Waaaaaaaaaa

LOL

Ah, the battle cry of the Democratic Party. ;)

Chances are, you'll grow up first--if your're fortunate.

Then again most pro-dopers are really sad cases of arrested adolescence, children in adult bodies accustomed to having their diapers changed and noses wiped by their superiors.

Party on, dude Party hearty. *snigger*

Boobs.

[Kevin Curry]

And Pardek is the resident Arthur Fonzarelli in this Doperville sitcom. Ayyyyyyyyy!

Ad hominem attacks like this merely show that you have no real argument on your side. I accept your surrender on the War on Drugs.

Most potheads are a pain in the ass. So are alcoholics.

Spending $20 - 30,000 a year to lock up a fool for a PLANT is a waste of my tax dollars.

All of that cash would buy a lot resources to wipe out terrorists who hate the USA.

Bombs away!

Non sequitur; there are ways of maintaining stigmas other than through criminal law.

Huh I guess you live in the world of legalese and not common sense

Opposite---it's you who seem unaware of all the nongovernmental societal structures within which stigmas are maintained.

[MrLeRoy]

the gateway 'theory' has been proven.

Opposite---it's been disproven: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/824600/posts.

The WOD is the most effective way that society employs to control, hinder, and prevent harm to its citizens.

Controlling, hindering, and preventing self-inflicted harm are not legitimate functions of government.

Controlling, hindering, and preventing self-inflicted harm are not legitimate functions of government.

Absolutely.

A ray of hope -- a federal judge just threw out an idiotic class action suit against McDonalds, which claimed that it's McDonalds' fault that the plaintiffs' kids are fat. It would be nice to think that common sense like this will find its way into drug policy.

Stay tuned ...

So, in your world, prison rape of a citizen whose only "crime" is possession of a relatively harmless herb "prevents harm" to citizens?

Whew .... man, you're one scary dude ....

[vin-one]

first of all Dane, what I was saying is that if by getting Medical MJ available,
to sick people would further the chances of this stupid WoSD to end
the end justifies the means,
does not mean that people working for Medical MJ are useful idiots.
If that was the case then the same would apply to you and the Gov't propoganda you constantly preach.

[bassmaner]

Oh wow dude it is a "Bush" conspiracy now(9/11 and all that jazz), while your closet heros Clinton/Reno did nothing against your cause.

Come on, man, you've got to be kidding. Are you actually implying that I believe the Cynthia McKinney tinfoil hat horsehockey about Bush knowing about 9/11 in advance? Give me a break. The point of the 9/11 comment was to state that federal law enforcement priorities were seriously out of whack when they saw fit to bust medipot clinics only 6 weeks after the worst terrorist attack in our country's history. And as far as Klintoon is concerned, more Americans were busted for pot during his 8-year reign than all previous administrations combined, so (for that and a whole host of other reasons) I'm no fan of the Sinkmeister.

Oh BTW, have you seen the news, the newly elected Republican Governor of Maryland has said he will sign a medical marijuana bill that makes "sense"(and "sense" for this purpose doesn't mean the medical Libertarian "sense" of the "medicinal" use of smoking pot and saying "oh wow dude, gnarley" and then going down to the corner 7-11 and clearing out the Cheeto's shelf).

A step in the right direction, from a newly-elected Republican governor. And, BTW, does smoking a little weed and then "saying "oh wow dude, gnarley" and then going down to the corner 7-11 and clearing out the Cheeto's shelf" justify caging a "dude" with sociopathic homosexual rapists? Would you get some kind of sick pleasure watching the kid from the Dell computer commercials get butt-f##k#d by a lifer named Bubba? Don't say it can't happen -- it does, it's arbitrary and capricious, and it's just plain WRONG.

Dane, you are incredible. In the sense that you have ZERO credibility. The ONLY way I could have been comparing you to the two named "worthies" is if you agree with the underlying premise that government should be the definer of our liberties. In THAT case, you would be saying that R. Kelly or David Westerfield should be allowed to define pedophilia. And that is a valid comparison. Now notice, Dame, I am NOT saying YOU are like these two. Please do NOT let it go to your head. You are NOT in their class.

[dcwusmc]

The politest answer one can give the likes of you in a public forum. Not the answer you deserve.

[dcwusmc]

Yes, inter-racial marriage WAS illegal in numerous places, as recently as the early '60s.

I can't tell you how surprised I was to find you on this threat... {snicker}

[That Subliminal Kid]

I think talking about how to cultivate an illegal drug is inappropriate for Free Republic. Take this garbage somewhere else.

[That Subliminal Kid]

Yes, we get it Stew. You're one of millions of people who waste their time, money, and energy on marijuana. I feel sorry for you. We all do. Now stop wasting FR bandwidth posting silly photos of a plant. Nobody is impressed with your obession with drugs.

[MrLeRoy]

I can't tell you how surprised I was to find you on this threat

Nor I you.
