Do I think pot should be illegal because it already is illegal, and I'm appealing to an existing authority, or do I have a concrete argument as to why it should be illegal? Why should the opinion of any one man carry such weight for any reason other than the content of that man's opinion?
Making pot legal is the simplest way to solve the problem, because it turns an issue that needs to be solved into a non-issue. What are the consequences of pot legalization that are unbearable for this man?
- greglindahl 9y ago"this man" is a cog in the machine, not the person who gets to decide what policy is. Because there is no such single person, it's a matter of laws passed by Congress.
- anonytrary 9y agoWhile true, I think it is also too easy for any one cog to "forget" to oil itself at the start of the day.
