John, I agree that folks should have unfettered access to the legal product. But they should not have the unfettered ability to expose me to them. I think that is the prime distinction. And as I said earlier, if you don't have the stones to ban them outright, then don't bother going halfway. Bans on legal products just seem silly. But controls on where you can use them would be much more effective. And at no time should you ever have the right to expose me to anything that can damage my health without my consent.

As to electing idiots, it is the price we pay sometimes for living in a relatively free and democratic society. But we still can change leadership at stated intervals without bloodshed, and for that we should be grateful.

All the best,

Mick
