The most obvious motivation to prohibit any form of recreation is fear. The Prohibitionists list the various evils that people, presumably all people, will surely do if they are permitted to recreate by, for instance, smoking a joint:
They tell us it’s a “gateway drugâ€, by which they mean that more and more will […]
It is acknowledged by “religious conservatives” that God is the Creator, the Author of All Things, seen and unseen… including marijuana and all other psychoactive substances, prohibited and unprohibited.
To prohibit any of those substances is to assert that God simply must have made a “Mistake” in putting them here, that we the “Unwashed” […]
“The Emperor Wears No Clothes”.
God didn’t put me here to be popular or to be obsequious. Popularity is just fine, but it should be nobody’s sine qua non, and it is certainly not mine.
Why, you may ask, do I have a link to my political/ religious blog on my JRPottery webpage?
I do […]
The ONDCP is building a case for their new authority to make athletes pee in a cup. But oh, no, don’t you worry, the next demand suuuuurely won’t be for authority to make “normal” citizens do likewise.
You prohibitionists are pawning your liberty, about which I could not care less and which you don’t […]
I refer to “boomerang kids” of any age, as well as to young people who have not yet left their parents’ home, in this rant.
Hey Kids! You might read what I’ve written about abolition of prohibition of various means of recreation, and you might be moved to say, “Yeah, dude, right on”, […]
Here’s a link

…which led me to ask myself what we’re getting for our money.
Watch the “Anti-Drug” ads on your […]
Last time I caused “Harm to Society” by smoking a joint, did your goiter act up? Did the stock market go down? I didn’t drive, of course, so I didn’t cause an automobile accident. Maybe the “Harm to Society” was that American Athletes only won a few gold medals in the Olymipcs… but wait, those […]

When will Prohibitionists come to their senses? Well, yet another former one seems to have realized that the “Waaaar On Druuuuugs” is not the solution, and is itself a root cause of social malaise.
Did you know that the first federal law that had anything to do with marijuana was the 1937 Marijuana […]
Ron,
In your 8:30 news, you reported about a fool who claimed ownership of some marijuana that the police had; I’m sure you recall asking why we think they call it “dope”.
Implied is that all who smoke pot will certainly do such stupid things.
Your position argues from the specific to the […]
Steve responded again:
John - When you are totally innacurate in the first paragraph, I see
no reason to read further since the credibility of whatever you would
have to say is totally shot.
You have listened to the show enough to know that when the music
starts playing we have a hard break and have to go to […]
