want to do it, then go for it.
The current administration under full republican control wants to counter a socks and sandals legalization that was absurd to begin with...because they believe in debunked information through years of research simply because they find it against their personal choice.
The plant in question is a tame drug (when compared to alcohol) but the fuddy duddys in the fed want to make sure you aren't allowed to choose as you so desire to partake or not. Its been shown its non addictive qualities, psychologically neutral to perhaps beneficial (case to case)...but hey, they find it dumb..therefore enforce removing states rights here because...why....why???

FYI. I'm anti-drugs of any form. Less, not more. Less popular. Less accepted. Not more. No compromise.
Thanks Dad, but I'll make my own decisions on my body....you can feel free to do what you want with yours.
No problem, son. Mess with me or mine in your stoned state? You'll be messing with my rights....

Don't 'hate' any of 'em. I fear for the future of this society. This is but one of those fears.
A pox on ALL of them.
The reality is we are a cooperative society. We interact virtually non-stop. There is overlap between 'rights'. My right to a safer environment is also mine to promote.

On the subject of pot, I think it should be legal to do what you want when you want as long as you are not infringing on the rights of others.
On the subject of Trump being a Nazi against pot and the jews?
That's beyond moronic.
A stoned society is a less safe one. Less productive. I say change your life, not the current chemical content of one's brain.
Choice, choice. Here's MY choice. I disagree.
As far as the semantics of state rights, goes, none is supplanted. Jurisdiction rules. If your in Washington St.- I am- don't bring your pot on Federal turf. Your ass will be grass.....

And what happened to the government shouldn't decide for the people?
I can't count how many times I've seen you slam liberals for wanting big government, yet here you are advocating billions spent a year between DEA, DOJ, prisons and taking away billions in revenue for states who have legalized.
What do you say to the states legalizing having less problems with real drugs? Using some of the revenues for schools and rehab programs for people with problems?

Yanks are big enough and ugly enough to get stoned (legally or illegally) all-by-themselves - the law has, is and will continue to be ignored in this regard. No jews, no Trumps, no Sessions and most certainly no politically divisive racists will ever change this little factoid.
There are plenty who do not get stoned, as well. That includes English, Canadians....et al. Many who obey laws. Many who dislike stoners with their 'natural' mind altering chemicals messing with thought, mood, production and even driving.
The rest? I suppose the signal example would be the professional athlete who loses 100s of thousands in pay to indulge. Profoundly....dumb.
Man you must really hate alcohol then. I mean hate with a passion. Do you protest in front of your local package store? Not go to any restaurant that serves the Devil's Drink?
You better or you are just a hypocrite spouting #e.
