I would like to see it be left up to the states.
the sheeple have spoken and they wish to live their lives as slaves to drugs....
there's nothing we can do about it because well, the sheeple....
Karl Marx himself couldn't come up with a quicker way to dismantle the once hardy American spirit....
You attracted a lot of dopers from outside the forum.
Nearly a third of all auto accidents and a high proportion of workplace accidents linked to MJ use. The drug effect on motor response endures in the brain for a very long time after the user thinks the high has ended. Also hard on the lungs. One reefer is equal to a pack of cigarettes.
On the bright side, no company would like to be sued the way Big Tobacco has been. Anyone dopey enough to try to market this crap for a product is going to find out quickly that product liability will kill their profits. Also, employers will quickly have to enforce drug testing wherever usage matters.
Back in the day, seeds were everywhere, and free. Now you can pay upwards of $5 apiece for them.
There is a direct correlation between how well kids do in math and science in school and how well they’ll do in life.
Make flunking a math or science exam a Class A Misdemeanor and give them 180 days in jail.
That’ll teach’em...
My question on the topic is this: if an amendment was required to make alcohol illegal, from whence does the illegalization come from, considering no such amendment exists for regulating drugs?
It's even worse than Prohibition — w/ Prohibition we had an amendment authorizing the regulation, on this issue there is no such analogous amendment.
Thank you for this post!
I dont have a dog in the fight. Dont use it, dont care to have it around me. I think its a nonissue at this point: the bulk of the population either lives in a state where use is legal or is in easy driving distance of a state where its legal. For better or worse, the issue has been resolved. Also I dont see politicians resisting the revenues that legalization would provide. So Legalization will spread.
Personally I dont view it as the governments place to protect everyone from every potential folly. Take stupid drugs, win stupid prizes. Not that my opinion much matters at this point.
Yep, they don’t believe in Consitutional protections and our God given freedoms, they are big govt liberals posing as conservatives.
Doesn’t matter though in 10 yrs maybe less it will be legal across the land.
Free the vegetable and maybe we can proclaim we are the land of the free again with a straight face.
New Jersey is the only state in the union that won't let you pump your own gas.
It's for the children...
No problem with it here, it’s a freedom issue. It will give those of us that avoid it a leg up. Not to mention all the lefties that will be too stoned to vote.
In Colorado some towns and cities ban the stores. Their call. As I mentioned I dont use it and dont care to be around it. In the end I think itll be like the old wet and dry counties.
ditto. Not to mention the War on Drugs has been a total failure in every way. Lets not forget asset forfeiture and how everyone is treated as guilty until proven innocent. It is just an excuse for Government expansion and statist control. But hey, it’s for the children. Like gun control, right?
