I stopped reading at “...floodgates to marijuana addiction”.

Marijuana stops traffic jams.

Meanwhile, the town of Pueblo, Colorado, is buckling under the expense of “marijuana migrants,” attracted to the town’s pro-marijuana publicity. Instead of finding real work, however, these marijuana migrants live mostly in boxes, resorting to buckets as toilets.

Those people are called bums, and they are a nuisance whether their drug of choice is marijuana or alcohol.

“the floodgates to marijuana addiction”

I didn’t know marijuana had addictive qualities. Is this some type of new marijuana?

[WayneS]

The vast majority of our country, and particularly working-class Republicans, reject the legalization of marijuana with all of its harmful consequences.

Source, please?

[WayneS]

It’s just another anti-marijuana screed from someone who regularly claims to believe in freedom and individual liberty.

[WayneS]

Okay, I lied, I did not stop reading...

In addition, anyone over the age of 21 may smoke pot on private property now in California, simply to get high over and over again.

In addition, anyone over the age of 21 may drink vodka on private property in California, simply to get drunk over and over again.

If you want it legal, Congresscrittur, change the laws. In the meantime, enforce the actual enacted laws. I don’t believe drugs should have ever been made illegal in the first place and I believe that the Law is the Law. Enforce it.

KILLER WEED!!!

The winos I remember from another era hereabouts weren’t much different from the druggies of today. The penchant for theft tends to be more pronounced in the druggies, though.

I think they show up wanting work as pickers and trimmers but when the season’s over you can’t get rid of them.

I thought marijuana use was mandatory now.

‘The vast majority of American reject’. Uh, no. Repeated surveys show approximately 2/3 of American support legalization and where it is submitted to the voters repeatedly passes.

Law enforcement opposes legalization because it takes away a reason to illegally seize money, cars and property under drug confiscation rules.

“Both sides of the aisle” can easily fix this- remove cannabis from Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act.

Sessions then has no cannabis law to enforce.

I think this is a Trump move to force Congress to act, making cannabis a state law issue. Odd that they don’t.

THC addiction users pound floor kick feet...................

If congress repealed the federal anti-marijuana laws and let the states decide what laws they want/don’t want, then I suspect these critters would not be concentrated in only a few areas of the country.

Have you been to Colorado since legalization, Andy? I don’t recognize the state you described.
