Most states do allow ex-felons to vote once they have paid their restitution, as far as I know.  Most of the debate involves indigent persons.

1a. Yes, there is a God. Who created the universe otherwise?

General tip I've found to be true:

If your statement nullifies thousands of years of intellectual debate about epistemology, you're probably oversimplifying.  Probably.

1b. A mother should not have to pay for her own son's funeral. A mother should not have to bury her own son, full stop.

1c. They're also addictive, make you do dangerous things, lead to crime.

[...]

For that matter, can you name a victimless action?  There are negative repercussions to everything we do.  Not everyone who is lighting up a joint is becoming addicted, or even at much higher risks of doing dangerous things.  Generally, things taken to extremes can be dangerous.  You were given an example of a crime that can be victimless.  It is not always, and the extent to which it usually is, is generally the focus of debates about its legalization.  It was a fair answer, though.
