Doing The Right Thing: Trump Signals Medical Marijuana Fight

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Unconstitutional...

Legalize it and get government out of our lives.

Only Losertarians want government of their lives.

Legalize and tax it.

It's legal here in Colorado, and it has had its issues, but the toothpaste is out of the tube. The money being made, the taxes being collected, the tourist it attracts, well it will be nearly impossible to take that all away. I heard a statistic that 10% of all warehouse space in the Denver metro is used by the marijuana industry.

I was reading an article the other night that it's very hard to find commercial property out there and the economy is booming. Didn't they build some schools and homeless shelter's with some of the taxes from it?

Oh and wasn't it Trinity, Co that was practically a ghost town until the legalization?

I think you referring to Sedgwick.

Yep, economy is doing well, but it's not all rosy. If you are a fresh college grad you can't afford to buy a house and will spend probably 50% of your income on rent.

Well no I didn't get it from the article, I remember it was a 60 minutes segment a few months back. Hasn't housing always been expensive in Co, as well as the rest of west coast?

Colorado isn't exactly the west coast. We consider it the Rocky Mountain region. I assume you live in the east. The housing got hammered during the recession, but has rebounded. It's a great place to live, great climate, lots of things to do. People move here, they rarely move away.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see through the phony alleged medical benefits of inhaling the smoke from a freaking weed. It's like saying cigarette smoke eases the effects of bronchitis. Pharmaceutical companies isolated and simulated the active ingredient in marijuana long ago. The "medical marijuana" movement is nothing but a smoke screen. Pun intended.

 

[danielpalos]

Marijuana helps a lot of people but the ones the pussy grabber (and the OP) really want to harm are the vets.

The only reason it hasn't been legal is that its easily grown.

Like wind/solar power. If the 1% can't force us to pay taxes on it, its a bad thing.

Why does Mr. Trump care, one way or the other.

If you mean caring about marajuana, he doesn't.

Enforcement means more government and more cost.

I thought the right would be the first on-board, with laissez-fair domestic policies instead of socialism on a national basis.

Why do you think Session's expanded private prison's?

Right wing forms of, "wealth creation" that impact the poor, the most.

Legalizing marijuana would be the worst thing to happen to our race at this point and time... The MSM is promoting marijuana legalization exactly for that reason: Lots of ambivalent, tuned-out, zoned-out Whites, and another vice industry the jews would surely eventually control and reap huge profits from to fund their anti-White agenda.


Trump Spurns Congress as He Signals Medical Marijuana Fight

It would be foolish to take on that battle. He doesn't have the political capital to Waste. Let's see,him do something with the BOcare, taxes, jobs and border control, you know, the issues he ran on.

Why are Republicans opposed to marijuana? Legalized, it makes lots of money, brings in tax revenue, creates jobs. The People are already smoking it, so what will change except that it's legal and contributing to the legal economy instead of the Mexican cartels?

Being in the middle of it here in Colorado, here are a few things that have changed- more people will use it, much higher potency will be available, more will overdose especially with edibles. It's not all rosy, and many things need to be refined in dealing with it as a legal drug.

You know though there are different potency and strains. People need to learn how long it takes to work with smoking vs edible's. Edible's take much longer and people just don't understand and keep eating until they can't see straight. In the illegal markets I have seen someone buy an ounce, well the dealer may have cut it with spice or something else to make more bucks from it. When i smoke it I make sure I am getting from someone reputable and not a high thc content. I guess over the past 50 years some have found the need to up the thc so they could get stoned out of their minds. I like to know what I'm doing. Not saying I never got stoned out of my mind when in the service back in the late 60's, but all that really happened fell asleep after about 30 minutes and got a good nights sleep.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Heroin is from a simple plant too.

We will not survive as a nation of stoners. Rather than fight a losing battle over drug addiction, the president should exercise leadership and prepare the nation for a worthless future.

Heroin is processed from a simple plant. The plant is the opium poppy.
Cannabis is not processed --- it IS the plant. And it has no "addiction".

Now shoot yourself in the face for being a wackball.

Everyone truly believes they can stop using pot any time they want. They just don't. They are addicts. They really cannot function. Pot addicts like all addicts surely believe they can function normally.

