I thought you were using that as an example, my apologies. I didn't know what THC was until I looked it up and saw that it's just weed. My post was not directed towards weed because it's already obvious that weed should be legal. I just assumed "THC" was in the hardcore drug category when I saw your comment.
(with that being said... sheesh lol, I didn't realize so much would come from that little comment I made. People get way too defensive about this stuff, imho.)
People get defensive because they're sick of being stigmatized and treated like criminals. If you think that's "way too", you should probably think a little harder about it. I, for one, am a legitimate medical marijuana patient who hasn't been able to afford her meds in almost a year. I have a TON of interest in getting "defensive" about it because I would be able to afford it if there weren't such a huge stigma and it was available through health benefits. Believe me: everyone would benefit; not just those using it, whether for recreational or medical purposes.
It might be obvious to you, C_L, but it obviously isn't to everyone in the US, or it would be by-and-large legal by now.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum.
