Do you keep a comb in your pocket to comb your hair? Why would you want government to legalize the comb in your pocket? Get government out of it altogether.
Government doesn't have to legalize something to give you the right to use it. All they have to do is repeal the laws they made against it.
If they legalize it, then they can tax it. Why should you have to pay tax on your own cannabis that you grow in your bathroom window? Bernie wants to screw you, and he has tricked you into thinking that he is your friend.
I'm with you on the government thing, i'm not fan of them either and i think that taxation is theft. And don't let me get started on that fool Bernie
But there is a different issue when it comes to cannabis, and it is there whether you think we should be able to grow our own cannabis or not, and that is amount of money that is spent on so called " war on drugs" that America is loosing all those years.Hundreds of billions of tax payers dollars were spent, with not much results.And on top of that, people still go to jail because of cannabis possession.
In 2016 almost 600k people ended up in jail for cannabis possession, so whether you think it is your right to use something that is not legalized or not, you will get screwed if you live in the wrong state.Recreational use is legalized in 11 states so far, so unless you live there, you won't end up good if they caught you possessing.Try defending yourself outside those 11 states with "it is my right" and see how that ends up.....
There are numerous municipalities that have "do not prosecute" policies in effect for some years.
