Yes!  All of you conservative prohibitionists need to read National Review's issue from 12 Feb 1996. 

That issue of NR was my introduction to the concept and it sold me.  You can't claim Bill Buckley was just some pot head who wanted to get high.

(Well, you can, it just won't work well.)

I have to admit, it's fun to kick a hornet's nest and then bail and come back and see it at 138 posts.

EJ, they are sold as tobacco pipes. You can smoke tobacco out if them.

Your logic is the same that underpins both the seatbelt law, the individual insurance mandate and NY's fireworks ban:

 Because some people are irresponsible, and that irresponsibility imposes costs on society at large, we must force everyone, even responsible people, to act "correctly."

I don't have a limiting principle.  It's hard to get there without twisting oneself into a knot of communitarianism.

I think it is, like most things, self limiting.  Islam limits a man to four wives, but most men don't have that many because having many wives is expensive. 

Some people are able to do it, most aren't.  It might work better for some people.  It's a practice some people do already, just without the sanction of law.

Awesome, so the existence of the welfare state, which I'm forced to support but do not benefit from, justifies limiting my freedom?

Your question supposes that there's a need for a limit and that such a limit should be in the law.

Someone who has no moral objection to peaceful (as if there's any other kind) marijuana consumption, and someone who believes that in the United States of America your home won't be invaded by armed men who will hold your 12 year old daughter at gunpoint.

But, I guess he was wrong.  I suppose he had it coming.  How dare he peacefully trade with others and sell items that could be used to sell marijuana.  The nerve of some people!

On the plus side, she was an expert in Soviet affairs, so she's a perfect fit for Romney who still thinks its 1986 when it comes to foreign policy.

The truth of the matter is that Romney could pick a transgender Satanist who eats babies and most of you will still vote for Romney just to beat Obama.

That's a fine piece of marketing there, as demonstrated by Mollie's comment.

That's an amazing title.

This thread makes me wanna shoot off some fireworks.

I drove a car that was missing it's front license plate.  Some states its not a crime.  In NY, it's so foul that it's a $200 ticket.

Lots of people wear wigs, man.

Is it really that unlikely?  Screamin' Jay Hawkins had between 55 and 75 children.

"Viscerally distasteful" is the perfect way to describe it, Diane.
