“I won’t play the stupid tit for tat game with you, the subject was the War on Drugs.”

You get my point. All that Libertarian nonsense is great in theory but it doesn’t work in real life.

Get rid of Welfare and I’ll join you in the battle against the “War on Drugs”. Until then, I don’t want my tax dollars going to people who are just going to “sit around, get high and watch the tube”.

There was a medicinal side of the store, however silly that was.
I don’t have a problem with the prescription side of the argument if you think it is truly “medicine”. I don’t want Medicaid paying for wine and weed because someone thinks it is medicine.

Original intent isn't a multiple choice proposition.

When this country was founded pot was legal and several founding fathers had businesses involving pot. Pot didn’t become illegal until the 1920’s, so what you are claiming is simply paranoia. I thought only pot smokers were the paranoid type.

I am not trying to avoid the issue. Malkin’s article glorifies marijuana use.

You pointed out that it was illegal until the 1920’s and I pointed out that America was a far different country back then. If you got stoned out of your mind and couldn’t support yourself, you basically starved or got killed trying to steal.

Now, if you can’t work because you are stoned on pot, you get to live off the hardworking taxpayers.

Also, there were actually Christian values in America back then so a majority of people would avoid idiotic, immoral behavior like pot smoking, whether it was legal or not.

Keep in mind that the rise of the marijuana culture and the decline of America occurred at the very, same time. The late 1960s.

Pot is a tool of the Marxist/Statist enemies of America to enslave the American people.

I don’t doubt that she is being duped into it out of a false sense of “compassion” for her mother in law, but whatever her motives, she is glorifying a drug that is clearly being used by the Left to turn America into a nation of drugged up, compliant sheep, with no ability to resist them.

Also, bear in mind that by Federal Law marijuana use is a bar to gun ownership. A drugged up, disarmed population is a tyrant’s dream.

A cogent point well made, schoolboy. Salute.

"Things were different then" is the stock answer the living document revisionists use to destroy the original intent of the Constitution.

They're using pot to coerce you into joining them, and you're falling for it.

So not only is she a Marxist support, but stupid too, and easily manipulated.

Which is why she writes under her own name and you post anonymously.

” used by the Left to turn America into a nation of drugged up, compliant sheep, with no ability to resist them.”

1. Liberals that use pot are already compliant sheep; pot won’t be changing that.

2. Conservatives don’t use pot in such a manner as to become compliant sheep.

So, what’s your point that changes anything?

You are 100% correct. This and the gay stuff truly are going together in a sweeping socialization change in this country. If freepers love what’s happening now, they ain’t seen nothing yet.

Also, her anecdotal evidence of people being so greatly improved by it is in sharp contrast to the mental hospitals and drop outs that I encountered from users over the years.

Define ‘such a manner’. Does that mean if you’re conservative you won’t be all screwed up psychologically from using it? Or does that mean they won’t use it by definition? There’s a lot of ex-conservatives that have ‘opened their mind’ from it and are now either libertarians or liberals. Since the 60s, I’d say most of the issue comes from it.

Me? No.

You? I suspect that you are projecting.

Liberals believe if they ban guns that the very people they think are murdering nutcases with guns will be compliant and civil and comply with the gun ban.

You have basically said the same thing about conservatives: They can be trusted but not in the presence of pot, then they’ll just turn into weak-minded, screwed up potheads.
