Lawmakers To Discuss Legalizing Marijuana!!

[Guido]

I agree.

I am personally close friends with a number of medical marijuana patients in California, some of whom are also gun people.

Not only would I have no problem with them carrying (and smoking a big fat joint while doing so, if they felt like it), I find it reprehensible that some would deny them their essential liberties and medical freedoms on the nebulous and farcical grounds of "intoxication".

Marijuana is only intoxicating for high school twerps whose only goal is to get "****** up" anyway. They're probably exaggerating. I have never seen an experienced adult user become intoxicated from ingesting normal quantities marijuana.

I recently ran across an interesting Article that pretty much states that Marijuana intoxication is impossible to determine from blood testing without behavioral testing being included, which to me would tend to back up your statement.

SNIP A better tactic is to instead talk about the statistics of those under the influence of the drug compared to the stats of those either sober or drunk. But asking for stories can backfire.

Isn't the best tactic to just require statistics of how MJ was a problem in the first place--before it was criminalized.

I'm not really on the bandwagon to decriminalize MJ, thus I'm not deeply familiar with the facts, but from what little I do know, I kinda doubt there was any real problem in the first place. And, I am absolutely positive there was no problem that outweighed the societal problems arising from giving government the power to arrest people for recreational use and possession.

Oh, Jeezus! What a way to smear honest, hardworking users. Now, you've done vast damage to the decriminalization effort!

Of course, maybe that is the proper approach and a great reason to keep it illegal! "You want to legalize this stuff!?! My, god!! Look what it did to these presidents! It turned them into big-government, constitution-flouting, pro-corporate flunkys of the fractional reserve banksters!"

That oughta sink any decriminalization effort real quick!

Jeez, will it be fun if it is legal?

Maybe why drug seems to go down in more tolerant societies like Portugal....?

Definitely not for the cartels.

DEA and Border Patrol, neither. Or, am I being redundant?

lol

I've lived in a trailer park for 10 years, and have heard first hand from dealers that they didn't what weed legal. Do with that what you will.

Yeah, that was pretty redundant. Try to contribute something new next time.

Sure, I hear it all the time, living in San Francisco. But only from people who profit from production or distribution.

Aside from actual aggressors, those are the only drug dealers whose jailing I wouldn't be morally offended by.

 

[stainless1911]

I'm close to that. I'm for jailing those who sell crap so bad, that you can't even get high. They are the worst kind.

That's fraud. Civil liability is unquestionable.

Reason.tv: Nanny of the Month (March 2011) - Drug Warrior-in-Chief Barack Obama!

March 30, 2011

This time top dishonors go to the Drug Warrior-in-Chief Barack Obama, whose DEA banned fake pot, thwarted a scientist's decade-long campaign to study marijuana, and raided dispensaries in Montana and California—all in one month!

I've been predicting this since the promise was made, and decrying it since it was broken. I'll keep beatin' that drum...

It's money all right. From first-order drug dollars all the way to the prison industry. It's all money.

 

[stainless1911]

Its the American way.
