Marijuana and Your Liberty vs. Others' Property

On May 15, 2008, Freedom Party leader Paul McKeever was a panelist on the Crossroads Television (CTS) program "On the Line" with Christine Williams.

In this segment, the panel discusses the case of a man who claims it is his human right to smoke marijuana, for medical purposes, on a restaurant-owner's premises.

It's rare to see reasonable people on TV these days.

He should only sue for the right and not the cash.

I think your jumping to conclusions when you say it's hurting this guys business First I think the claim is unsubstantiated. Your bias is obvious that you think smoking weed is not socially acceptable and he already allows smoking there. Control freaks they want to eat their cake and make you pay for it as well

You’re not allowed to drink your own alcohol on the property. Alcohol laws and marijuana laws should be the same. Let’s not overstep our authority. If we push this too far we can lose everything were fighting for.

@zepplen4011 thank you for noticing that as well .....

yes there is a difference between tobacco and marijuana for children, Tobacco is still far worse for children than marijuana... and he was outside a bar and Grill,.... no kids allowed. Property rights rock as long as people are free to go to a pro pot smoking establishment if they choose as well, if your all about your right to tell me I can't use your business and go have a joint on the patio, don't tell me I'm not allowed to give my money to a business who wishes to accommodate me.

@jamesuslovesu No but at least if its legal people might be able to keep a better eye on it.

[jamesuslovesu]

@i1234t1234 if something is illegal it doesnt stop people from doing it, if it did then the u.s. wouldnt be number one in drug use

[i1234t1234]

@jamesuslovesu best way to prevent people from smoking crack in your yard is to keep it illegal

[jamesuslovesu]

i love marijuana, however if you are on someone elses property the person who owns that property should have the right to tell you not to do that "on their property" i think drugs should be legal even though i dont approve of most of them, if someone wants to hang out and smoke pot around me thats cool but if someone came over and started smoking crack in my yard i'd tell them to get the fuck out of here.
