The Illinois House of Representatives voted narrowly on Wednesday to legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes, bringing the state a step closer to becoming the 21st in the United States to allow some form of pot use to treat illness. [...]

This is probably a good thing. I mean, given what a mess the Dems have made out of Illinois, I’d smoke pot too if I lived there.

Medicinal purposes. Like "slowin' your roll".
By shielding it under “medicinal purposes”, its use cannot be grounds for termination (however you CAN be fired for smoking tobacco in your own time if your employer prohibits it).
Here’s a little song I wrote
While in the corner, smoking dope
“Don’t worry. Be a hophead.”
Here is my advice to you
While the feds pretend to rescue you
“Don’t worry. Be a hophead.”
oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo (Don’t worry)
oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo, oo (Be a hophead)
oo, oo, oo, oo, oooooh (Don’t worry. Be a hophead)
The landlord says the rent is late
Just sit there and masturbate
Don’t worry. Be a hophead...
Like nausea, pain, and AIDS wasting.
I presume you are retired, with not much to do.
If not...don’t give up your day job.
Will fraudulent use, prescription abuse, etc. be prosecuted as if it was xanex? Or will it be “up to the local communities” to determine if there will be prosecution?
Do you support Illinois’ authority under the Tenth Amendment to carry out this policy?
Don’t pussyfoot about it. Decriminalize it or legalize it. If you support more scofflaw legislation that is just a shrug from liberals, go right ahead.
Your money will subsidize those fraudulent “prescriptions”.
Can I get a taxpayer funded 6-pack, mack?
So do you support Illinois’ authority under the Tenth Amendment to carry out this policy - YES or NO?
The state is run by crooks.
"Do as thou wilt shall be the law of the land."
Make you happy? Is this your agenda?
Make the abortion pill an over the counter medicine so anyone can get it at any age yet birth control pills are still paid for by insurance/welfare. Right?
"Do as thou wilt shall be the law of the land."
Make you happy? Is this your agenda?
Capone made his money exactly on the fact that "Do as thou wilt" was not the law of the land - specifically as applied to the mind-altering drug alcohol. Today we have pot Capones aplenty because of the pot ban - is this your agenda?
Not terribly surprising that you'd quote from another question-dodger.
Why won't you answer a simple question on whether or not you support the Constitution?
It wasn’t just drugs, prostitution, and booze making money for “Capones”. The mob owns unions, labor, and politicians.
Chicago is filthy.
“Do as thou wilt” is the so called ‘Satanist philosophy” of Alister Crowley.
But at least I’m not defending the use of easy scrips for dopeheads because the “upright” politicians are too chickensh!t to just legalize it. Kind of like how they let the activists change laws on homosexuality though the courts rather than the legislature.
But do whatever you want. No body cares about any laws in this country anymore. Come and go to this land as you please from wherever, no matter your criminal background, no matter your current state of health (viruses got rights too!).
America’s in decline. Have at it.
Now, Ken, you know very well why he won't.
All the progressive blue states are lining up behind pot. Big, big surprise.
But it was a big part. Do you favor or oppose the laws that hyperinflate pot profits and channel those profits to today's Capones?
