Say It With Your Chest

I recently read I oppose marijuana legalization — on libertarian grounds by Jim Grey, and it has truly been living rent free in my head ever since. Not only do I disagree with Mr. Grey’s stance, I believe his reasoning is deeply flawed. I take so much exception to his stance that I just had to write this post so that I can hopefully move on. Uh-oh, Stinky! The crux of Mr. Grey’s opinion is that weed stinks. Okay, that’s fair I suppose. Personally I don’t mind the smell, and I think some kinds even smell pretty good. Smells like good time and laughing with friends if you ask me, but to each their own. But a smell by itself is far from a just cause for making something illegal. Save for Surströmming, of course.
