Note the parallel to gun-control initiatives with respect to criminals vs. the law-abiding.
This is more like a case study of Soros’ influence peddling machines trying to legalize narcotics. In Colombia they voted 95% against it because they know first hand the crime, addiction devastation, and death that comes with drugs. All drugs.
More laws...Ban guns, ban beer..ban cars that can go faster than the speed limit...Ban it all
These people are obviously Loserdopians whose heads need a couple of cracks from the Fed’s nightstick so they can learn to ThinkRight.
Yes, that's right. Billions.
Jail is big, big business for those sheriff's departments that have nominal management at county jails.
It also cures pernicious dandruff.
Hope that’s sarcasm. If not, submit a resume to the sheriff’s department. You’d do great in inmate management.
I know it’s illegal but I want it therefore I should be allowed to have it.
I’m sure you will get flamed for your post, but you are spot on. There will always be these pull-at-the-heart-strings stories out there. The Left practically invented this emotional tactic.
The bottom line is that there are always better medical alternatives to marijuana. Most people with more than one brain cell left know that the whole “medical marijuana” angle is a ruse, an effort to slowly break down the resistance.
I have no doubt this guy is thoroughly convinced that marijuana helps his wife, but the science says that there are better alternatives.
It is time to stop the deception. Medical marijuana is the pathway used to legalize smoking pot, the path of least resistance.
Why not advocate legalizing the plant-based drugs, cocaine or heroin too?
lol...Ya never know anymore....Ya got people out here cheering on the feds....yuk yuk...
The best sarcasm is when people can't even tell it's sarcasm!
Wow . . . a '98er. Can't believe we've never crossed paths before on the WOD threads.
So they can make Tobacco into gum and Patches, but they cannot make Marijuana into a pill?????
This is the MAIN issue I have with “Medical Pot”
Funny stuff...
Tobacco should be banned!!
Those using the gum need to pay additional fees and should be registered and licensed. In fact, those who are against this, should be investigated.
I got run off plenty of those threads. lol, miss A+Bert, tho. Old Atlanta, too.
“Why not advocate legalizing the plant-based drugs, cocaine or heroin too?”
Exactly so! That is the question to raise.
Why does anyone having witnessed the history of the last 100 years trust the government to act in good faith for the benefit of the people in matters involving money, especially huge amounts of money?
Legalizing opium and cocaine would be a net benefit to society, even if it is some sort of an imposition on control freaks, and deprives certain interests of their revenues.
Actually, in this specific case, her husband flat-out reported that science does not. And perhaps I'm reading too much into this story, but her husband sounds like the sort of fellow who'd move heaven and earth to help ease his wife's pain and suffering, so if science could offer him a viable alternative, I'd bet dollars to doughnuts he'd be on board with it.
Doesn't the 10th Amendment leave that decision to the states? Do you support honoring the 10th?
