Bad pot argument

One of the opposition arguments is that if marijuana is legal, kids will think it's OK. Irrespective of whether pot is legalized, kids should be taught, assiduously, the fallacy of such thinking.

In our system, government is not the universal and absolute arbiter. All that is good is not prescribed. All that is bad is not prohibited.

In fact, the less we rely on government to make such decisions, the better and freer we are.
