ices and thoughts? The Philosopher I chose was John Locke. I think is he was controlling our government right now marijuana would be legal. I feel this way because Locke believed people hold the same powers towards others. This would come into play now when you hear stories of police or other people that are supposed to be setting the standards getting caught using the drug or others like it. I think Locke would be able to have it be legal because he ran a controlling government that would be able to keep the substance under control....
