From your stand on this, I can't imagine that you were friends with anyone who ever ingested pot. Therefore, I'm not sure where you are getting your opinions from. They are quite stereotypical.
I think that you're arguments are quite a slippery slope. Anything can kill everyone. In fact, junk food clogs arteries and causes many health problems. So, perhaps, junk food needs be overly taxed to off-set health-care costs.
In fact, driving without sunglasses when the sun is out can abstract the driver's vision and I could get run over. Make that illegal, dammit.
Now that I think about it, don't people get an adrenaline rush from shooting a gun. And those things can *really* kill people. Yup, you're right. Since we're working with stereotypes here, I'll respond to your original reply.
I am one of those people that would rather have lazy, directionless, no ambition piece of shit around rather than an irate, intolerant, paranoid gun-toter.
