Alcohol reduces your inhibitions and sometimes allows you to make stupid or evil decisions. But when you sober up the effect is gone. With marijuana, each time there is a residual that builds up until you do stupid or evil things without the marijuana. Essentially chipping away at your conscience until there is none. Until you are 26, that part of your brain is still developing and can be affected to a greater degree.
Feds shouldn’t make drug laws. Let States decide.
The controlled substance act needs to be completely revised. Feds should only be involved in cases that involve interstate or international drug trafficking.
Probably gets a better high than from his wine
Source?
What has the supremacy clause got to do with federal overreach? Big fan of Roe v. Wade, are you? It required a Constitutional amendment to prohibit alcohol consumption. Why not “dope?”
Then lets bring back alcohol prohibition. That was a smashing success.
How do you feel about booze and cigarettes?
I would be a very happy man if all we argued about was legal marijuana. That’s not reality. If conservative American make it states rights issue in exchange for the same for the hearing protection act. Or something close on the freedom side of the debate. Then do it!!!!! Save us from the nanny state.
Ha ha, you're right, I mixed up my Ohio RINOs. John Kasich's father was the mailman, John Boehner's father owned a family bar.
Inhaling it isn’t the only way to get it into your system.
Because prohibition has been so effective.
True. But unfortunately smoking seems to be by far the preferred method of use, which will add to the toll taken lung cancer.
No kidding. It is legal in my state. I bought it for pain and sleep issues. I don’t use it for recreation.
Could they please do something about the cost? I had to pay $199 for a half oz. The tax on that was $38! Who carries that amount of cash around? The ATM costs $3, and the amount distributed only goes to $200. I had to hit the ATM for another $3 to get the additional $37 in cash! Expensive on a fixed income! Ticks me off. It is 100% pure, but I can’t afford that. Highway robbery.
Because it almost always comes back to bite you on the butt.
I'm on a road trip to Arizona to sell a house. Pot's legal here with a card. Which anybody can get. So legal pot.
I live in Florida and it's legal there to vape marijuana oils with a card. The next initiative on the ballot will legalize real pot. Buds bought from a dispensary. Just like in Arizona. Again legal pot.
Colorado, California and who knows how many more states (fill-in the blanks) have already legalized it's use.
And this trend and demand is expanding, not shrinking. Which means more states will legalize it, not fewer.
So to say it's never going to happen in this country is ignoring the facts on the ground. It's already happening.
So I agree that the trend is in favor of national legalization of marijuana. But to get a decent job, you have to pass a drug test, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
