RE: Weed Should Be Legal — but Not Because "It's Medicine" [Steemit Exclusive]

When I look out the window, I see order. That order is imposed by lethal force. Ideas about rights might have entered into the design of that order. But without lethal force, those beautiful ideas would be no more than beautiful ideas in the midst of chaos. (The chaos would be only temporary, because some group of men would come along and impose their own preferred kind of order, which might not be based upon notions of "rights" at all.)

All of the order in human society is ultimately imposed by lethal force. There are no exceptions. If you think you can identify an exception, state it and we will take a look at it.
