Marijuana and the definition of conservative

[HappyJoy]

A conservative, at least when that word had a real definition, meant being inherently against expanding government power and authority. Conservatism embraces freedom and privacy, and only real threat to others would justify changing and supporting increasing government at the expense of freedom and privacy.

You work a full day. You come home

You have a beer

Or

You have a bong hit


Neither activity would in any way bother a conservative. But here we are with self proclaimed "conservatives" embracing increased government power and authority at the expense of freedom and privacy over ... A plant.

Nice.


The origin of marijuana prohibition is a case study of the truth of conservatism, that big government should not be trusted, and that those in government will lie and spread fear and panic to keep themselves in power. The head of prohibition knew prohibition was going to be repealed (because the church going sub human morons who pushed it had no clue what they were doing, and in the end the American people figured out that al Capone was worse than alcohol). So this guy created a new issue, a new cause, to keep his job and title and budget etc. marijuana was the target. Using American taxdollars, this uber greedy kleptocratic traitor funded the making of mass misinfo about marijuana, most famously the movie Reefer Madness, which many morons still believe. In reality, by pushing marijuana underground, we enriched and empowered criminal elements here and abroad, and packed our prisons with people who are not a threat to society.

The war on marijuana is the epitome of BIG GOVERNMENT using lies, falsehoods, propaganda, and the law to do unreal harm to America and abroad for the sole purpose of enriching and empowering liars in government.

Nobody who opposes total marijuana legalization is in any way a conservative.

The pot haters are classic morons with bird brains filled with falsehoods who want big government to rescue them from the bogeyman.....

Neat. It's funny how liberals have usually been more open to marijuana legalization.

What about the right to marry the one you love without the government telling you that it's icky? Traditionally where have conservatives stood on that?

Name the "liberals" for legalization.

Your side had a dem senate, dem house, homO, and polls showing 60% support in 2009.

What did your side do with that?

Bigot holder packed prisons with specifically white medicinal marijuana types.

Your side is always for big government. It is never for individual liberty at the expense of enriching lawyers....

Almost every progressive.

The thing is; when we decided to FORCE good productive people to pay for the poor life decisions made by lowlife degenerates circa 1935 Father Government gave me an equity share in filthy pieces of worthless shit....Now, I want Americans to meet a standard for obvious reasons...only Father Government can impose laws/legislation to FORCE people to meet a standard that doesn't cost me money and or threaten my quality of life.
Look, the undeniable truth is fact....by and large it’s the poor, the ignorant, the young and unmotivated whom are smoking weed...it’s really no secret.
Grown, productive, smart people who smoke weed don’t champion the lifestyle and can’t care less if it’s legal.

The people stoners want you to think are stoners:

The REAL stoners:

So you show a pic from a story on homeless people without any proof they are stoners except your false allegations of defamation about humans because you are a bigot.. Congratulations on picking on homeless people in West Virginia...

hahaha...you're right, the homeless never smoke weed.
Here, is this better?

Now prove he is homeless.

The people with dogs and blankets likely are homeless.
The obviously are poor, have no jewelry, etc.
But the Black guy with the joint obviously is not homeless, and appears to have expensive tattoos, jewelry, etc.

Did you get high to figure that out?

When I was younger, pot was useful to deal with anxiety.
But once I had more knowledge and experience, it was not as useful.
Pot can aid in making mental connections that one might otherwise have skipped over, but can interfere with some memory routines if over done.
But the point is government has no jurisdiction.
Government can protect one person from harm by another, but not at all from what one decides to do themselves.
That is the definition of a dictatorship, when government tells you what to do, even though it harms no one else.
And a government like that has to be utterly destroyed.
A government like that will do things like lie about WMD in Iraq, in order to steal oil and murder hundreds of thousands of innocents.

 

[BrokeLoser]

Government can protect one person from harm by another, but not at all from what one decides to do themselves.

Like seatbelt and helmet laws?

I do not agree with seatbelt or helmet laws, but their rational is that the rest of us have to pay for the high medical costs those who do not wear seatbelts and helmet's incur, since insurance is a risk pool.
They also say that driving is not a right but a privilege, so then can be subject to some arbitrary rules.

That's exactly what government is doing....Drugs are illegal to prevent users from becoming societal liabilities...a menace to society. Drug users, by and large are not productive members of society...you wanted a welfare state, a collective.....I have an equity share in you, I want you to be a positive contributor.

House votes to legalize weed

The vote was fueled by demands for criminal justice reform following high-profile police killings of Black Americans earlier this year.

www.politico.com

pssst: Harris sponsored the senate version that the GOP killed.

Democrats by and large voted for it, Republicans not so much.

Why did Trump bring aboard an AG who was absolutely against marijuana legalization?

