I'd say the lack of Obamanomics jobs has a lot to do with it, huge student loans and no way to pay for them. The people will fix that in November.
Lets take this a bit further an try to understand the draw illegal drugs have on underage children. I suggest and all studies I have seen done in places that legalize cannabis found a drop of teenage use of the substance! Amazing but quite true, the reason is so obvious and well known through out society but the haters of this thread will never admit it sadly enough. Some kids will try it, esp teenagers, it is called experiementation now you have the second reason an this one is what many on this thread seemingly going thru life believing everything some narcissitic cop tells them but in fact its called "Stigma". By outlawing cannabis you give it a stigma, which is desireous to many rebellious young folk esp males! You know that "Bad Guy" image that sells so well to little Debbie down the street. These so call Progressive Conservatives that find this subject so stimulating at least with their name calling an class envy cr-ap sentence their own kids to their stupidity, it isn't ignorance it is just plain stupidity. Ignorance is not knowing but stupidity is knowing and doing the stupid thing anyway. What really is shocking, these Progressive Conservatives that raves an stresses the importance of God, the God of Christianity is quite clear on this subject! Oh yes he is! Yet the so called Progressive Conservative on this issue an others suggest God is stupid an much like Obama, sure it is in the Bible on how to view plants (all plants) yet that isn't what God meant! They the Conservative Progressive will of course tell you what God really M_E_A_N_T becuase God just didn't know! Now this only gets better, I like to grow things and years ago in a trial grow we took, yes we took legal seeds and grew them! Poppy Seeds, that is okay but cannabis seeds, no that will get you 5 plus years on manufacturing charges! Not only that, the entire Hemp Market has been done away with because of the simple fact Hemp threaten big oil and paper! You can say its false but history is quite clear on lead the charge against the Hemp plant! These people are so freaking idiots (stupid is just not enough) they believe anything! One time someone suggested to me that wild hemp fields (hemp is native to North America) that sophisticated growers of cannabis would hide their grows amoung wild hemp fields so they have to be chop down. I just look an say "can anyone be that stupid in reality" but yes the cop took offense but the truth tends to have a cut to it. Simple fact is, no grower in their right minds would grow a crop of cannabis in hemp unless you want your cannabis crossed with the hemp plant that will "Destroy" your cannabis! You would think if these people had a half a brain functioning they would leave hemp alone knowing anyone trying to grow in it will not harvest anything of value! Yet we can move onto the founding fathers rather curious love affair with the hemp plant, no they are not enough to sway the progressive conservative. They say Hell with God and our Founding Fathers because in their minds they know better!
Sure wouldn't have nothing to do with the love affair man has with drugs from day one would it? No that is right, you being a progressive conservative know better, it has to be Obama! Freaking stupidity on the horizon, vote Romney an drug use will vanish!
Marijuana smokers should pay much more for Obama Care health insurance due to the adverse effects on their health that we will eventualy pay for, just like tobacco smokers and alcohol drinkers.
Gee true to form are we not! Imagine that, a Progressive Conservative uses the same tactics as the Progressive Liberal, linking to a study that doesn't even support the argument! Since most Marijuana Smokers aint smoking 2-3 packs or a ounze a day. What is next with ya'll, linking the science reports about 2nd hand smoke! Or wait, linking to the studies of the beneficial oats, oh well ya'll at times are good for a chuckle.
WOW! Your user name fits the out of left field post. Where did that come from? Myself I believe we should turn closed down military bases into free drug camps. Anyone wanting to use drugs can go there and get anything they want for free as long as they stay on the grounds. If they want to leave they must be clean and sober to do it. That would solve all the social problems created by drugs like related crime and the burden on the healthcare system. Drug related criminals could be sentenced to serve their time there and unlike prison we wouldn't be responsible for their health care. That's a winner all the way around.
I think you are crazy, if you.........................................if you..........................I think if you think.......................................I forgot what I was gonna say.............
Okay so your so call solution is this? So you gonna have fat camps? Then what about the drinkers, Drinking camps? Oh yea you have to have a Tobacco Camp? Then you have a Junkfood Camp, okay Michelle can run that one? Lets not forget about the Xtreme Sports Camp? Oh yea, sports, them young kids you put on the football field every Saturday for your entertainment so we have the Sports Camp? The list is endless and about brain dead as anything I hear from your cousins the Progressive Left.
Well they are dieing and putting pressure on our Health Care as I was responding to by the OP. Yet you can't follow it? Put the Progressive Conservative away and try to follow the discussion! Yet I'm not putting down my bowl, in fact I saying to myself, this discussion calls for a nice fat F'ing Blunt of WW topped off with some BH! No Progressive Conservative or Federal Government gonna tell me I can't enjoy what God has told me to enjoy "As Meat" good for the spirit!
Yet to respond to yet another point, people are not killing each other over the drug but the Capital it represents but I guess that never occurs to you?
OK...fine with me. Just don't whine when you fail a drug test,and it costs you...or even worse, your mental capacity is decreased the longer you toke up... To pretend that THC is NOT a "toxin", just like nicotine, is silly. At least be HONEST with yourself...
I have never met the drug user that suggested otherwise? But the same goes for anything you put in your mouth. You know the best way to tell who will die? Look for who is alive! Its a no brainer and one that never fails unless you're referring to the two that never died as in the Old Testement. Yet I suppose you think Christ when he turn water to whine actually made a non-alcoholic "Healthy" beverage? You know as a Christian you should understand that in the earliest of scripture to the latest of scripture God is plainly telling you to enjoy the fruits of the earth including "ALL" Plants as meat. Do you understand the connection to plants and medicine or you just clueless on this part of the Bible? Are or you one of the many Progressive Conservative that on one hands pronounce the word of God an on the other hand feel free to imprison those that are simply following the word of God? I'm in my 50's, got my problems with obvious health problems that most males my age have in America. Its the nature of the beast, I firmly do believe that Ganja is quite a positive influence on those that use it correctly. Plus I don't take jobs requireing drug test or if I do I go take it as soon as I'm done hitting that bowl. Yet never had one come back positive? Go figure? Makes me wonder about the actuall application of the drug test by employers, most don't give a rat arse if you can provide a benefit to their business.
the majority of Americans have inhaled, ate some magic Brownies (not inhaled), I think some stupid people use weed, but I do not think weed lowers your IQ, in fact just the opposite, Eisenstein used, how do you think he came up with a idea while looking in a mirror, wondering if you would see your reflection if you were going the speed of light (does that sound like a idea conceived on pot or what?) .
you don't have to smoke it... if you smoked green tea leaves it would be bad for you, but I am not gonna push to ban green tea leaves
So as suspected you now side with the tactics of the Progressive Liberal that lives on "Scientific Reports" that seem to be all over the place? Basically the feeling I got from many so called Conservatives on this board lately. Only reason you differ with Obama is that its not your side, which is what you are saying all thru out this thread, well not specifically you but you an others to varying degrees.
Where did I say pot should be banned? All I said they should have to pay more for Obama Care if they choose to smoke anything.
Recreational use of any substances to feel good should be cause for those folks to pay more for Obama Care. Since it is government controlled health care what anyone else smokes, drinks or injests IS my business as my tax dollars go to pay for the bad health caused by their bad habits.
