Those remarks follow comments issued last summer by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts), who introduced H.R. 5843 -- an act to remove federal penalties for the use of marijuana by "responsible adults." ...

Barney the pervert delivers for the forces of evil once again.

What a disgustingly corrupt administration will be ruling our lives and putting the finishing touches on ruining our economy!

by the end of his tenure in office.

Why wait/

Just to create an election year issue that attract the young and the listless to the voting booth, of course.

Cynical bastard.

Meanwhile, they’re on the road to criminalizing tobacco, sugar, fat, fast food, and junk food.

Barry can obey Soros’ Prime Directive if he wants but he will declare himself as frivolous in the eyes of the public if he does so.

“President O-bong-o” is not the sort of “branding” any administration should want to take on.

[Cicero]

George Soros wants to decriminalize drugs.

[pepperhead]

Is Big Jail-Prison going to allow it?

Unfortunately, there is no way Obama or any president and Congress will do this.

Photoshop is the best!

Can’t a brother get a smoke on, and drink on, and snack on. Chill my babies.

>>Why wait<<

I agree. I’ve got to have something to help make it through the next four years.

Legal, I might just go for it.

will employers be able to hire/fire on the basis of + urine drug screen in your idealized world of decriminalization ? Because of the persistence of the substance, it makes casual use and employment mutually exclusive.

Pot is the forces of evil?

Really?

[trumandogz]

I believe in employment at will. Thus, an employer can fire someone for a failed drug test or for smoking Marlboros.

The legal status of pot has no bearing on such an employment decision.

[ichabod1]

If it was legal, I probably would. Yet another reason I’m glad I don’t live in california.

No, but they will hire & fire on the basis of illiteracy.

Like not beginning a sentence with a capital letter.

[gusopol3]

it does if a bus driver is + after an accident or a truck driver, or any other of a myriad of liability issues, just as with alcohol, a legal substance, which is relatively quickly cleared from the body.

[gusopol3]

check your tag line, scholar.

decriminalizing marijuana by the end of his tenure

Why wait? Do it now. The drug war is a farce.

[Fresh Wind]

Rats know that once pot is legal, they can tax it.
