You're right and I respect that. It would be your individual sense of welfare. There's nothing wrong with that, believe me I'm not saying there is, but when a group of people want something for "recreation" that they consider to go towards their "welfare" but it conflicts with the welfare and actual peaceful, happy
living conditions of those around them who are not a part of that group, it seems fairly apparent which group takes precedence. Not the group that wants the government to legalize something purely for individualistic enjoyment. This is not an anarchical society, remember? For government to function, the people cannot demand and get everything they want without consequence. Then there's no need for government in the first place. No one needs marijuana for a peaceful happy
natural standard of living. But you're demanding additional comfort/welfare at the expense of the comfort/welfare, not to mention health and possibly even safety of others. And that can't happen. That's the root of this issue.
