Wait a minute. Why am I warning you? I ought to give you a map of all the groves here in Northern California and encourage you to visit them. Unannounced.
Some folks apparently learn nothing from history. You could have said exactly the same thing about folks distilling liquor during the 20s. It wasn't a problem before prohibition, and it wasn't a problem after prohibition. I don't see the local Budweiser and Miller distributors shooting it out over territory these days. Must be the media suppressing it or something.
Once it's just another crop, what you are describing will be history, just like the gin-runners of the 20s. Pot should be completely legalized and sold just like tobacco and alcohol.
Has Sessions addressed this issue?
ATF: Medical marijuana cardholders may not purchase firearms
People who obtain medical marijuana cards cannot legally purchase firearms from a federally licensed dealer, an ATF spokesperson told 40/29 News.
Marijuana is illegal under federal law regardless of Arkansas law, Kevin Moran with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives told 40/29. It is against the law to possess firearms while using marijuana, whether the marijuana is being used medicinally or not.
In addition, Americans are not allowed to buy guns from licensed dealers if they use marijuana or have a medical marijuana card.
When you buy a gun from a licensed dealer, you are required to fill out form 4473. Question 11. e. on the form asks you if you’re an unlawful user of marijuana or other substances. Because marijuana is illegal federally, Arkansans will be considered to be unlawful users regardless of state law.
If you answer ‘YES’ to Question 11. e., you will be denied a firearm.
If you lie on the form and answer ‘NO’ to Question 11. e., you could face serious legal consequences.
The AFT sent a letter to all federally licensed firearms dealers in 2011 instructing them not to sell guns to people with medical marijuana cards. The ATF says the card gives a dealer “reasonable cause to believe” the person uses marijuana and should be denied a firearm.

I asked a simple question. A yes or no is an easy response. Or “sey” or “on” if you are dyslexic.
You say weed should be legal and we can fend for ourselves on every thing out there.
Should heroin be legal to buy just like weed is in some states now?
I answered your question, Billy.
You dodge and tap-dance like a little sissy,
never mind lying about what I “say”...
I say that if heroin, or crack cocaine, or meth, were legal to purchase tomorrow, it wouldn’t make a user out of me.
I say you’re a fool for believing that passing a law banning a plant will have any effect on the behavior of people who *will* use drugs.
I believe that if you continue to cede to the supposed authorities the power to regulate your existence, they will.
Breast cancer kills four times as many people annually as heroine overdose.
Do you suppose banning breasts would help to keep you safe?
“But now, from what I understand, as I haven’t smoked pot since the mid 70s, is that its pretty strong and hallucengenic and zone out.”
Only if you use too much can that happen. Cannabis is a lot stronger now than in the 70’s to be sure.
As a medical marijuana patient in the state of Florida I can assure you cannabis being stronger these days is a GOOD thing as it takes less cannabis to do the job than it would have in the 1970’s. For us lower-middle class folks that’s a big deal. Medical marijuana is not cheap at all!
Do you think heroin should be legal to purchase just like weed? It’s a simple question. No need to obfuscate so much.
Tobacco companies should add mind-altering drugs to their cigarettes so that not only the will state and local governments allow people to smoke them unrestrictively, but that health-insurance plans can pay for them. It would be a huge boon to a tobacco industry hindered by fascist governments.
I already answered you, Troll.
I’m bored with your trolling. You didn’t get your “Aha!” so you’ve moved the goalposts; just like your earlier dishonesty in claiming you asked, when you did not.
Answer my questions.
Do you support the banning of Q-tips to prevent people from injuring themselves?
If not; Where do you draw the line on government interference into your personal choices?
Are you really so addled as to believe that making heroin (your choice of drug, not mine) legal will really create thousands of new heroin addicts?
Addicts are created by the pharmaceutical companies. I have a daughter who makes her living treating opioid addicts. 100% of her clients come to her with medical addictions, 0% street drugs.
Hell no, I do not support legalization of heroin for recreational use, nor do I support the outlawing of a naturally occurring plant. People are responsible for their choices. If we want smoking pot to be illegal, outlaw smoking pot... Outlawing the plant is just stupid.
It’s the exact same kind of stupid that asserts that outlawing guns prevents killings.
I support non-interference by the government in areas not specifically given to them in the U.S. constitution.
Let me explain some things to you that you’ve never been able to figure out for yourself:
Fentanyl, 50 times stronger than natural heroin is completely legal. It also accounts for a major portion of the overdoses attributed to heroin, as it is often mixed in to street drugs to increase their potency, this also renders the standard treatment for heroin overdose ineffective.
Fentanyl is legal because it provides profits to the US pharmaceutical industry, which uses that money to buy off politicians who then pass laws to their benefit.
In ALL CASES the legalization of pot within the states has come with a licensure scheme. Why? Because it makes money for politicians and their donors.
Can you imagine the damage unregulated marijuana and opium growing would cause to the CIA’s profitability? How would they be able to support their Afghanistan growing operations, and gun-running to the Mexican cartels? Legalize pot? Man, are you mad?
Your liberty is being controlled by politicians, to the exclusive benefit of politicians and the donor class. You fear pot growing in someones back yard because they told you to, not because it’s dangerous.
What they fear is individual liberty and personal responsibility.
These pot threads always bring the prohibitionists out in force.
I’m not sure why those people are even here.
Freedom and prohibition really don’t go together...
Wow.
“That would be because the factors in a relatively modern society that allow the existence of freeloaders who exist only to get high did not exist before industrialization.”
Thanks, I have told people exactly that on more than one occasion. Even when I was growing up it would have been impossible to support the percentage of the population that we have been trying to support with them contributing very little or nothing to their own support. The liberals who rave that we who don’t want to work just to support people who won’t work are heartless villains don’t seem to understand that just one hundred years ago there would have been no way possible for that percentage of the population to live on the dole, they would have had to make their own way or starve.
Whatever is a 215 card please?
Our ancestors were snickered on hard cider.
Fine example of fedgov taking a leak on both the Second and Tenth Amendments.
Sadly, there are some who are bappy to hold their cranks while they do so.
bappy = happy
For the most part, our ancestors drank wine and beer because it was much safer than drinking the water. With the wonders of modern water treatment, it is no longer necessary to drink fermented beverages.
Our bodies actually have mechanisms to destroy alcohol very quickly once consumed. This is not the case with THC.
