Another Trump disappointment: Sessions bringing back the War on Some Drug Users

[Ray From Cleveland]

yup you caught me...... Now, more importantly, WTF is wrong with you?!!?!?!?

I am perfect. I have no vices. I don't drink, smoke, use drugs, gamble look at porn and I don't like sex. I am an angel upon the earth.

No wonder you're so disagreeable. Are you a nun?

evil nuns exist?

Oh I know, I went to a Catholic school for 12 years. As I got older I always wondered if they wore anything under those habits. I've been a sick puppy all my life. There was this one cute nun I started to notice in high school. To this day I can't believe she chose the nunnery instead of leading a life of sin. lol

I am a catholic school product as well

Yep, me too.

 

[cnelsen]

Because let's face it, if you make all drugs legal, more people will use those drugs.

I'm not sure that's true. I believe I've read that alcohol consumption went down after Prohibition was repealed. That makes perfect sense to me. Making something illegal is often the best way to make it popular. We humans! In any case, as with alcohol, the lion's share of the negative impact on society of the prohibition of both alcohol and drugs derives from their illegality.

Marijuana use increases in Colorado, according to new federal survey – The Denver Post

I personally know two people who moved there for their pot laws. And, a count of pot users when pot is legal is bound to catch many who hid it before.

I don't believe that for a minute. When I was younger and smoked pot, I could care less who knew. That would be especially true if they were strangers only taking a survey.

According to their local CBS station, your assumptions are wrong. Here are the stats:

Here are the highlights in just three years since legalization:

• Marijuana-related traffic deaths increased 48 percent.
• Over 20 percent of all traffic deaths were marijuana related compared to only 10 percent six years ago.
• Marijuana-related emergency department visits increased 49 percent.
• Marijuana-related hospitalizations increased 32 percent.
• Marijuana-related calls to the Rocky Mountain Poison Center increased 100 percent.
• Diversion of Colorado marijuana to other states increased 37 percent by vehicle and 427 percent by parcels.
• Colorado youth now rank number one in the nation for marijuana use and 74 percent higher than the national average.
• Colorado college-age group now rank number one in the nation for marijuana use and 62 percent higher than the national average.
• Colorado adults now rank number one in the nation for marijuana use and 104 percent higher than the national average.

http://denver.cbslocal.com/2016/08/31/studies-show-results-of-legal-pot-in-colorado/

We don't have such drastic changes because some pot smokers came out of the closet. What we have is (the obvious) more people using pot. So now picture these results nationwide. Now picture the results if we legalized all drugs nationwide. What kind of country would we have?

The study you cite was put out by the Feds and looks suspicious just by virtue of the inconsistency of the years they pick to compare from stat to stat. These guys have been fighting Colorado every step of the way. Moreover, there is this:

"Colorado law enforcement and courts did not track cannabis-impaired driving prior to 2014, the year adult-use cannabis sales began, which means there is no way to compare cannabis DUI occurrence before and after cannabis became legally available to adults. In 2014 and 2015 less than 15% of all DUI citations issued by state troopers involved suspected cannabis use, whether used alone or with other substances, and under 8% involved cannabis alone. Despite legal access to cannabis for adults, the overwhelming majority of impaired driving incidents in Colorado involve alcohol and drugs other than cannabis. The total number of cannabis related DUIs decreased slightly (1.3%) from 2014 to 2015, but more data is needed to determine if the decline will become a trend."​

Dolores Hart was a beautiful actress and became a nun. There isn't anything to wonder about. Some get the call. Some don't.

3 hours lol.

You know over the years if these people would have not increased the thc tenfold or more you wouldn't get stoned out of your minds and then try and drive. When I smoked regularly at the end of about 4 hours would go to bed and have a good nights sleep. I never had the desire to drive.

Now when I drank heavy I did have the desire to drive and I drove like a bat out of hell, had several accidents and head on collision all between 18 and 25. My head on was on graduation night from high school at a party where the parents supplied the booze. No one severely injured and that was before seat belts.

I guess I just cannot understand from my experience smoking marijuana why anyone would want to drive? Well maybe to get something to eat and I did a couple time's to a taco joint about 2 blocks from my house, but normally loaded up on snacks before or would grill out after smoking. I have had some Co pot a few times in the past year from someone who drove from east coast out and brought quite a bit back and it was more like what I smoked 40 years ago. He did say that they sold all sort of different strength's out there and he had bought a little and smoked it out there and said it put him out. Now mind you he was not some kid he was 67 at the time. Well anyway I am not for the stronger stuff or anyone driving, but if was lower thc I'd smoke everyday for my severe back pain, that I actually considered asking my doc for oxycontin yesterday, but changed my mind. I had a friend that was up to 8 oxy's a day, driving and 71 years old. I don't know if he died from an overdose or age related.

