White house to crack down on Rec. Marijuana

As indicated by the OP, I would expect Trump to leave such legislation to the states. Crossing state lines is federal, but if a state has decriminalized rec use... the fed has no vested interest. This isnt why we elected him, it is the opposite.

 

We did that, if the feds or other states don't like they can go duck themselves

 

personally, when I pull tubes, I'm trying to relieve the severe pain I have, due to multiple traumatic injuries.

Oddly enough, the constant pain of 2 broken vertebra, & a cracked pelvis over 20 years ago, is the direct result of an alcohol related incident.

In my 37 years of toking, again oddly enough, I've never injured myself or others.

Go figure.

 

nah i am saying 2 bad habits are enough

 

Just that simple.

Don't like the law? CHANGE IT!

 

Just understand the DEA has legal grounds to confiscate and shutdown this industry as the current laws are written.

 

I don't think there's a PoThead alive that doesn't.

As a matter of fact, I'd reminded my PoThead friends of this very same thing, while bringing it up in a topic RE: Sanctuary Cities/States for illegals.

 

Yeah, I had zero problem getting pot as a kid. As an adult in a state where it is not legal, its been a lot harder. It's actually easier to get anything on the black market since they don't follow rules. It's harder to get alcohol than it is pot for kids. That argument is just the standard stupid responses when people don't have any facts, logic or reasoning to back it up. "But what about the kids". How about you be a parent and raise your kids and let other adults enjoy adult things

 

I personally don't think this is an item high on his list. Having said that, states picking and choosing what federal laws they wish to enforce is not how we are structured to govern. I'd like to see this issue resolved once and for all.

 

Legal grounds based upon ignorance. Laws based upon ignorance need to be overturned as opposed to enforced. Arguing that the DEA has the right does not mean enforcing ignorance based laws is the right thing to do. I want what is best for society, and what is not best for society is the continuation of a failed policy that continues to cost us billions of dollars a year with no net gain.

 

So your position is becoming impaired is what should be illegal?

 

Apples and oranges.

A joint by oneself of hydro is closer to a pitcher. Could you slam a pitcher yourself in under an hour and not be impaired?

Apples to apples
A beer and pipe bowl.


The point being that maybe you're not comparing things evenly.

 

So maybe we can have reasonable medical research, bring an inkling of rationalism into the law, reduce needless prison overpopulation, act a little more fiscally conservative, etc.

 

Bingo!

Honestly, unless it's a party situation, I rarely hit my dugout or one hit bowl on my bong more than like 4 times a night. 4 hits versus hitting a joint Solo like 10/20 times.... A few drinks, versus polishing offa 12 pack, or a Fifth.

 

Having a scotch vs having the whole 5th

 

Yep....

 

Way for Republicans to make America less free.

That's what this move would be doing in translation.

 

But obviously it is keeping you anchored here on PF daily, crowing about the president of a nation you don't reside in.

 

You're joking right? Each of those substances are psychoactive. Each alters perception and gives some form of "buzz". Each is addictive in some fashion, though of the 3 alcohol is the only physically addictive substance.
There is no difference except that you likely have used tobacco and alcohol and want to distinguish yourself because you prefer to inflict your private preferences on the populace at the point of a gun.

 

We already have the most people per capita in the world by far locked in prisons. A great many of them are there for possessing and selling illegal drugs and nothing else. You and Trump think that longer sentences and more abridgment of personal freedom are the solution. And you call yourselves conservatives. What a joke. These idiotic drug laws have created more waste and corruption that all of the welfare programs combined. When the cost of $100 K a year narcs, $200k a year judges and prosecutors and prison guards along with loss of tax revenue from the millions locked up for petty bull (*)(*)(*)(*), this whole anti-freedom big government drug war is a colossal wast of resources. Those who support it are like the old Communists in Russia.

 

I know a LOT of never smoked before. Many have one [sic] thing in common...they are paranoid, angry and forgetful (and some cannot even count )

 

Bingo. We have a winner!

 

Your whole post is ignorant. The sole purpose for all is not to get high. For some it is pain management. For others it minimizes nausea or seizures. And then for others, it can even be culinary, just like booze or tobacco. And just like booze or tobacco, there is a moderation level where one does not alter their reality.

This is the kind of falsehoods this country's stupid relationship with cannabis has been based on. If we keep on this road, Israel will score all the patents on the cure for cancer and other maladies, and we in this country will all be drunk over our tax dollars going to incarceration of non-violent crimes.

Reschedule, Decriminalize, and stomp out ignorance.

 

In other words, it's status as illegal has previously had no effect on the availability to children. Therefore, availability to children is not a valid argument for decriminalization opponents.

 

You mean you don't REMEMBER feeling paranoid. angry or forgetful.