You need to just stop talking.
It's obvious that you have no experience with and no knowledge of pot.

Matt the Libertarian

He is one confused individual. At times he sounds far right,far left and now libertarian.

I believe he is a little bit like me, I vote for who I think can do the best job and ideas, not for party. I lean libertarian, I firmly believe govt has no right to tell me what I can do or not do if I am not hurting anyone. States rights. You see the left or right wing neither one really believes in those two, they just do lip service.

The right wing prefers to "hate on the poor" at every opportunity, than to advance any "second wave" to abolish the drug war.

 

[danielpalos]

It's a fight he cannot possibly win. The momentum is on the side of the voices to legalize even more. What he should do is start preparing the nation and the people for a county failing under the weight of addictions.

--- and then shoot 'em all in the face, right?

Member that shit?

As long as they are shot, whether it's in the face doesn't mean much. A head shot is the cleanest and least painful.

So you would murder your fellow senior's who use it for pain? But turn around and tell them to take opiates? Correct?

People use pot to get high there is no other purpose. If a person cannot get through the day without being high put them out of their misery.

Dear, kool-aid is "refreshing"; you don't need alcohol to be, "refreshed".

But alcohol is legal, and it also turns people into zombies.

Yep, Americans can legally enjoy a few glasses of wine with their Vicodin without repercussions but pot is the problem.

Our state just made recreational use legal, but it was a very close vote and the powers that be have managed to delay the implementation of its sale for a year. I worry most about the edibles because of little ones getting into them. Can't potency be regulated same as 100 proof alcohol?

Yes it can be regulated. It's just like today a child can and will get into parent's liquor cabinets. It's called responsible parenting. You can hide marijuana much easier that a big bottle of Jack.

And the vital difference is, if the kid gets into the latter it can cause big physical trouble. All the former would do is zonk the kid out for a couple of hours.

Ahh...I have gone from National Socialists to Libertarian of different strands like AnarchoCapitalism to Libertarian Socialist all the way back to Racial Socialist. I believe in a VERY strong government that takes care of its people but is a benevolent dictatorship.

Legalize it. But you have to grow your own. Shut down border with Mexico and get drug lords out of business. Make sure every state has roadside test for driving under influence. Allow employers to test during workday.

Agree, but that's actually called Liberalism.

That's the problem the rw on this board thinks everyone who uses marijuana or addicted to hard drugs are poor. Think they better do their research. Soccer moms, either addicted to xanax or drink all day. I live in a very upscale community and the moms and dads will drop their kids off at soccer, baseball practice and expect the coaches to babysit after practice waiting for them to come pick them up from the bars, half crocked or high on coke. How many of these communities are there in the U.S.? I suspect many. Last year the post office called the local police on 40lbs of marijuana being delivered to someone, whoops nothing happened after that, many important people and very wealthy here. Not another word on it. Pretty damn stupid to send a parcel post package through the mail of weed to begin with, but to have the whole incident disappear had my mind wondering.

Ok then I'm a fence sitter, is that better? lol

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Pot permanently damages developing brains and can result in psychosis in adult life. This is the greatest danger of pot use. It impairs judgment so that the user thinks that giving pot to young children is harmless.

Pot might to to this country what khat has done to Yemen.

I am called right wing and I AM poor. I think medical marijuana should be left the hell alone and even ADVANCED for more uses. It can be used to crush Big Pharma which is why they hate it being legalized. I guess I am considered right wing because I have very traditional values and beliefs but I am more of a populist and nationalist mixed with socialist economics.

Addiction is not a political issue. It can afflict anyone.

Again for the chronic moronic --- there is no such thing as a 'person who cannot get through the day without being high'. That's entirely your self-imposed fantasy that you snorted off the gutter of some reefer madness back alley. Has nothing to do with the actual real world. Which puts it in line with the rest of the insipid crap you post.

A two or three year old would have a hard time with the bottle cap on the Jack, and one whiff would probably convince them NOT to drink it, or at least spit it out. Whereas an 18 month old would have no trouble grabbing a cookie or a gummy bear and eating it without a clue. Your other point, about responsible parenting? Get real.
