Wouldn't that be something? Actual freedom? Everybody NOT in jail. The police state NOT all over our ass? Violence on the border NOT happening?

My brother and I had this conversation over the weekend. He doesn't see the point in legalizing pot because every job out there drug tests. I told him that not every job does, and those that do test do so when they hire you and never again. He works construction and if there is an accident on the site they drug test everyone on site and you get fired if you have drugs in your system.

I told him that nothing would change if it was legal. Those jobs that test still will. Those who work jobs were they could get fired if they smoke will have to decide for themselves if they want to take that chance. It should be up to individuals to take responsibility for themselves. The government is not responsible for protecting me from me, I should be allowed to choose for myself how I want to live.
