[Peace-discuss] let's put marijuana referenda on the November ballots

["E. Wayne Johnson 朱稳森"]

Do you think that alcohol and tobacco should be regulated?

If so, Why?

If you answer yes, it implies that you believe that people
are individually unable to make right decisions for themeselves,
and the people need a nanny state to take care of them.

It seems reasonable to run experimental societies but
it is tyrannical and immoral to impose experimental ideas on unwilling
masses of the society.

I suppose that if you answer yes, you might also believe that
the "sin tax" on alcohol and tobacco benefits the government
who needs the money for its programs of social good such
as militarism and the police state, but actually such taxes are
regressive and you ought to think that is not good.
