^^^ Why do you want cannabis legalized?

Do you keep a comb in your pocket to comb your hair? Why would you want government to legalize the comb in your pocket? Get government out of it altogether.

Government doesn't have to legalize something to give you the right to use it. All they have to do is repeal the laws they made against it.

If they legalize it, then they can tax it. Why should you have to pay tax on your own cannabis that you grow in your bathroom window? Bernie wants to screw you, and he has tricked you into thinking that he is your friend.

Cool

I'm with you on the government thing, i'm not fan of them either and i think that taxation is theft. And don't let me get started on that fool Bernie Cheesy

But there is a different issue when it comes to cannabis, and it is there whether you think we should be able to grow our own cannabis or not, and that is amount of money that is spent on so called " war on drugs" that America is loosing all those years.Hundreds of billions of tax payers dollars were spent, with  not much results.And on top of that, people still go to jail because of cannabis possession.

In 2016 almost 600k people ended up in jail for cannabis possession, so whether you think it is your right to use something that is not legalized or not, you will get  screwed if you live in the  wrong state.Recreational use is legalized in 11 states so far, so unless you live there, you won't end up good  if they caught you possessing.Try defending yourself  outside those 11 states with "it is my right" and see how that ends up.

Whole justice system in United States is paralyzed due this failed war on drugs, and only thing that can help it resolve it is legalization.

And to end up all this with a quote from great George Carlin:

"And rights aren’t rights if someone can take ’em away. They’re privileges, that’s all we’ve ever had in this country, is a bill of temporary privileges.Yeah… sooner or later the people in this country gonna realize the government does not give a f**k about them. The government doesn’t care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare, or your safety, it simply doesn’t give a f**k about you. It’s interested in its own power, that’s the only thing, keeping it and expanding it wherever possible."
