6 In 10 Young Republicans Favor Legal Marijuana...So why dont Republicans?

[g5000]

Older republicans see what young people do when they are high. Older democrats are high themselves.

And what do young people do when high?

For one

Still far less than alcohol related car crashes.

The desire to control the lives of the mundanes is not restricted to party but is endemic in the political class.

The only time liberal care about state rights is to legalize Thier addiction.

And the only time conservatives care about states' rights is when you agree with their attempted action, otherwise, it's time for big central government to step in and squash it. You're hypocrites.

Oh I believe fully that my state has the right to keep it illegal

Hey OP, don't worry, the future belongs to potheads.
Each state will fall just like gay marriage. You won.

Yup...ya'll have been misinterpreting the "stone the gays" passage of the bible.

We're becoming a more Christian nation now. [emoji1]

Personally I'm not a Christian, nor am I a follower of any religion. I'm agnostic in fact.
As far as gays marrying, it's a lost cause to oppose it, although I personally define marriage as between two persons of the opposite sex.
I will never recognize two persons of the same sex as being married, but legally there's nothing I can do about it.
Chalk one up for wishing I would have been born 50 years earlier.

Hendrix smoked pot, he's been dead for 45 years.

It was the wine and sleeping pills that most likely led to his death.

Duh.

I wish you all would stop pushing your druggie lifestyle on my kids

I doubt any of these people have ever seen or know your kids, though they likely have great sympathy for them.

I feel better already ... look Mom, no more headache !

Hendrix smoked pot, he's been dead for 45 years.

Luckily he got away from the pills and the fast living before it was too late.

I am 67 years old, a Veteran, a Father, a Husband and formerly successful businessman,

I am for the legalization of marijuana.

I am all of the above except that I am a retired deputy sheriff and a few years younger. I too favor legalisation.

Nearly two-thirds of Millennials who identify as Republican support legalizing marijuana, while almost half of older GOP Gen-Xers do, according to a recently released Pew survey that could be an indicator of where the debate is heading.

While the Pew Research Center survey published on Friday shows a 14 percentage point gap between Republicans and Democrats under the age of 34, six-in-10 GOP-leaning Millennials still said they favor legalizing cannabis. Seventy-seven percent of surveyed Democrats in the same age group held that view.

For those aged 35 to 50, the same 14 percentage point gap between Republicans and Democrats was evident, but the respective percentages were somewhat lower. In that age group, 47 percent of Republicans favored legalization, as opposed to 61 percent of Democrats.

As Pew notes: "The debate over marijuana also comes ahead of the 2016 presidential election, when both political parties are fighting over the coveted Millennial vote as this group of eligible voters swells in size, even if its members do not consistently show up on Election Day."

The survey follows controversial decisions in Alaska and the District of Colombia.They join Colorado and Washington State. Medical marijuana is legal in some other states, such as California and Minnesota.

The survey on attitudes on marijuana legalization by political affiliation largely mirrors a survey Pew conducted a year ago concerning same-sex marriage. It showed that 61 percent of self-identified Republicans under 30 favored allowing gays and lesbians to marry, as opposed to 77 percent of Democrats in the same age group.

The young are stupid enough. We don't need to make them more so with drugs.

Imagine how deep the stupid will be a couple decades from now when a huge portion of the population want to sit around getting stoned while collecting government handouts.
This is just another reason I'm getting the fuck out of this country in not too distant in tge future.

doing harder drugs and what Jimi did that day is stupid.....but it seemed like you tried to say pot had something to do with it....changing your tune?.........

Oh, but haven't you heard the new chant of the young? If an alternative lifestyle repugnant to the majority is legal in one state, it has to be federally-mandated to be legal in all 50...kids getting caught up in the experiment be damned..what the hell...they can't vote anyway so who cares, right?

 

[Stephanie]

I don't have a problem with it for medical usage or even Decriminalizing it for personal use. But to let the Government be in the business of handling dope for the people.

forget it. they are all drooling for that to happen so they have a bunch of stoners they can manipulate. they have enough already in the Democrat base...lol

Yep, the young ones are too stupid and stoned to make it to the polls.
