I would like to see a Dem justify their love of MaryJane in opposition to their hatred of smoking.
Decriminalization is a much wiser compromise.
Legalization only feeds the federal beast more money.
Democrats are evil but they’re not all stupid. Sooner or later they will start to run on legalization and wrap their position in freedom and choice. It will be hugely popular, enough so that folks that sit out elections will vote and folks who have become wary or tired of their failed socialism will come back and vote for them again. Republicans should take up the fight of legalization and wrap it in terms of individual freedom, smaller government and states rights. Get the voters hooked on those ideas and marijuana could be our gateway drug back to liberty. Unfortunately it is another transformative issue we will stand by and watch the otherside run away with.
Conservatives who hate drugs and want big government prohibition and morality laws fail to understand that the tide of society WILL legalize marijuana in the next day. It’s just a matter of whether Republicans as libertarians and federalists will champion it and use it as a tool to promote liberty and limited government or whether we will let liberals couch it in an anything goes, anti-conservative, anti-church, anti-establishment leftist cause.
If the Democrats so easily embraced “gay marriage” they’ll have no problem endorsing pot. Mark my words, this article is bunk.
Many people can get stoned and still have a great state or a great nation.
And Obama is proof of that Jerry?.
She'll flip positions just as quickly on POT as she and Obama did on GAY MARRIAGE.
