pilots have spent a great deal of time and money to become pilots, and every step of the way their morals are tested, in school and every day on the job they get rated —every step of the way and every flight. A doper wont make it far as a commercial pilot. Pilots as a whole dont drink preflight. And I doubt they would smoke dope even if it was legal. P.S. find a new opinion, the “pilots drink’ “ alcohol is legal’ are old and those who use it automatically are dismissed as idiots. Pps. Comparing alcohol to dope is like comparing bb guns to ar-15’s.. they both are gonna hurt but one is gonna mess you up much faster. And it aint the booze.

“a nation full of stoned adults”

Why? The drug alcohol is legal yet we don’t have a nation full of drunk adults.

If you’ve never seen people smoking dabs, you should.

This shows some of the more lung-friendly ways to do it. I’ve watched the homeless sit around and heat “nails” with a torch. Nails are metal tubes. They then stick them in their wax and take a superheated toke. THC levels are around 60%, I believe. . Dumbasses.

Decriminalization with a tax?
On something that grows in the ground?
That won’t cause problems.\s

A sedated public, which is stone cold stupid even when sober, is the delight of the political class.

They can rob, pillage and spout endless nonsense to the semi conscious public.

The Trump administration is asking the public to submit comments to help inform the U.S.’s position on the potential global reclassification of marijuana.

It’s not about drugs. It’s not about marijuana.

It’s about pandering to negros. It’s about Africanization of the City States masquerading as oppressive drug laws. It’s about not actually losing the small margin of negro votes necessary to maintain control of the City States

Black Lives Matter only because the small margin of votes must not be lost

“While the states are doing it, it’s still illegal federally. In Florida, while it’s possible to get a medical marijuana card and go to a dispensary to purchase it, you are waiving your right to own a firearm. I kid you not, if you get a medical marijuana card in Florida, you are abrogating your right to self-defense because Form 4473 requires that you attest you are not an illegal user of marijuana under Federal law.”

This is the real reason they haven’t changed the law yet. The left sees this as a way of removing your right to own a gun. If it was just because its a drug they would have eliminated the law once Biden was put in office, and why they didn’t when Obama was in office.

Meh. I don’t care. The money this country spent on the war on drugs is crazy. Marijuana is basically going to be legal anyway. I’m for saving money.

Sounds like the licensing scheme to grow for the State. When it becomes legal(soon) individuals will be able to store 5 pounds of weed. They can cultivate up to three mature plants, and three immature plants. Those numbers double for a household. Marijuana will become like zucchini in summer. Essentially free, if you grow your own, or know someone that does. That undercuts the dispensaries to the point that they lower prices. on flower. But they sell concentrates and ebibles.

Thanks. I’ll have to look into it. And everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that you can ingest cannabis without smoking it at all. Which I imagine lowers the cancer risk substantially.

I think you missed my point. But you’re kind of a jerk so I’ll let you figure it out.

The very high taxes on legalized marijuana guarantee that a strong black market will remain in place.

The states have forgotten rule number one of taxation:

Pigs get fat but hogs get slaughtered.
