Anything which destroys rationality in a person-—clouds the mind, so to say—is evil in my book. Anything which destroys the ability of man to think clearly is evil, since it destroys that which elevates man above animal: Reason. That is why Common Core is Evil—(and intentionally so), since it destroys the ability of children to be coherent and think critically for themselves. (It is worse than drugs even, since it is permanent confusion/irrationality for life, a complete brainwashing/”Rape of the Mind”).
I would NEVER do anything intentionally to destroy the functioning of my brain, which impairs rationality. Free Will only exists with Wisdom and the ability to think clearly and coherently. Vice (drunkedness, so a person is incapable of exercising Free Will (true choice)— creates slaves. (Aristotle/Aquinas). Slavery wastes my precious time.
I guess it is because of my sister who blew her brains out with a gun——at age 19. She was doing all sorts of drugs at the time, and had problems with concentration, and was thinking of dropping out of school, since she couldn’t remember anything.
I just happen to be very Socratic and believe that the most brilliant, happy “Life”-—the one worth living—is an intellectual one: That which elevates the intellect, never destroys it. The intellect is which differentiates us from that pathetic slave and doggy (worthless) life. Without Virtue (control of base emotions by the intellect), there is absolutely no Freedom. Why should I ever want to dull the intellect? (I don’t-—ever—not with a faith in God).
I love Freedom—true Freedom—and that is never an escape from Reality and have other substances taking control of my Mind......although the understanding of Truth (God/Reality) will always be incomprehensible (if that makes any sense to you. LOL).
Medical research? I have listened to credible psychiatrists who claimed (with data) that children smoking weed will have at least 8 IQ points lowered. Culture always sifts down onto the children-—doesn’t it. It is why toxic cultures (like the vulgar, drug-filled, homoerotic Weimar Republic created the Hitler Youth Mindset). Cultures create “desires” and “attitudes”. You can NEVER avoid the effects of promoting behaviors which destroy and impair Natural functions PARTICULAR THINKING COHERENTLY and that which destroys motivation (work ethic), and if they affect the IQ of the future generations it is particularly troubling.
I am a Libertarian (anarchist almost)-—but do believe that all Just Systems (free systems) have to promote “public virtue” in all their laws (like our Founders/John Marshall). As Cicero knew—when you promote vice in “Law”, you will collapse civil society (and freedom)l.
US government is suppose to only promote Truth (Natural Law/God’s Laws) and I hear lies about the “safety” of MJ all the time (some pedestrian was just killed by a driver who had been smoking weed).
Anytime you are putting that much smoke/toxins into the body which even affects the Mind in incoherent ways, can not be “good” and “healthy” and “natural” and productive for society. Science doesn’t even understand Tylenol or Aspirin and you “know” the “truth” about smoking Marijuana?????? or believe some so-called scientific “expert”. LOL.
Habits of Virtue (excellence) need to be instilled in children (Aristotle). Without Virtue, freedom is impossible. That is what Libertarians don’t seem to understand....that Virtue is essential to Freedom. Vice is slavery only. So—that is why Montesquieu stated that a “Justice” System ONLY promotes public virtue at all times which includes Truth (Natural Laws which include God’s Design (Laws) of the Human body (Science/Biology)). Drugging/impairing the mind is never a “good” and “virtuous” thing in Life, without acute medical necessity.