Why when the GOP had both houses and the WH did they not legalize it? Tell me, hypocrite.

 

[EMH]

That is like Paul Ryan voting to repeal homOcare.

As soon as trump won, Ryan refused to do it again.

Fraud.

You have it by the house.

You have the senate and WH.


WHERE IS THe law??

The GOP isn't going to let anything pass in the senate.

When has the GOP ever raised a finger as a body in the house or senate to legalize marijuana?

Here is how the house voted.

Roll Call 235 Roll Call 235, Bill Number: H. R. 3884, 116th Congress, 2nd Session

VOTE QUESTION: On Passage, DESCRIPTION: MORE Act, VOTE TYPE: Yea-And-Nay, STATUS: Passed

clerk.house.gov

Yeas
222 - Democrats
5 - Republicans

Nays
6 - Democrats
158 - Republicans.

But yeah, in your wingnut echo chambered mind it's the Republicans who are for freedom.

You should be ashamed of how ill-informed you are. But you're an idiot like most of the other wingnuts here and you'll still try to pretend this is an actual debate.

 

[EMH]

The post 1998 GOP would vote that way.

There were whispers in DC in 1990 that almost all of the GOP at the time would have voted for legalizing if it was a covert vote - no public record.

William f Buckley was the leading advocate of legalizing in the 1980s. Buckley, now deceased, would not be welcome in the post 1998 GOP, especially after calling for a more robust investigation into the USS Liberty incident.... In real time.

The GOP had libertarians until 1998...

 

[Dadoalex]

Reasonable people (like conservatives) realize that cigarette smoking is unhealthy. It makes you wonder why an ignorant selfish hypocritical faction of society would want to legalize a more toxic substance.

First, not as toxic
Second, unlike tobacco, pot has medicinal qualities that help with pain, anxiety, sleep and other ailments. WITHOUT using addictive medications...

Addictive medications = Big Pharma = GOP Opposition to pot

All excuse making bullshit....Remember when ALL stoners suddenly came down with a case of glaucoma?
Now they all seem to have other "ailments"....Just fucking say it....you're a fucking stoner looking for justification.

No, I don't.
Since medical marijuana requires a doctor certification I'm thinking you don't remember either.

Now for me...
My shoulders, both of them, need to be replaced.
When doctors see my Lumbar MRI their response is
View attachment 510123

When they look at my cervical they
View attachment 510124

I had been prescribed as many as 6 percs a day but I took 2.
When MM was passed I took a 3 inch stack of reports and disks to the doctor and got certified.
It works. Not a powerful as the opioid but not addictive and, using creams, can be applied during the day without impact functionality.
Your view on pot is based purely in ignorance and the propaganda fed to you by BIG Pharma/Booze.
It works. Without it I would have been forced into retirement 3 years ago.

You should try not to comment on subjects about which you are wholly ignorant.

I don't think anybody thinks weed shouldn't be LEGITIMATELY prescribed for medical purposes.
BUT we both know that's not what's being discussed...right?
You want our courts to basically prescribe weed to our youth for recreational use all so you can feel less ashamed of your usage...right?

Geez...
Know a 10 year old?
Give the kid a 20 and tell him to go into the 7-11 and pick up a bottle of wine.
Give the kid another 20 and tell him to go down the street and get you some pot.
What does the kid have when he gets back?
I'll be generous and tell you.
He has $20 and some pot.
You can't regulate something unless it is legal.
That is the big lesson of the war on drugs since prohibition.

Let me use actual factual history to show you just how stupid your position is...
Late 60s drug "epidemic" associated with anti-war protestors.
So we declared a "War on Drugs" and passed some legislation requiring absolutely draconian punishments for relatively minor drug offenses.
But minors were excluded so the dealers began recruiting teenagers to sell their product.
Who do 15 year olds know? Other kids who became their primary customers.
Those laws, intended to save kids from drugs, drove drugs into the high schools and lower in a big fat limo.
But that's not all, they also drove guns into the schools.
Guns and violence have always been a part of the Black Markets.
When the dealers bought their drugs into the schools they bought their guns with them.
That's right. The violence and associated criminality you whine and moan about each and every day is the direct result of this "conservative" compulsion to control the private behaviors of EVERYONE.
Go whine for a moment, I'll wait.
NO, it's not the Democrats, it's not the Republicans, it is you and people like you who have this compulsion.
So you win on drugs and not only are they illegal your punishments are so draconian that the 50k people arrested nationwide every day don't even begin to swell the prison population. Graveyards, yes. Prisons, no.
Satisfied? Never.
How bout them Lady Bits? We know Lady Bits are the cause of all sex crimes. We got to save you from those evil lady bits.
Let's use technology to invent a belt of some sort that would ensure both the front and back doors are EXIT ONLY.
We'll put it on all females starting at age zero.
That'll protect the chastity of men and women. But I still can't come up with a name for it. How about Crotch Block-it Locket?
Are you getting it yet?

