Message: <blockquote data-quote="gst" data-source="post: 52949" data-attributes="member: 373">Davy, I can guarantee you I was raised in a family environment where caring loving parents showed us by example the values they wanted instilled in their kids as honestly and effectively as parents as any one out there. Honesty and truth was first and foremost growing up. That is how I hope I am raising my kids. And I still went out and raised more hell than most. So ya family values help, but a little fear of CONSEQUENCES for the law beyond the tough love parents give doesn;t hurt. So explain to me how if I accept legalizing something that was not legal that people now claim is no big deal, how I do not look like a hypocrite to a 17 year old kid that wants x or some other drug THEY don't think is that bad legalized. I mean if the argument is okay pot is no worse than booze ect....... than why should ANY other similar drug not be allowed as well? People are picking and choosing what information they want to believe in regards to pot usage. There are proven long term impacts just like any other drug including alcohol, it is not all just munchies and odd humor. In 50 years of living I have seen far to many times once the govt starts down the path of allowing something, or on the flip side disallowing something, it never stops where people thought it would because someone is ALWAYS making the argument "well if that is what about this". Throw in the "my rights" argument and the PC world we live in suddenly has NO boundries of what is or is not allowed or right or wrong . So how long before the "we are not winning the war on meth" is used to justify legalizing it? Taxes on meth may fill the coffers as well.There are "recreational" cocaine users out there, think of how high a tax we could put on that and the revenues it would generate.  The slippery slope argument has proven itself to be a valid one over the years.</blockquote>
