http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.co...ngerous-than-alcohol/?hpt=zite_zite1_featured Possessing marijuana is a federal crime. Drinking alcohol isn't. This is how the American people wanted it. Yet King Barack HUSSEIN Obama is SPITTING IN THE FACE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE by saying marijuana is no worse than alcohol. How long before his lordship writes-up another one of his executive orders OUTLAWING alcohol consumption and repealing the federal law outlawing marijuana?
Really ? What about all the states voting for medical use and legalization ? Jesus h Christ , republicans sure like big government when it controls a behavior they don't like .
Frankly I don't care what the majority of America wants, its not their business what drugs someones does or does not use. Is it just lip service? Or does he actually feel that way? I don't know because he's lied so many times, nor do I care because he can't do anything about it because he can't make laws.
The government has very limited functions: 1.) Protect us from threats from the inside and out. 2.) Enforce contracts 3.) Make sure we have roads and basic infrastructure. 4.) Outlaw/persecute people and things we find icky or offend the morals of Christianity.
Yeah, pesky Republicans like these: http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2013/12/tom_tancredo_marijuana_amendment_64.php http://thecoloradoobserver.com/2012/11/on-marijuana-coffman-veers-from-party-line/ - - - Updated - - - That's not how the people of Colorado want it. Frankly, I think Obama is right on this one, Marijuana is no worse than alcohol.
Libs don't know their history. This isn't just party pooping conservatives who don't want libs to have any fun. Every drug that is illegal used to be unregulated. And the drug zombies proved they could not handle the freedom.
One of the many issues I have with legalized pot is the way marijuana is sold in that there doesn't seem to be any type of quality control. A bag from one pot shop could be entirely different. stronger or weaker, than one from another shop. Also how do they propose to keep pot laced candies out of the mouths of minors? In addition, what are the penalties for driving under the influence of marijuana? Are we going to now have to have a MASS, Mothers Against Stoned Slackers, organization? The Ohole was a charter member of the Choom gang in Hawaii so of course he is cool with it...
Look let's face the facts. The government wouldn't be for this if they weren't going to make money on it through taxes. It's just another form income to fuel the machine. That's it.
I really don't care. If some people (*)(*)(*)(*) themselves up well whatever, they're idiots. A lot of people take drugs because they're messed up anyway and the drugs make them feel better. And then there's people who can use drugs recreationally for fun, and don't do anything wrong. You have no right to toss someone in prison because they might make themselves "drug zombies". They haven't done anything yet, and what do you care anyway? If it doesn't hurt you, then (*)(*)(*)(*) off.
Take a pill.."King HUSSEIN Obama"??? It is extremist rhetoric like yours that keeps us form regaining our equilibrium in this country.
I don't think that the federal laws against marijuana were passed by vote or will of the people. I remember back in the 70/early 80s possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use was so trivial that it was less serious than a traffic violation for speeding. What seems to have changed was the federal war on drugs which not only made it a bigger offense but provided funds to state and local agencies to fight the war by proxy. Of course results were demanded in exchange which meant the police at all levels had to get serious about busting people with marijuana. Obama is right ( for once ) no matter how you measure it that marijuna is a harmless drug and unlike alcohol even has some amazing medical benefits. The federal war on drugs is one which we lost the day it was declared it needs to end. If Obama can end it once and for all it goes back to the states to deal with drugs as the voters see fit. Some may legalize others may not and many will probably try to meet in the middle legalizing some under controlled circumstances and continueing to fight against other drugs either way it would not be tyranny from washington which is what the war on drugs truly is. Notice that many Americans have been killed in the war on drugs some as collateral damage in raids on mistaken residences or due to other simple errors by law enforcement. The point is you cannot wage war on a plant or substance but only on people and the war on drugs is a war which the US government is waging on it's own citizens and THAT is tyranny. If Obama were to issue executive orders disbanding the DEA the office of drug enforcement policy and simply let the issue of drugs return to a state issue with no more funding for such policies it would be the first action of his which has my support.
So Obama is dealing with reality, and you aren't... "marijuana is no worse than alcohol" is reality. " executive orders OUTLAWING alcohol consumption and repealing the federal law outlawing marijuana" is not reality.
I would not care either if bleeding heart libs did not hold taxpayers responsible for taking care of the drug zombies. But you do.
Tell me, do more people die from smoking weed, or accidentally shooting themselves? Where in the Constitution is the prohibition of weed allowed?
"proved" is a point of contention. The polls are swinging in legalization's favor. Obama is just campaigning again. There should be a repeal of federal legislation prohibiting grass.
I have a novel idea; why don't we just compromise and make both marijuana and alcohol illegal? I could live with that.
Genesis 1:19. You ought to try reading the Bible some time. Now that is out of the way, how does the Constitution mirror Christianity? How does freedom of religion a Christian principle? (contradiction to Mark 3:28-30) How does the 2nd Amendment fit into Christianity? (contradiction to Romans 13:1-7) How does a fair trial fit into Christianity? How does separation of powers fit into Christianity? Why do no Biblical verses appear in the Constitution, and vice versa? Why does the Treaty of Triploie clearly state the US was not founded in the Christian religion?
