The marijuana legalizers say they will kindly not imprison our dear pot workers anymore, and perhaps clear their records of past marijuana-related charges. That is not enough. The new marijuana tycoons and their lackey politicians must do much more than promise not to throw pot workers in jail. They must also pay unemployment benefits to all traditional-sector pot workers who are laid off and suffer other economic losses on account of their predation.
The powers that be say anti-smoking legislation is for our own well-being. Nothing could be further from the truth. The attack on cigarette smoking does not improve the lives of those it claims to protect, be they the “self-destructive” workers who smoke or the moralizing professionals who complain about having to smell them. Anti-smoking legislation is, and always has been, about social control.
