    exactly, and the same would go to prescribed drugs, if it effects ones driving negatively, one should not drive

    it's not the perscription, it the people taking them and then driving

    same with being too tired to drive... ect...

    they are all ok... unless they effect your driving negatively....

    heck you can even drink and drive as long as your not too drunk to drive... which is .08 and over....

    Yes, I did have to pass a drug test, it may surprise you to learn that pot is not addictive, and smokers can stop smoking for a month to clear their system.

    I am the VP of the organization, so I answer only to the CEO and the board, and I smoke with two of the board members, so I think I'll be just fine. It was sweet of you to voice your concern, however. I know you care so much about your nation that you would hate to see the leader of a team responsible for $1.5 billion in economic growth to be removed from their position because "WEED BAD".

    I enjoy marijuana like I enjoy a nice glass of whisky on a Friday evening while I read comments from the most ignorant sectors of American society.

    I will sip this Maker's Mark, and toke this bowl as you continue to flail about in impotent, conservative rage. :)

    Enjoy your weekend and sad, empty existence. Feel free to reply when you're old enough to engage in nuanced adult discourse, rather than relying on derp and stereotypes.

    Perpetrate sobriety? That's a funny little phrase. You act as if every pot head is always stoned.

    I'm sober all week long. I smoke on my weekends. As a professed conservative, you should support individuals practicing their freedom on the weekends.

    What's it like to live a lie? I don't know, perhaps you could tell me, since you profess to be a freedom loving conservative, but you behave like a fascist.

    What's it like to be a hypocritical fool?

    I was required to pass a drug screen, and I did so honestly, without resorting to fake pee. Not a single lie was involved.

    Why do you assume every pot smoker is the kind of monster who would give a baby pot? Because you rely on straw-men arguments and stereotypes to view the world. Simple minds like yours require simple answers and categorized enemies to hate.

    The mother in that video was arrested for child abuse. You video is not of value to this discussion. One bad parent does not an entire demographic make. Had she given him whisky, it would have been just as egregious.

    Pot is fun, though it's not the be-all-end-all of activities for me. I simply do not believe the government should be in the business of babysitting the people.

    It's a shame you neo-conservative communists don't realize you're arguing for a stronger federal government with this anti-legalization rage.

    Thats some funny crap right there....

    I really hate that video of the mother forcing her child to smoke weed.

    It's things like this that makes me wish I worked for CPS.

    If I saw that video I'd take the child away for abuse.

    After all, CPS can do anything they want and take your child away anytime they want to and there's nothing you can do about. The Constitution doesn't seem to apply to them.

    I don't know how anyone who doesn't smoke weed could support legalizing something used by such irresponsible people. It's dangerous to their health, makes them do dangerous things, and robs them of all awareness and self-control.

    Nobody could be that tolerant of pot smokers.

    and we don't mind when we do have enough money to pay taxes at a pot shop. unlike the right that likes to wage wars on a for-profit basis while lower the tax burden of the wealthiest who can afford it the most.

    You seem intellectually incapable of holding two thoughts in your mind.

    Booze is perfectly legal, yet we would still charge a mother with child abuse for giving it to her kids. Your argument lacks any semblance of critical thought. I suppose it's too much to ask for such an unrepentant bigot to actually examine a thought.

    I "perpetrate" sobriety every day, your insistence of this fact is a statement of the obvious. I wake up every morning sober.

    Judging by the incoherence of your comments, that's more often than you.

    I honestly passed the drug screen, not a single lie was told. The test was to see if I had drugs in my system. I did not.

    What an ignorant statement.

    Let us change one word in your post to see how quickly you change your tune.

    "I don't know how anyone who doesn't own guns could support legalizing something used by such irresponsible people. It's dangerous to their health, makes them do dangerous things, and robs them of all awareness and self-control.

    Nobody could be that tolerant of gun owners."

    Or,

    "I don't know how anyone who doesn't vote conservative could support something used by such irresponsible people. It's dangerous to their health, makes them do dangerous things, and robs them of all awareness and self-control.

    Nobody could be that tolerant of conservatives."

    If it's illegal to sell cigarettes to kids, why isn't it illegal for her to force her child to smoke pot?

    Edit:

    I just had a thought.

    Currently the big tobacco companies put hundreds of chemicals in their cigarettes which is what makes them so poisonous.

    So, let's say pot becomes fully legal across the board.

    What's to prevent the big tobaco companies from assuming control of marijuana and start putting the same kinds of chemicals into marijuana that they put into cigarettes?

    It is illegal for her to force her child to smoke pot. It is very illegal.

    Big Tobacco doesn't have the infrastructure to move on pot, but they will try to as it becomes legal.

    The FDA will need to regulate what the tobacco corps add to their ciggaweeds.

    Basically it will take some oversight law. But it won't be much of an issue. Pot is like wine, you might enjoy the $3 swill if all you're seeking is a buzz, but if you want quality product, you go with home grown and locally produced.

    The term rich billionaire is redundant.

    The only things I'm addicted to are those delicious popcorn chickens from Sonic. Yum yum.

    Denial, however, is how you live your life. You're on the wrong side of history, and you're in denial. All you have offered are straw man fallacies and assumptive insults based on stereotypes and conjecture. You can continue to troll around, trying to eek out what little pleasure you can from trying to harm others, but you're only damaging your own ignorant arguments and what's left of your online reputation, for what that's worth.

    Hopefully when you're an adult, a few decades from now, you will think back on this comment and realize how right I am.

    Crime has generally been dropping for decades - it is unlikely that the majority of that crime job can fairly be attributed to legalization of marijuana.

    Bwhahahahaha! Thanks for the laugh. The war on drugs works??? Were you stoned when you wrote those words? If the war on drugs worked, it wouldn't be trivially easy for anyone with the desire to obtain drugs to do so. If it worked, there would not be so many people locked up. It'll never work. It can't. It runs contrary to human nature.

    Jees, frickin Islamic States cut of drug users heads and still can't get rid of it. What you propose is ludicrous.

    The US government confiscates hundreds of thousands of pounds of cocaine every year. They do that, because a nation of coke heads, and pot heads is a freakn idiotic idea, that will cost us money in the long run.

    If you wanna impress me, get a job.

    I own my own company genius. And I smoke weed. Sorry to blow your mind. (FWIW, I know at least half a dozen people who can say the same exact thing.)

    Cartels' power comes directly from prohibition. End of story. Pot is illegal, so users are forced to go to criminals, just like they did in the 20's with alcohol, which lead to the mafia's rise in power.

    Make pot legal, and no one will buy from criminals the cartels go bankrupt.

    The cartels actually have several anti-pot PACs and other fundraising groups in the US on their payroll.
