Since y'all probably won't make it through the whole post, I'm putting my point first, and my rambling 2nd. Point 1 - the more the nanny state attempts to block any possible way for their populace to hurt themselves, the more the populace tries to do just that. Point 2 - I obviously agree that the government needs to stay out of people's business, but K2 is hardly worth the argument as that stuff is shit anyway.
On to the rambling. First, the weed question...
Think about it this way. If you have a town of a hundred thousand people, and 20% of them are going to go out and ingest some sort of substance as a supplement to their good time, would you rather
a) Have loud, obnoxious, stupid drunks wandering around breaking things and generally being annoying, possibly drunk-driving, doing all manner of stupid things
b) have a bunch of chilled-out chuckle-fests augmented with doritos and jones soda.
Before you get all over that one, remember every time you've gone out drinking and every time you've smoked weed and think about it one more time. People do not use marijuana and then get loud, break things, or get in fights. The worst thing they might do is drive 40 mph in a 65 on their way to the nearest taco bell.
It is really and truly only a matter of time before weed is legalized anyway. I really don't understand what the fucking holdup is, but within a generation it'll be legalized nationally. Hell it's already legal or decriminalized in half a dozen states. Legalize, tax, let corporations cash in on it and so many of our problems will go "up in smoke" har har.
As far as the K2 bit goes, I've smoked a k2 type product on a few different occasions and, I'm here to tell you, that shit is hard to handle if you're not careful. Two hits off of this stuff and I'm borderline schizo, three and I'm off the deep end. It's not really enjoyable and it's not worth a legal battle. I detest the nanny state and agree with the theory that the DEA is self-perpetuation at it's finest, but this stuff is pretty stupid anyway. I'd love to go to battle for legalization but this is not that battle.
