I take marijuana at night to sleep.
Are you in favor of making that illegal for me to take it?
Would you be for making it illegal?
Romney looked right at him and said, I sure would.
And I was like, what kind of person says that?
What kind of person is so presumptuous of their moral position that they're going to tell you it's immoral to take that but fine to take that?
some anti-psychotic drug or some kind of narcotic that the pharmaceutical companies sell, but we're not going to let you use marijuana.
My joke when I tell people who's opposed to this, like McConnell, who's older than โ Dirt.
Older than dirt, is that they all watched Reefer Madness in 1937 at the matinee.
And they'll never forget what happens if you get that reefer madness.
And some of them probably were alive in 1937, could have actually seen the movie.
It's an irrational sort of fear.
But on the other side of this, we're on a program that a lot of people hear.
I don't want people at home thinking I want everybody and every 15-year-old out there smoking marijuana after school.
some side effects to smoking marijuana all the time, particularly for the developing brain.
I know this is going to be shocking to you, but that's the story of government.
