Now we are NAZI’s
see how libertarians and leftists use the exact same language against conservatives?
I remember America before marijuana became widespread—it was better then. Before the pot revolution few families had members who were drug users. After the pot revolution drugs of all kinds proliferated resulting in early deaths, broken families and abused children. I have a niece who got involvled in drugs in 1970s she was murdered at the age of forty after using drugs for many years, she was locked up many times, had numerous pregnancies and abortions and ended up dead on the streets after a beating. An uncle of my son-in-law died of a drug overdose after using drugs for many years. His life was a slow tailspin in which he lost his business, his wife and his children, stole money from his own family and ended up living in the streets where he died.
This insanity began in the late 1960s and it hasn’t stopped since.
If anyone has had problems with drugs or knows someone who does, will you share your story with us?
They are both tone deaf.
The Feds require that the license be yanked. Same rule as with methodone.
You can use these substances to your heart's content, but get behind the wheel of a semi, and say goodbye to your license.
And a diagnosis of active alcoholism carries the same penalty. The ADA does not apply in these cases. Public safety takes precedence.
“libertarians and leftists use the exact same language against conservatives?”
Those police officers JB references are “conservatives”?
Since when is violating the Constitution and being a thug because you have a badge “conservative”? I might not call them “proto-Nazis,” but those cops are certainly on their way.
Marijuana didn’t cause the decline of Western civilization. At most, it is a symptom.
More to the point, the cure of armed thugs smashing down doors of innocent people is worse than the symptoms.
We can reconsider some of the policies toward dealing with illegal drugs, its users and its sellers but we cannot just look the other way. The war on drugs has been in place for about 40 years so it is time to review some of its practices but we cannot ignore the depth and seriousness of the drug plague. Many thousands have died early deaths because of drugs. Most drug users begin experimenting with drugs when they are in their teens so they are not mature enough to fully consider the outcome it will have on their lives. Teenagers tend to feel that they are immortal and often believe that their parents don’t know anything.
Remember what opium did to the people of China?

“we cannot just look the other way”
Getting rid of out-of-control paramilitary anti-drug cops and bizarre seizure laws is not “looking the other way.”
Drugs are a problem, yes. Stormtroopers are not the answer.
Doing “something for the children” even if it doesn’t work is what liberals do.
The gubmint unions aren't sick of it yet. From arrest to prosecutions to incarcerations...unions all get their cut.Building more prisons = "good union jobs"
