You're of the Statist mentality that the gov't has the power to pass any law it deems as "for the common good", and it doesn't matter that it puts a crimp on the freedom of some individuals. You can't have freedom unless you're willing to give it away. |

That's the same reasoning as "we should prohibit people working on their own cars, and only licensed mechanics should be allowed to work on cars at all..."

Allow unrestricted growing and I think there will be a large loss of tax revenue. Then again, maybe not. People can grow their own tobacco, but still buy cigarettes. |

Anyone associated with growing or the distribution of the medicine also voted against it to protect their business.
