thank you
give me just a minute.
i like what you wrote.
“Pot is Satanic oh it is horrible. How dare someone to smoke a weed that grew in their back yard. That is crazy.”
See, it might be funny if you were able to make your sarcasm a little more subtle, but since you are a pothead, you can’t do that anymore. There are probably a lot of things you can’t do anymore. On the plus side of being a pothead, you don’t even care anymore either.
There are many behaviors that, if legalized, would be far more commonplace.
Have you ever seen a Lion?
Have you ever seen a Bird?
Have you ever seen a Monkey?
Or an Elephant or a Baboon or a Manatee?
Just leave it alone. Some times the best thing to do is just, get out of the way.
Just my opinion. Let it go...
RFE what do you got CDMS GMS UMTS TDMA? What not the old AM/FM crap.
Lu band satellite comms.
So if I drink a little Whiskey when I come home at night, which I understand is fairly widespread, then what? Am I a Wiskeyhead?
That is actually what most people do.
Today’s marijuana is many magnitudes the potency of yester-year.
Average Federal time served for sale of marijuana: 33 months
Allowing the FedGov to dictate what you can and can't grow in your garden, or smoke in your own home: Priceless
Most people take one or two hits?
Well, whatever. Not in my realm of experience.
kudos
dunno if u seen this one yet.
And you’ve never seen somebody ruined by cigarettes? By Alcohol? By Gambling? Heck every fat person out there has been ruined by candy and junk food. Should we ban all that stuff as well?
Do you want the government to make all the decisions for you?
Where are you going to draw the line?
I have a friend who here in CA has a medical card for marijuana. I am on pain management for a severe back injury, morphine and percocet are the drugs I’m taking this month. Sometimes if I am at her house and don’t have my pain meds on me and she is smoking, I will take a puff or 2 tops. It takes the edge of my pain and helps me relax until I can get home to my meds. I can’t drive because of seizures so I take public transportation so I’m not driving after smoking it. If I make the connections it still takes me almost an hour to get home from her place. Without that puff or 2 that would be a miserable hour. I have actually been offered a script for marijuana by my doctor but haven’t taken her up on it. I may smoke it 1 or 2 times a month at most. Don’t know what this ads in the long run just to say I am someone who can take 1 puff and stop even though there is more available. And that one puff can do almost as much as my pain meds.
Probably the very same people who are ok with letting the government tell us what guns we can & can't own, among other things.
You should. Those "pain management" drugs you mentioned are hell on the kidneys, and highly addictive.
“Everyone did it (and harder stuff) in the 70s and 80s and most came out fine”
That’s a lie and thosae that did aren’t fine!
Anyone that uses it belongs in prison!
How so? I'm pretty amazed by the number of Conservatives that share your opinion.
“Am I a Wiskeyhead?”
You are acting like you don’t know the pathology of the chronic pot smoker. It is a sad thing to see. How many otherwise bright people have you seen turn into people whose lives revolve around the consumption of pot?
Alcohol is a different problem - but unrelated to this one, except perhaps in a faux moment of THC-induced clarity.
But, my opinion is that pot should be legalized, but government benefits all kinds, including student loans, and welfare denied if an individual test positive for this or any other drug - I’d include alcohol too.
“Allowing the FedGov to dictate what you can and can’t grow in your garden, or smoke in your own home: Priceless”
You forgot one other statistic: Amount of government provided benefits - food stamps, welfare, and other great-society transfer payments that is used to purchase marijuana and other drugs.
Per my previous post, I do support legalization, if government benefits of all kinds were predicated on a negative drug test. I’d also let employers test anytime they wish. As many employers already do.
I have been an advocate of this for some time now. You SHOULD have to pass a drug test before getting government benefits. And as for businesses drug testing, that is their right and, as you mentioned, most do, so then all that is left is getting weed legalized and making a negative test requisite (sp?) before receiving government benefits. I fail to see the problem.
My first thought, too.
A plant that literally grows like a weed in the yard and which requires no processing to use should not be controlled, taxed or made illegal by the government.
But don’t listen to me, I still rant about the Whiskey rebellion and Washington taking troops into Western Pennsylvania.
Making marijuana illegal creates the same problems that Prohibition did. We expose young people to drug dealers who really want to get them on addictive drugs and put them at risk for jail sentences when it’s unnecessary.
I don’t smoke marijuana - have only seen it when the police brought it to a church youth meeting in high school and at 2 parties when I had had too much alcohol in college - but this is a wrong law. However, I would spend more time and energy fighting the stupid laws that make me show ID and limit my purchase of Sudafed than on marijuana laws.
