I smoked pot daily from 1971 to 1984

Never ever did what you claim to me...never once felt unpleasant actually

How many pot warriors here have ever smoked it?

Its hilarious....you guys hate the folks who smoke it...you think they are all libs

Yet we have drink and get drunk threads and folks bragging about being tipsy here like its aok

Its ridiculous.

Alcohol is exponentially more negatively consequential worldwide yet folks here who have never smoked marijuana in their life rail on rabidly from the perch of self righteousness

Likewise I have a friend in Traverse City MI right now dying of alcohol abuse related colon cancer who was told at age 47 he’s down to 3 months yet marijuana is all besides groggy phenagran that helps with chemo and avastin nausea....should he be deprived legal med weed to sate the reefer madness types here....and BTW...he’s a brave stoic some beach....inspiring...just wants enough energy day by day to keep restoring his cherry 57

And yes he detests Obama.....used to work in West Virginia mining

Pot is everywhere and has been for 40 years legalization doesn’t change that

And so far the price is still the same legal as illegal

Why not prohibit alcohol since folks here are so obsessed about public safety...naked girls too...another freeperdom bogeyman

Alienating right wing pot smokers does nothing for us.

You are partially correct though....ingesting THC products is an easy way to over intoxicate and folks don’t wait long enough and then take more when they shouldn’t

Alcohol kills 75000 folks a year in USA

Marihuana ...none from the drug itself but one can probably find some from impaired motor skills and accidents

So it goes back to my premise....those Freepers who rail over this equate pot smokers with leftism

And therefore they must not live in Dixie nor have they smoked much I’d wager....I know at least 100 right wing pot users

What do I think on legalization....against it...but in complete favor of decriminalization down to nuisance level

I have first offense friends with zero history of violence who have been in federal prison since the mid 80s for marijuana smuggling from Jamaica and Colombia

None of your pot warriors will ever convince me that draconian so called justice is just or conservative or should be espoused by those who love liberty

The pot you smoked in the 70s is very different than what is available now. I was answering the comment that there are no increased medical costs etc with MJ, and that is simply not true. I see it all the time in the ED. You can be for or against legalized mj, but you cant ignore facts

As the mother of a substance abuse addicted child, and raising a granddaughter because both parents were using spice, a synthetic mj during pregnancy, I hate the legalization of this gateway drug. It makes kids think it is OK to get into drugs. My granddaughter was born dangerously underweight and still struggles in some areas due to moms drug use, and yet even after losing their child, both kids think mj is not harmful and that it even cures cancer. So dont tell me how wonderful your experience with mj was or how it didnt harm you - some people play with fire and get away unscathed. But that doesnt make fire any less dangerous.
