Pot in America

[--Pete]

Hi,

I'm not sold on all drugs being legal yet. Meth labs, for example, result in huge ecological contamination, then, I think the State does have a duty to protect neighbors from those who engage in dangerous activities or cause ecological damage to even their own property.

There are all sorts of plants that manufacture explosives, fertilizers, industrial chemicals, etc. The population is safe (well, relatively safe) from these plants because they are legal and can be controlled. If you outlawed, for instance, peroxide, then the people who made illegal peroxide would hardly follow EPA guidelines or zoning restrictions. I don't accept that argument.
