Colorado Voters

Colorado and one other state legalized the smoking of marijuana this past election day. This is being widely hailed as a success, a red letter day. The Left wants to regulate what kids eat in school, and use higher insurance rates to punish adults for overeating. I oppose these measures as further nanny-state creeping into areas of personal choice and liberty. People must be free to make bad choices without government regulation and interference. Still, the Left is not to be disputed in their disagreement with bad eating practices. In light of that sanctimonious disapproval with personal choices and habits indulged in by the private citizen, why is it a good thing to legalize lighting up? Pot cigarettes are a known to contain powerful carcinogenics. Who knows what other side effects they will bring to smokers? What is well-known is that dope-smokers are lethargic and listless. If I am right and God expects us to indidviduate to the best of our ability, to the outer limits of our talents, how can we achieve this desirable lifestyle when we are drug-induced zombies? We have a moral obligation to God to not pollute our bodies, and to lead clean and sober lives. Smoking dope illegally is immoral. Legalizing this foul practice sends the wrong message to children.