I drove a couple times on pot and didn't like it one bit. Pot never effected me like it did other people. When I smoked it, all I wanted to do is sit back and listen to music whereas other people who smoked pot got more active and wanted to throw a baseball around or something. Pot made me paranoid and somewhat out of control.

Beer is different. It agrees with me much more than pot. I could probably drink an eight pack and drive like a champ. I don't of course because I have a CDL and I would lose my job if I ever got caught. When I go out now, I don't touch a drop.

Marijuana has always been my vice.

"Marijuana has always been my vice."

Serious question.
Is there even one single Liberal whom does not have a "vice"?

I don't know, ask a liberal. You really must live a sheltered life. Maybe you've been retired for years and don't really know the magnitude of people smoking, eating or vaping marijuana. You may live in a state that it's not legal in any form and the people who know you that may use know you are the kind of person that would call the police if you knew. I don't know.

NEGATIVE.
I actually live in Southern California...you know, that shithole full of stoners, drug addicts and low-life's.
Many of my friends and acquaintances are stoners and or drunks. I always find myself too busy raising my children, making money, playing golf, fishing on my boat or traveling...I have no time to be controlled by shit...It must be a shitty feeling to have a "vice".

Yea, I never because very active if at a party we all just talked and laughed, if just my wife and I we would listen to music with the tv on and the sound down, or if a good comedy was on watch it. The different strains today are different, hell I was even reading there is one you can function damn near normal and also lose weight.

Here's an idea, if someone over 65 wants to grow their own and do it in the privacy of their home, let them.

I don't care if the law leaves people alone who want to smoke pot, but where it's legal, they have pot shops, television commercials, and coupons in the newspaper and things like that I don't care for. I think pot should be isolated from children and not made so socially acceptable. If they want to smoke pot when they get older, that's their business, but it shouldn't be promoted.

Do you feel the same about alcohol, which is a much more dangerous drug?

No because alcohol is a beverage used in social settings from weddings to bars. People enjoy some of the various brands of alcohol for taste, but nobody using drugs does so for taste. They use drugs for one purpose and one purpose only.

If alcohol was commonly used to get drunk only, then yes, I would feel the same way.

On the contrary, regular smokers do enjoy various strains for taste.
Love me some tangerine dream

Taste is not why people smoke pot. You may enjoy different tastes, but you're smoking it to get high.

It's just like cigarettes. Yes, you buy the brand with the most appealing taste, but you are smoking cigarettes for the tar and nicotine, not the taste. If your brand is unavailable, any cigarette will do.

Well CBS news is my source, what's yours? Because according to CBS, they made comparisons to six years ago and found nearly a 50% increase. What your source is saying is that isn't true because they had nothing to compare it to. So I'll side with whatever is the most reputable source.

Idiotic potheads dare to talk about caring for the poor while ignoring the devastation drugs cause in the poorest neighborhoods. Self-indulgent fucking hypocrites.

Did you know that more Americans die from prescription drugs from the FDA than street drugs, especially pot?

....

Did you know I don't give a shit about your transparent attempt at diversion? People die falling in the shower too. Street drugs still destroy lives and communities, and self-indulgent potheads don't really care about anything but getting high.

Dude, I take drops of the CBC's in pot, it doesn't get you high for medical reasons........

.

And you never smoke pot. Yeah, I really, really believe you.

I don't like pot and the way it makes me feel, same with pain bills..

I have heard people say that pot doesn't make you addicted...they said the same thing with cocaine in the 1980's..All drugs are addictive..

There are worse things to be addicted to such as Trumpbot kool-aid!

Then there is the corrosive effect on our law enforcement the practice has had of asset forfeiture, which grew out of our insane war on an inanimate object. A majority of police departments in the United States now get more than 50% of their annual budgets from the proceeds from armed seizures (robbery) of the property of private citizens. How glaringly stupid can a policy be? Any reasonably bright eight-year-old should be able to see why you don't give the guys with the guns a financial incentive to discover lawbreakers.

I have heard some horror stories on asset forfeiture but that was generally from local law enforcement.

