White house to crack down on Rec. Marijuana

sound like the prohibitionists of the past with alchol

- - - Updated - - -

actually they are not, that is a myth

but that said, now that legal people are using alternatives to smoking more often

 

Trump said this prior to election



maybe Trump is not really running the show....... and is just a puppet

....

 

I agree the post was uncalled for.

 

While I agree with the theme of your post, Pres Trump is most certainly giving a mixed message at best.

 

they do nothing to defend the freedom of others, maybe now they will come down from their marijuana high and defend their own freedom.

 

That was back when he didn't attend CPAC. Now he's cozying up to them..

 

What does that even mean?

I know plenty of separated, & active duty service members, & police officers that partake.

 

Your quoted study seems to indicate that if people were allowed to use cannabis while doing repetitive agricultural tasks they might find that type of work more bearable.

Eureka! A solution to how to get our vegetables and fruits picked once all our migrant farmers desert us in disgust.

Somebody tell Trump....

 

yep, Trump has become a Puppet, no longer thinking for himself

 

Maybe it's time for everyone to become Rastafarians.

 

I'm very aware of the laws, that's why I said what I said.
If the feds had rescheduled weed as it should be then I'd be fine.

 

Just those what wanna Sista!

Rastafari Yaweh!

 

It's just a way to keep the private prisons supplied with fresh inventory so that the politicians can get rich. Of course the dummy jurors could refuse to convict but they are dummies so they won't.

 

But states cannot override federal law.

 

active duty service members and police are not allowed to use illegal drugs.

how do police defend freedom when they use marijuana while taking the freedom of those who do?

 

Lol!

I'm not "allowed" to smoke due to my work either, but thanks to the miracle of chemistry, I (and millions of others) have access to top notch products, which allow my fluids to become "clean" within 5 hours.... For a limited window of time.

The police I know, tend to look the other way more often than not, when dealing with people caught up in the game.

They, & many of their fellow officers, all feel that this war on an herb, serves no logical purpose, other than political financial gain.

 

I agree with the others that it should be up to the states to decide. I'm actually okay with it being legalized in my state, but with restrictions. I had to travel to Denver a lot for work last year and the marijuana was way more pervasive than I thought it would be. I hate the smell and it was pretty much unavoidable everytime I went there. I couldn't even go eat an Applebee's bar without someone wreaking of it. You should absolutely be allowed to use it in the privacy of your own home and denying it to people for medical purposes is cruel. But, PLEASE be respectful of where you use and grow it. If you're not willing to do that then the law should be on my side not yours. Am I being unreasonable here?

 

Not in the least.

As a matter of fact, your honest issue with the herb, communicated well, will find a positive resolution, should you approach someone in your area IRL.

People do get nose blind.... And We PoTheads, well, most of us, don't wish to offend.

EDIT: even after your edit, all's good.

 

Fortunately most people share your attitude. I think eventually things will straighten out. I liken it to how smokers behaviors have changed over the decades. Most have actually become very respectful. Once the novelty of legalized marijuana wears off and cooler heads prevail it'll probably all work out. I do believe that.

 

Let me tell you this.

I at 46, along with the plethora of other, older PoTheads, really never thought, realistically at least, that we'd see wide spread medicinal legalization, let alone outright recreational.

We've a way to go in terms of the Federal level, but the times, they be a changing.

To shorten, anyone who uses cannabis, especially in those "Happy Valley" areas where @ the State level they are no longer criminals, will never have an issue accommodating those who don't wish to partake.

Like most of life, it's a choice. So long as noone's getting hurt, live & let bake.

 

State's rights went out the window after the civil war. The supreme law rules all the land.

 

This...It is amazing to be how Marijuana got so vilified in this country. Show me how it is more dangerous than Alcohol or Tobacco yet those are perfectly legal and found everywhere. How many cases of drunk driving is there or all the health problems associated with Tobacco. I dont smoke and never will but I think its dumb that we dont just make it legal and tax it. We could get so much tax revenue from it and save money by not making it illegal and having to enforce it and spending more time going after crimes that actually hurt people or are more dangerous.

 

There is a powerful tug of war going on between the weed and prison industries. There's much money to be made and/or lost for both sides.

 

I always found it odd that they needed a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol, but not any other drugs.

 

The above is a poor argument. Bad men make bad laws - and this is one of the worst.

I don't smoke the stuff but it is not about that. It is about individual rights and freedoms. Just because people who hate the Constitution and the principles on which this nation was founded manage to get into power and make law that is an illegitimate abuse of their power and authority - is no reason to support such law by supporting it's enforcement.

And that my friend is reality

Believing in "freedom" is not about believing only in freedoms we agree with - everyone does that. It is about believing in freedom for things we don't necessarily like - the caveat being that one person's freedom ends where the nose of another begins.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Supporting the enforcement of bad law is doing nothing.
