I Would Rather Have Freedom Than Slavery
Many people these days say "The government should make sure ...." or "There ought to be a law ..."
Epic BS .. you can't legislate morality AND the best way to ensure people get what they want is competition and allow the market to sort out the options .. the government is about control not choice!
Consider Austria, they did a good thing here:
".. “The freedom to choose lives on. The existence of restaurants (particularly small ones) has been secured. Thousands of threatened jobs have been saved,” said Strache, himself a smoker.
Unlike in most of Europe, in Austria people can smoke in eateries under certain conditions – which are widely flouted – including that it is confined to separate rooms..."
Yes, allowing smoking AND allowing private businesses to cater to whatever niche of the customer base they want is a big win-win.
Expand that to the veterans who return from immoral wars to wage war within themselves about the deeds they have done .. PTSD is real and 22 vets a day kill themselves. The freedom to use a natural plant SHOULD be in their grasp of Rx treatments ... and that freedom should NOT as the NRA believes deny them the right of self defense by demanding that they turn in their guns.