We had a neighborly friend that once upon a time owned a large trucking firm. He'd built it from the ground up. He started running drugs as the money was good. He used to tell me, 'I had a million dollars once, the government stole it and told me I had to like it'. He lost it all, the trucking firm, the money he'd saved up and his beautiful wife. The one thing that he couldn't get over was loosing his beautiful wife. He was doing the 'fly now pay later' when he ran the drugs with his firm. We met him during the time he was very humbly paying the price. He was test driving cigarette boats out of Miami Bay before there ever was a Miami Vice television show.

I think it's gotten really bad in some small towns. The narcs scoop up all the big plums and get used to that lifestyle, but as they get bigger and more decked out with all the latest technology, paid for by their victims, their prey become smaller and smaller until eventually they are seizing the family car from high school kids are caught with a dime bag of meth in it.

I think pot should be isolated from children and not made so socially acceptable. If they want to smoke pot when they get older, that's their business, but it shouldn't be promoted.

Do you feel the same about alcohol, which is a much more dangerous drug?

No because alcohol is a beverage used in social settings from weddings to bars. People enjoy some of the various brands of alcohol for taste, but nobody using drugs does so for taste. They use drugs for one purpose and one purpose only.

If alcohol was commonly used to get drunk only, then yes, I would feel the same way.

Now that just smacks of Puritanism. Why not just let people pursue happiness the best way they see fit?

I do actually, but pot is ruining our nation.

During the recession, my employer put out an ad for a new driver. He had a hell of a time finding one because he insisted they take a drug test. It's not worth training somebody and then lose them because they smoke pot. It's not that my employer wanted drug tests, but it's the federal law that we must take them.

My father is a retired bricklayer. He did very well for himself financially. Granted, very tough work, but years ago, people would kill to get that job. Today, the union can't find anybody willing to work that can pass a drug test. My father knows this because they send retirees the union news letter, and they were begging their retirees to find younger clean people willing to work.

Working in industry, this is a common story with employers. People would rather stay home and smoke pot than jump at an opportunity to make real money and start a new career. I think that's very sad.

3 hours lol.

You know over the years if these people would have not increased the thc tenfold or more you wouldn't get stoned out of your minds and then try and drive. When I smoked regularly at the end of about 4 hours would go to bed and have a good nights sleep. I never had the desire to drive.

Now when I drank heavy I did have the desire to drive and I drove like a bat out of hell, had several accidents and head on collision all between 18 and 25. My head on was on graduation night from high school at a party where the parents supplied the booze. No one severely injured and that was before seat belts.

I guess I just cannot understand from my experience smoking marijuana why anyone would want to drive? Well maybe to get something to eat and I did a couple time's to a taco joint about 2 blocks from my house, but normally loaded up on snacks before or would grill out after smoking. I have had some Co pot a few times in the past year from someone who drove from east coast out and brought quite a bit back and it was more like what I smoked 40 years ago. He did say that they sold all sort of different strength's out there and he had bought a little and smoked it out there and said it put him out. Now mind you he was not some kid he was 67 at the time. Well anyway I am not for the stronger stuff or anyone driving, but if was lower thc I'd smoke everyday for my severe back pain, that I actually considered asking my doc for oxycontin yesterday, but changed my mind. I had a friend that was up to 8 oxy's a day, driving and 71 years old. I don't know if he died from an overdose or age related.

I drove a couple times on pot and didn't like it one bit. Pot never effected me like it did other people. When I smoked it, all I wanted to do is sit back and listen to music whereas other people who smoked pot got more active and wanted to throw a baseball around or something. Pot made me paranoid and somewhat out of control.

Beer is different. It agrees with me much more than pot. I could probably drink an eight pack and drive like a champ. I don't of course because I have a CDL and I would lose my job if I ever got caught. When I go out now, I don't touch a drop.

I am not a drinker. My body doesn't take it well, I am a woman with a very small frame and it usually makes me sick. I don't like the feeling of being drunk and I feel out of control.
Marijuana has always been my vice.
It calms my anxiety, lightens my mood, lessens panic attacks, helps my appetite, and gives me some great sleep.

So that's what's wrong with you! That clears up a lot.

yup you caught me...... Now, more importantly, WTF is wrong with you?!!?!?!?

I am perfect. I have no vices. I don't drink, smoke, use drugs, gamble look at porn and I don't like sex. I am an angel upon the earth.

Psssst! You should never post when you're soused cuz you never remember what you wrote.

Just ask tinydancer She does the same thing and later says someone hacked her membership account. Creative, huh?

Not to mention that your choice of names is a pretty big clue.
