Medical Marijuana--

[Alex]

I support unfettered access by adults to whatever drugs they want for any purpose they want. If an adult wants to ignore his family and spend weeks at a time coked out in his basement. I'm ok with that.

If in the process of doing so, he puts his children at risk of physical danger. Then that should be punished, not the drug taking. If he puts others at risk by driving impaired (for whatever reason) then that behavior should be punished, not the drug taking.

I include in this all of the illegal drugs as well as all of the prescription drugs.

Yes, drugs will be the mechanism by which people do bad things to themselves and others. But there are manifold ways of doing that anyway.

I agree entirely. Don't be on the roads if you're not fit to drive. Don't come to work impaired. Don't be irresponsible. Yes, people will be irresponsible, but that's the crime, not so much the vehicle of the irresponsibility.
