Canada has legal marijuana, why not the United States?

It should be decriminalized nationally, and then left to the states to either legalize or outlaw. As in most issues, it’s better if the individual states deal with it as they see fit.

Giving states more authority to deal with such issues will help us see which approaches work better.

But alas, we live in a socialist culture that wants to put all their eggs in one basket regarding every issue.

Progressives killed Federalism long ago.

I live in Colorado, and the legalization has been a very interesting thing to watch, good and bad. I initially opposed it, but on balance now, I think it has been a net positive. I selfishly hope no other states go legal. It’s been a huge tourist boon. And the politicians love the millions in tax revenues. I doubt it will go away now that the politicians have tasted the money it creates.

Yep, just like Nevada enjoyed the gambling monopoly for years.

But is more government revenue what society needs as more citizens gamble their money away?

Government always spends more than double what they take in no matter the revenue they take in, so no.

As for those who lose all their money to gambling, tough luck. Go on welfare and vote "D", just like the pot heads will do.
are you yet another that thinks everyone who smokes pot is a lefty?....

No, but I know how serious pot heads can get, and yes, some are addicted.

If only the DNC supports legalizing it, they will vote accordingly.

Then they will feel forced to continue to vote "D" to keep it that way.

Of course, there may be exceptions, just like we have token negroes like Kanye.

no they wont because within the next few years it will be decriminalized at the federal and state level....and in California it has more or less been "legal" since the 90's and the righties i knew who smoked it never had anything good to say about the Democrats much less vote for them.....why would they start voting for them if it was legalized?...
 
Canada is a leftist shit hole. If you like it so much better than America than get the hell otta here, we won't miss you.
Fuck that. I'm a goddamn patriot fighting for freedom. I'm not going anywhere. Your authoritarian puritan old ways bullshit can go to Saudi Arabia where you belong.

You go ahead and buy your pot, addict.
The second your pot smoke infiltrates any other humans’s breathing air, you go to prison for many years.
Understand that your drug is not the safe, benign substance that fraudulent ‘experts’ tell you it is.
Consider those who have a THC allergy. And consider children who may be subject to your smoke.

^^^ Appeal to emotion, and, an appeal to ignorance.

a) MJ has been essentially legal for decades.

b) In 1972 CA changed the law for simple possession of MJ from a misdemeanor, and allowed someone with an ounce or less to cited, never booked (thus no criminal record); diverted under the penal code (1000 PC) for six months, required to attend a six session drug awareness course, and upon successful completion the case would be dismissed, and all records sealed.

c) The bill which established 1000 PC passed he legislature do to the outrage of the parents who children attending Colleges and Universities who were being booked and for life would have a criminal record.

d) The cost to arrest, detain and try a young adult for having one joint was prohibitive. Local government was lobbying State Government to use common sense, and pass 1000 with all alacrity.

Law section.

Common sense suggests Sessions and The Congress need to end the MJ regulation, and move MJ off of Title I. If The Congress used 1000 PC as a nation-wide model, and allowed each state to control MJ's possession, cultivation, transportation and sales we can reduce crime, increase revenue, and reduce the costs to incarcerate people for a non violent crime.

e) Ask any LE Deputy/Officer/Agent if they would prefer to have contact with a drunk or a pot head. 100% if honest will say the latter.

You're right. Drug use has really been legalized for years since there is no real war on drugs and never has been.

In the interim, Dims will continue to clamor to give them clean needles at tax payer expense and pay people $100,000 a year to scoop up their feces.

Whatever you say.

But as I'm sitting here thinking about what good it does voting "R", we still have no border wall, the spending is at an all time high, and drug use is as rampant as ever.

I'm not sure it really matters.

As I've said, there has been no real war on drugs to date and we keep spiraling downward.

Perhaps we have crossed a line in the US to where people simply are unable to think clearly enough to fix the problem.

I think that has been the goal of the Swamp all along.

Most issues are easily solved: The cost of a needle is much less costly, and more human, than finding an addict dead on the street. Shooting up galleries make sense, as do establishing public restrooms for the homeless.

Human feces can carry disease, Hazmat employees are trained and have protective clothing, also the job is much different than that of white color workers who routinely earn $100k + for moving around other peoples money. Brokers get paid if the other people's money grows or disappears. The Hazmat team maked feces disappear. Which one provides a greater benefit to the average Joe.

Biggest straw man ever. No one is advocating pot can be smoked anywhere you nit wit. Exposing children or massive pussies like yourself to pot would stay illegal. Just like laws for alcohol right now. Canada and anyone with a brain understands.

Far right authoritarian assholes like you and oo7cents want to control freedom. Go fuck yourselves in Saudi Arabia your authoritarian paradise.
You’re being naive and disingenuous. Recent decriminalization moves have resulted in relaxed enforcement and potheads have become emboldened.
I called the cops on a car whose pot smoke wafted into mine and the cops refused to pursue it. They told me it is now “inevitable”.
DUI now legal in PG Couny, MD.
Get with it before you hurt any kids. Unless you don’t care.

The "Wall" is a metaphor, it worked in China, but I doubt China believes the Great Wall will protect them in the 21st Century. Why does anyone in the US believe a wall much less defended than the Great Wall will do so?

Spending is not the issue, revenue can be increased, and priorities established to begin to reduce the annual deficit. Trillions of debt can not be reduced immediately, it will take a generation or two before it's burden can be mitigated.

Drug use is a product of a system not regulated, a black market not policed effectively, and K-12 schools not providing practical education on health and well being.

For years the war on drugs has been a failure, it seems we all agree with that. The movement to allow recreational MJ is a surrender to this failed war, and allow each state to regulate it MJ. In CA the effort to decriminalize injecting drugs is a first effort to save lives, save money and prevent the spread of disease.

Sessions and people like him need to wake up and seek practical methods to mitigate drug abuse, and that includes a Congress willing to pass laws to outlaw drug companies advertising their products as panaceas for every ailment known to mankind.

I don’t agree. At least with pot criminalization I didn’t have to endure public pot smoke the way I have had to since.
Maybe if the drug war wasn’t being fought the way Vietnam was wed make more headway.
Or maybe you just like young people dying.

No... sorry... you're no patriot by any definition. You're an angry democrat mob member that has your head buried so far up your ass your brain is starving for oxygen.

America has rejected you and your fascist, Nazi, socialist democrat garbage and you're all unhinged. We're sick of you. You are a minority and should just STFU before you start another civil war.
Sounds like you are the nazi if you are against the personal freedom I am advocating. Far right authoritarians like you would be happy to throw a citizen in jail for a joint.
How the fuck did your simple OP about weed immediately turn into this fuck ranting and trolling about every Hannity slur topic under the sun? These POTUS apologists sure have been tutored well by the Orange Anus.
Sit back and light up some of Canada best and think of kind things.
 
There has been an increase by up to 6 percent in the number of highway crashes in four of the states where the recreational use of marijuana has been legalized, according to a pair of new studies.
`
OK. But they don't link to the studies.
They don't need to study it, they just smoke it. It makes them better liberals.
