An internet survey recently asked, “What is one thing that should be legalized?” Here are the 14 best responses:
Seeing Politicians’ Tax Returns
“It is quite suspicious that most of the members in the Senate and Congress are mega multi-millionaires with just a six-figure salary. I have a salary comparable, and I’m living paycheck to paycheck.”
“It’s like seeing the corporate sponsor companies logos on a race car or other sports equipment. You find out who really bought and paid for their services.”
Sleeping in Your Car in a Parking Spot
“Those laws only exist because we have a chronic hatred of the homeless, and punishing them with pinpricks is much easier than giving them a place to live.”
“Good point. It annoys me that there are fast-food places but not fast-sleep places. Let me pay $10 to lie down for a few hours.”
Feeding Parking Meters for Strangers
“Places use tickets to generate revenue. Paid meters generate less revenue. So, they punish people for paying others’ meters to protect revenue and potentially generate more.”
“I just overpay, so there’s still time on the meter when I leave. Sorry officers, I didn’t realize I’d only be here for 5 minutes, not 2 hours.”
Collecting Rainwater
“The thought behind it is if enough people do it, it’ll disrupt the water supply.”
“I live in a highly polluted area, down the street from a steel mill. I wouldn’t want to drink the rainwater even with modern-day filters.
Buying Booze and Beer on Sundays
“It only became legal for liquor stores to be open on Sundays in Oklahoma a few years ago. And, like, five years ago, Oklahoma got full-pint beer and wine in grocery stores. It’s illegal in many southern states and Texas as well.”
“I just load up on Saturday because I know I can’t buy it on Sunday.”
Getting Personal Belongings Back From the Police
“Yep. A friend had his 240sx stolen but kept for evidence, and the car was left unattended and uncovered. When the guy got his car back, it had 3 inches of water inside, and what once was a mint example of a sports car turned into a lemon.”
“I was about to get assaulted by my stepdad for the three millionth time. He raised his hand up to my neck as if to strangle me. I had my phone recording. Police took my phone as “evidence” and changed the passcode, so I lost everything on that device, then returned it five years later.”
Shrooms
“Science needs to study it more. There could be a lot of great benefits.”
“I’d really like to try them, but I can’t risk the legal trouble of getting caught somehow.”
Fistfighting
“Two consenting adults should be able to throw some punches to settle differences, period. I know it’s legal in some places, but not all.”
“It could even be based on consent-related laws, like no intoxication, bodily disease disclosure and/or safety measures, right to withdraw consent, all that jazz.”
18-Year-Old Drinking Age
“The car insurance agencies pushed for it in the US. Everywhere else in the world, it’s between 16-19 years old, and some states want to allow lower ages. Still, it’s de facto federally enforced at 21.”
“As an Australian where the legal drinking age is 18, the fact that it’s still 21 in some parts of the world truly confuses me.”
Being Drunk in a Parked Car
“If you’re parked, the keys are clearly not in the ignition, and you’re not in the driver’s seat, it would be okay.”
“They just have to fill those for-profit prisons.”
Challenging Someone to an Honourable Duel
“Many states in the US have “mutual combat” laws whereby two people can agree to a (typically unarmed) fight that does not endanger bystanders or property.”
“Disagree with someone? Meet them at noon in front of the Dollar General, and settle it the old way… Western style.”
Suppressors in the US
“They’re a hearing protection device and work nothing like in the movies, but they require an absolutely absurd amount of paperwork with a year wait and a $200 tax stamp.”
“The ATF has done everything possible to make the process as difficult and unwelcoming as possible. On top of that, they intentionally muddy the waters to allow them to charge anyone with a felony at any time for any reason.”
Marijuana
“It’s never hurt anyone in history aside from people hurt due to its black market status.
“Safest drug out there, and people are rotting in jail over… wait for it… A PLANT?!”
