Yeah, most people who fight for the legalization of weed are not so naive as to say that it's really good for you, but there are a lot of worse things in this country that people are allowed to do, so there should be no reason people can't do this as well.

I don't feel that the government should put laws in place that prevent you from doing only harm to yourself. To me, the seat belt law falls under this category. I'm not saying that it's always the most intelligent choice to go without a seat belt, but it should still be my choice, and I shouldn't have to worry about paying a fine because I put myself in a little more danger (and I mean only a little more, since cars are already incredibly dangerous and seat belts only knock off a fraction of your chance of getting hurt or dying in a car accident).