This isn't about drugs being bad or protecting kids.
It's about power. Control.
You and those like you want to control the private behaviors of those who are in any way not like you.
If you could only get them to
act more like you
think more like you
LOOK MORE LIKE YOU...

Then the world would not be as scary.
Now I get serious.

What I say now I say with no ill will or intent.
Were people like you not so dangerous you would be pitiable.
Not for your beliefs or ideas but for the fears behind them.
Those fears lead you to accept as true that which simple common sense will tell you cannot be.
And then you want to act on those lies and end up hurting the innocent.
You are dangerous so despite the fact that in your minds your intents are true
You must be treated as what you are.
Dangerous ideologues.

So are you beginning to understand why making these drugs illegal is a failure at every level?

Hold on...so your position is...."legalize all drugs so fewer go to jail on drug charges and fewer use and abuse drugs?"
Isn't all imposition of law a "war on _________"?
War on speeding
War on rape
War on murder...etc etc
Am I hearing your crazy bullshit right?

You LefTards are so damn weird...you act as if the greatest nation on the planet wasn't built and pillared on core American values, morals, beliefs and behaviors.
America wasn't built by faggots, wetbacks, chicks with dicks, feminazis, stoners, criminals, welfare degenerates and the like...you realize that...right?

So you're saying you're in favor of legalizing rape and muder?
Welcome to the GOP son!

American was IN FACT built by all those people. you deny reality right?

The post 1998 GOP would vote that way.

There were whispers in DC in 1990 that almost all of the GOP at the time would have voted for legalizing if it was a covert vote - no public record.

William f Buckley was the leading advocate of legalizing in the 1980s. Buckley, now deceased, would not be welcome in the post 1998 GOP, especially after calling for a more robust investigation into the USS Liberty incident.... In real time.

The GOP had libertarians until 1998...

You named one unelected conservative long since dead. Can you name 227 more to match the Democrats who actually voted in favor of legalizing?

Rand Paul is one vote in the senate.

Dems only need 49.

But the point is totally valid comparing it to Paul Ryan and repealing homOcare. When it does not matter, many Dems vote for it, because they know it is not going anywhere.

Paul Ryan knew if he repealed homOcare with trump, it would be legally repealed. Paul Ryan was much more in homO's closet than an authentic conservative. His repeals of homOcare when homO was cocksucker in chief were just as bullshit as your December vote.

When I was younger, pot was useful to deal with anxiety.
But once I had more knowledge and experience, it was not as useful.
Pot can aid in making mental connections that one might otherwise have skipped over, but can interfere with some memory routines if over done.
But the point is government has no jurisdiction.
Government can protect one person from harm by another, but not at all from what one decides to do themselves.
That is the definition of a dictatorship, when government tells you what to do, even though it harms no one else.
And a government like that has to be utterly destroyed.
A government like that will do things like lie about WMD in Iraq, in order to steal oil and murder hundreds of thousands of innocents.

"Government can protect one person from harm by another, but not at all from what one decides to do themselves."
That's exactly what government is doing....Drugs are illegal to prevent users from becoming societal liabilities...a menace to society. Drug users, by and large are not productive members of society...you wanted a welfare state, a collective.....I have an equity share in you, I want you to be a positive contributor.

First of all, there is zero proof that pot causes anyone to be a social liability.
It does not reduce scores on standardized testing for example.
Drug users tend to be useful and productive members of society.
They will be faster workers if on stimulants, and more artistic in on something like pot.
The most destructive people are the most greedy, so then they would be more useful of they were on drugs instead.

Second is that you do not get to dictate what society should be, and what makes society more positive.
Seems to be being material and the whole 9-5 rat race is the most destructive, so then it is those who do not do drugs who are the liability who do things like imprison innocent people, start illegal wars against innocent countries, etc.

Be honest, isn’t that the kind of shit that all unproductive non contributing lowlifes say to make themselves feel better?

Study: Poorer marijuana users smoking the most

A massive study published this month in the Journal of Drug Issues found that the proportion of marijuana users who smoke daily has rapidly grown, and that many of those frequent users are poor and…

... The pot haters are classic morons with bird brains filled with falsehoods who want big government to rescue them from the bogeyman.....

Cannabis is able to cause brain damages including irreversible forms of schizophrenia. And not any of the positive medical opinions about Cannabis is proven and validated in the criterions for medicaments. All this positive effects could also be only placebo effects and/or lies or self-delusions from drug addicts.
