the idea of fining people who don't wash their hands or flush a toilet is absurd. There's no real way to police it even if it were finable. As for restaurant workers it's something that you really can't know for sure. Even in that I'm not sure how you police it.

Yeah I know it's a longshot to enforce but if it were on the books and a police officer would happen to catch someone leaving the restroom without washing their hands at least that person would be taught a lesson. Also with all the publicity this law would bring it may just encourage more people to wash up and flush the toilet after using the restroom.

I'm in favor of full drug legalization. I'd be perfectly okay with tsomething like this as a happy medium. Allow it in private places-- in your home, certain "pot approved" smoke houses or something of the sort, places like that. But keep ripping off bong hits on the corner of First and Main illegal.

And before someone says I'm just some hippie pothead who just wants his grass, no. I don't do any drugs, smoke, or drink. I just think people should be allowed to make decisions for themselves, and if they screw up, oh well, it's their fault. The problem is that people don't want the responsibility that comes with a right. They always want someone else to blame if they make the wrong choice.

I'm totally with you on this issue. You could tax it and it would end the drug wars in Mexico.

Here's something that I always thought of when it comes to personal health and safety as well as public accomodations. What do ya'll think about writing tickets and handing out fines to people who don't flush the toilet or wash their hands when using public restrooms. I find it utterly disgusting whenever I see someone not doing that and you can never really be too sure if the person who is fixing your food has washed your hands after using the bathroom. I know that this would be hard to enforce but if you are caught then you are imposed with hefty fines. What are your thoughts?

No.

No.

You got any better ideas or are you completly ok with someone preparing your food or prehaps even looking after your family members who has not washed their hands?

Of course I'm not ok with it, but it should not be a crime.

So what's the difference between a restaurant being fined for not keeping its food prep up to par than from a restaurant employee being fined for not washing his hands? Or are you also against health code regulations in restaurants?

there's a difference between legalizing pot and legalizing all drugs. No way all drugs are ever legalized recreationally and even if they were they would be controlled substances. If pot was legalized it wouldn't eliminate the drug wars in mexico. They would just focus on the harder drugs that would still be illegal.

I do agree that if pot was legalized it would be taxed probably more than any other item.

You said that everyone should get fined, not just restaurant employees.

The drug wars are primarily about marijuana because of the high demand. There isn't nearly the demand for harder drugs.
