You're conflating alcoholics - definitionally people with substance abuse problems - with all cannabis users. Have a think, consider whether that's logical, setting aside your valid emotions about the topic.
If a parent can have a glass of wine after the kids are in bed, why not an edible?
Workers' productivity is a performance management issue for employers, not something to be addressed with state violence.
- rayiner 2y ago> You're conflating alcoholics - definitionally people with substance abuse problems - with all cannabis users. I’m not conflating them, I’m comparing them. Based on my anecdotal observations, people have less command over their addictive behaviors (whether it’s alcohol or weed) than they think. > If a parent can have a glass of wine after the kids are in bed, why not an edible? Because people don’t have as much control over themselves as you want to believe. People would be better parents if nobody drank. > Workers' productivity is a performance management issue for employers, not something to be addressed with state violence. Worker productivity creates the resources available to take care of the community. That’s not any less true in a modern tax-funded welfare state than in a third world village. When half your income is going to the government, the government (which is just a proxy for the community) has a strong interest in people being productive.
- triceratops 2y agoThere's a scary, authoritarian vibe to your entire post.
- rayiner 2y agoMy view isn’t authoritarian outside libertarian strongholds like San Francisco. I basically just agree with folks in Sweden or Japan.
