IOW, you support fedgov in its use of the Commerce Clause to trample the Tenth Amendment. Looks like you and Nancy Pelosi have a similar expansive view on the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce:
What are fire ants good for then?
I just see illegal drugs as too important, they ruin the concept of ‘life, liberty and the persuit of happiness’.
They’re a fundamental scourge on society, as well are those that use them. I like the Singapore system when it comes to them.
So you do not believe in personal responsibility?
You think the “village” should be your mother?
You are making a far higher percentage of Americans get stoned.
Get it?
People that use them are already not using judgement well enough to be personally responsible by definition. They are no longer using their own wits, but are under then influence of the drug. I’m nearing 40 and I know how this stuff works, seen it enough.
I never “admitted” to doing anything.
Actually, considering how companies drug test these days, it’s easier to deal than it is to smoke....& since pot stays in your system much longer than the hard drugs to, drug testing actually PROMOTES the use of the harder drugs ‘cuz a user’s body will “clean” out faster w/ tyhe hard stuff than they would w/ pot.
Since sobriety appears impossible for you, what illegal drugs do you do?
If you want to quibble with the Bible, be my guest.
Quibble: To evade the truth or importance of an issue by raising trivial distinctions and objections.
Anything I can get my hands on. That’s just the way potheads are, remember. LOL
Quibbling is bring up the bible in the first place when it comes to illegal drugs. When something that stupid happens, I tend to go with it.
If you want to get stoned, go to your nearest liquor store.
A bottle of Whiskey, Gin, Vodka will get you stoned out of your mind. And it costs probably less than an oz of pot.
So why is’nt every one getting stoned?
It is because most of us value our health, and our family.
Now just explain to me why illegal drugs is a multi-Billion dollar business. In spite of all the laws on the books!
yes, and repeating my reasons for doing so..
>> Less burglaries and robberies committed by addicts who can not afford the high street prices of illegal pot
>> Fewer cops needed to arrest pot smokers
>> Fewer jails needed to house arrested pot smokers
>> Fewer judges needed to preside over court trials
>> Fewer bailiffs needed in court trials
>> Fewer defense lawyers needed and subsidized by tax payers
>> Fewer court buildings to try pot smokers
>> Fewer criminal gangs making profits on selling pot
>> Bring in additional tax revenues on legal sale of pot
>> Pot is illegal now, and it does not stop any one from obtaining it
All fantasy. The downside will be worse. CA’s already a mess, if this passes, forget it. We’re on a steady slide to the left anyway, it’s a shame to have this issue lost to them as well, but I guess it’s inevitable.
Different strokes for different folks. As for me & my house, I HATE alcohol. I hate its bitter taste, I hate its addictiveness, I hate the violence that it brings in people, I hate vomiting my guts out, & I simply hate being drink.
I'd much rather kick back, smoke a joint & watch TV & laugh w/ my friends while we wait for the pizza delivery guy to knock on the door.
Do you live in CA?
Are you kidding?
Then the CA law won’t affect you, will it?
