RE: Drug War Stupidity: Cannabis Potency Hysteria
Thank you. And thanks for respondind with something interesting as always.
I agree that abuse can be a problem for the individual but I believe that the freedom of everyone in society outweighs the problem of an individual.
The truth is, any kind of freedom bares some danger with it but the question is whether we believe that danger is a fair price for it. If, for example, all speech is ok then a person may say something stupid and make an outcast of himself but protecting him is not a valid reason to limit your speech or mine. Judging from what your page says I suspect we would largely agree on these types of issues. In my mind, freedom has more value than safety and as a result my own ethical/moral code requires me to oppose any trasspass against that freedom.
