    Re: Legal marijuanas biggest foe

    I want to add. I have read no Ayn Rand. I have breifly went over her philosophy, which I do agree with, but I base my political beliefs strictly off of our founding fathers, republicanism, and our original state that was much less flawed than our current state. Realize that during the time of the documentation of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution, there were already pharmaceutical drugs, as well as recreational. People medicated responsibly, and of course, there were the irresponsible. But by having the responsibility over one's self, this created a more responsible people. When your health, dosage, and life depends on your knowledge and responsibility. For the majority, this leads them to act in the utmost responsible manner. One of our Founding Fathers had to medicate with opium. Thanks to opium not being a scheduled felony in that era, we received great innovation, inventions, and documentation from him which helped jump-start the American dream.

      You are correct. Opium was over the counter and used a lot for headaches and other pains. You should try and find the time to read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shruged. In my opinion, that is the greatest book ever written on capitalism in novel form. Individualism is what I believe in, but most of the people in our country lean more towards collectivism for some reason. They believe everything the state tells them and think that people are not smart enough to choose for themselves. Of course, once the state intervenes on something they like, it's a different story. It's pure hypocrisy and nothing but. As I mentioned about AAS, some of us believe it should be legal, while many people who don't use them believe AAS should be illegal. So why is it right for us to support that illegal substance but not something that other people enjoy. The argument that pot is dangerous doesn't work because everybody that likes it still uses it, thus the reason for the drug cartels; they provide what the government doesn't allow.
      Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master. George Washington

      I do not condone the use of, nor do I use anabolic or androgenic steroids. My participation on these boards is for informational purposes only. I have done extensive research of AAS and enjoy discussing them for role playing enjoyment.
