Two beers is grounds for a “public intoxication” charge these days.
Obama has prohibited the production of candy cigarettes and all flavor tobaccos except methol.
You can’t even smoke a cigarette in your car or home in some parts of this country.
and the dopers think that this nation will be somehow more permissive when it comes to pot.
Pot does nothing to reduce pain.
Pot is a violation of federal law. What gives this dork the right to usurp the law? HIS own authority? Another example of selective enforcement. Laws mean nothing these days—just ask the bondholders of GM.
We’re under tyranny.
Two words:
States Rights.

The author has clearly not tried it as a specific for nausea. It’s excellent.
Kinda hard to get well when you’re constantly tossing your cookies.
Some in Arcata California are wondering.

Dude. Where is my government provided weed? Man, I thought the stimulus was going to mail me some, man.
What gets me is CA Arnold taliking about tax revenue from “medical marijuana.”
If it’s really medical, what the hell are they taxing it for? This is lunacy!
Yep, medical marijuana is nothing more than getting our children addicted to this evil weed. Everyone who says that they use it for medical purposes is a flat-out lying liberal intent on destroying the next generation. It’s as simple as that. < / sarc>
Be insulted all you want, Charlie. Just leave folks the hell alone.
I would hate to see Dane miss this thread . . .
I think the best thing that people who want pot decriminalized could do is to invent a small, portable device that could test for intoxication (aka a breathalyzer). Until we have that (which I don’t think we do), the whole “pot’s no worse than alcohol” argument is hollow.
That said, while pot should be a state, not federal issue, I’m not a big fan of selective enforcement. It just sends the message that rules are well, more like non-binding resolutions.
Sixty-three percent (63%) of Americans believe patients should be allowed to smoke marijuana if it is prescribed by a doctor.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only 24% of adults say patients should not be allowed to smoke pot in cases like that. Thirteen percent (13%) are undecided.

1. Allow legalization of marijuana and let all those who desire to toke up night and day an opportunity to transform themselves into lazy and hungry do-nothings
-OR-
2. Keep marijuana use illegal and either sh*t or get off the pot with enforcement...stiffen consequences for selling/using marijuana to help dissuade people from using it...
Unfortunately for anyone who is generally against all narcotic use, the crux of the problem is that there will never exist a time when nobody ANYWHERE will desire to use drugs recreationally. I personally cannot understand how anyone actually ever DESIRES to try drugs in the first place. Peer pressure is B.S...I was offered myriad drugs while in high school, but NEVER did I feel even REMOTELY compelled to try any...STRESS is B.S....I have endured tremendous levels of stress without succumbing to the perceived "lure" of drug use...Medicinal use is a scapegoat in most cases....
Isn't it simply easier not to BEGIN using illicit drugs in the first place?
“Medical Marijuana is an insult to our intelligence”
... no more than “Civil Forfeiture.”
Current polling shows 58% support.
The stuff reeks and makes me WANT to vomit when I smell it. I can’t imagine that crap making anyone feel better, especially when there are far more effective pain relief and relaxation drugs out there for people in the last stages of cancer.
