re: LA Bill to legalize recreational marijuana is out of committee and will go to House vote

"Things are bad, let's make them even worse" seems like a poor strategy for improvement.

But it's not that though. You're the one saying that. That's not what it is.

Put it this way, smoking weed, weed shops, etc. is not any trashier than drinking. If you think weed is trashy, then surely you must think alcohol is trashy as well. I don't know, maybe you do and are a staunch hardcore Southern Baptist teetotaler type?

But if you're not, I think you're way off base with your logic. It doesn't make sense.

gain, I'm against criminalizing weed. I just hope weed doesn't become a part of everyone's daily life in seeing it, smelling it, etc.
That makes me a horrible retrograde to all the enlightened folks on the OT.

So you're ok with alcohol being a part of everyone's daily life? Because I can tell you having lived in other states that Louisiana is very "lushy" (not a word I know) compared to other states. We are a bunch of drunks. Nobody drinks like we do here. But I'm also not going to sit here and criticize everybody who drinks either. To each his own.

Something just rubbed me the wrong way reading that.
