and that is what the united states was until the latter part of the 19th century

@UnScottable Oh, sure, personally I wouldn't want it legalized because its bad for our people but people who openly advocate for 3rd Pos like CT for example say they would have weed legalized but heavily restricted, doesn't see it as contradictory to his Fascistic world view

hm interesting

I wouldn't say that its inherently Libertarian

see i dnt want it legalized at all

personally... even though i use it a lot

i dont want to see it commodified and marketed.

i do kinda lean libertarian in the sense that i'm generally averse to criminalizing things that don't directly harm other people

right DiJ... unfortunately our current society.. doesnt need unlimited access to marijuana lol

though that is different from believing that cultural institutions should be normalizing or glorifying these things

"Harm" can be subjective though

and obviously that's not an absolute position

im conflicted in a lot of ways with religion because of things like this

like before i did a bunch of psychedelics. i was a devout atheist

you couldnt tell me anything

if the distribution of marijuana remains illegal i would still be inclined to think that consumption shouldn't be

i don't think that it's so harmful that it warrants legal action in that regard

but yet all the religious types say LSD and mushrooms and etc. are evil and the devil so im like... hmmmmm idk

🤷‍♂️

i feel without those experiences my world view would not be what it is today and id probably still like bernie sanders lol

i mean i know its not healthy lol

inhaling burnt plant matter is never healthy

That is why I personally would want it restricted, I don't particularly want my people killing themselves

i mean i guess in terms of priorities

curtailing the consumption of unhealthy food would be a lot more important than curtailing cannabis use

I would also outlaw any chemicals in food that are proven to be harmful to us

some how we thought of the same thing at the same time

tho marijuana use makes you want to eat unhealthy foods

so...

ehhh

kill all pot smokers

<:pepegun:588019479401726001>

I say all this as an ex smoker myself btw

My progressive friend I've had since childhood still smokes every single day though

i dunno if would qualify as an ex-smoker

i mean i haven't smoked it in a while but it's not as if i've actively given it up

well i said at the beginning i dont want it legalized.

i suppose i am biased in this regard

i do still smoke tobacco though and i'd actually be more okay with that being banned
