This is unbelievable! It's amazing how college kids are mesmerized by these idiots...I know, I just got into a bit of a debate with a few of them. They did not seem to grasp the idea that bus drivers, airline pilots, other drivers and train engineers could easily be responsible for many severe accidents because they are "high"! Funny, these same people are against drunk driving but all for legalizing pot!

Sorry Barney, Mr. Pot is already dead.

I agree with Barney. I want to get stoned and its no one’s business.
I think we should be spending our money chasing after gay prostitutes and those who pimp them.

Pilots, engineers, bus drivers can’t already get weed, if they really wanted?
Really?
People go to work DAILY under the influence of perfectly legal prescription drugs, just like they do with alcohol.
Legal weed wouldn’t be the doomsday that many want to predict.
Of course, it will essentially defund a law enforcement scheme that’s addicted to the war on drugs.

Frank was just confused. He thought the bill would legalize smoking poLE.
To: mikelets456
I’m guessing there’s nothing in the bill about legally growing your own stuff, though. Can’t have that.
To: mikelets456
I'm surprised a nanny state fiend like BF would want to allow individual freedom and choice.
Wow. The world won't end.
Besides, is this to decriminalize pot, Federally? The States can always make it a crime.

Barney Frank and the Libertarians agree on a number of things.

His bill is the worst of both worlds: legalize drugs AND keep all the enforcement for large amounts.
I don’t realy care about pot, but they need to pick a path: legalize all the way or start killing drug users.
Half measures are crap.

And when it is legal, it will be TAXED!
Every smoker of something other than tobacco is (in Frank's mind) depriving the wonderful, kind, benevolent government of $$$$ ...

It has nothing to do with liberty. It’s about the money. If something like this were to pass, watch how fast the WOD’s focus will turn on home growers.

Hey Barney, file it in the where-the-sun-don’t-shine-except-in-the-privacy-of-your-own-bedroom file.

Barney hits the "broken clock is right twice a day" syndrome on this one.

Oh, sure. I understand. Just as well they will come to the people who garden and grow their own food.
Can’t have that.

It’s all about the children.
I find it strange that a homo has the power to make a law, in support of putting something to put into your mouth.

As long as any act committed while under the influence is treated as pre-meditated and any rehab is no longer funded from any tax money, then I can be OK with this.
E.G., a stoner drives a car into a bus and kills 10 people it will be treated like he planned and blew it up with an RPG.

"If something like this were to pass, watch how fast the WODs focus will turn on home growers." Home growers need not worry as long as they keep their operations secret.

They also seem to believe that getting stoned doesn’t affect anyone but themselves.
People who have to live with stoners, or pick up the slack they cause by zoning out, or who see loved ones slip theough the gateway between pot and bigger and better highs... know better.

We don't need to spend our scarce resources prosecuting people who are doing no harm to others.So why are certain weapons and explosives illegal? What if I want to have all kinds of that stuff? I'm not harming anyone. I am less harmful than a school bus driver who's been smoking pot all weekend.

"Frank was just confused. He thought the bill would legalize smoking poLE." He thought it should be legal to get a piece of ash in the backseat of the car.
