“Tactically, it’s a good move for us. I know more than one person who is genuinely conservative, as in loving the Constitution, who distrust drug warriors just as much as any gun grabber. With good reason.”
I once inhaled a puff, when very drunk (and, not being a smoker, I burned the crap out of my throat and coughed it right up), but I’m in favor of legalization...so long as anyone who smokes it is held fully responsible for all of the consequences thereof. It isn’t government’s place to control this, and when combined with other laws and regulations it is a key piece of the plan to effectively make all of us mere citizens into serfs.
Just as the Democrats are too stupid to see that anti-gun laws are tactically bad for them and good for us. ALL we need to do is get the whole ‘schedule ‘ thing dispensed with- which we should be doing as constitution loving conservatives anyway - to take an issue away from the Democrats. Especially with so many dispensaries, when we can concentrate the publicity on all the stupid taxes the Dems are imposing we might gain ground. More than one former hippie has changed to Republican as soon as they open their own business :-)
