Yes, lets Criminalize & imprison more American Citizens. Because we clearly don't have enough Americans in Prison. Man, i'll never understand Goose Steppers.

You seem to be on record that you support the initiative to criminalize non medical tobacco use. What other legal substances would you like to see criminalized? And do you think it is good that government at any level would have authority to criminalize anything that we chose to eat, drink, smoke, or otherwise use?
Do you draw the line anywhere in that concept?
Rep. Mitch Greenlick, from Portland, is sponsoring a bill that makes cigarettes a Schedule III controlled substance, meaning it would be illegal to possess or distribute cigarettes without a doctors prescription, Fox 12 Oregon reports.
Should the bill pass, and even Rep. Greenlick doesnt think it will, offenders would face fines of up to $6,250, one year in jail, or both...
Is this an indication of tolerance?

FYI: Rep. Mitch Greendick is a Democrat (shocking!).

If this retread doesn't think this will pass the political acid test, why is he wasting taxpayer time and dollars bringing it up?
And the march towards Totalitarianism goes on.
First they impose a heavy sin tax. Then they kick you outdoors. Then they ban you from certain public areas. Now this:

Other drugs and substances that are considered Schedule III controlled substances are ketamine, lysergic acid and anabolic steroids, the report adds.

Great idea. Tobacco kills and, the cost to tax payers for medical treatment/care, a direct result of smoking, is enormous. I don't support jail for the end user, possibly a drug diversion program wherein they can learn to quit and of the health consequences if they do not. Growers of tobacco are no different than producers/traffickers of narcotics and crack.
The real funny part is the morons who want to put smokers in jail probably rail against putting illegal drug users in jail.. liberals are such fucked up peoples.
Criminalizing more good & decent American Citizens. Thank you Big Brother. What would we do without you?
I think you ought to do a little research before invoking "totalitarianism" and "Big Brother" in describing our country. No only is it inappropriate hyperbole, it exposes you as an itinerant troll.
I do hope Wry, or any others who support criminlization of non prescription tobacco use, or government dictating what size soft drink you may buy, etc. or any such 'big brother-ish' kinds of laws, will answer my question:

In all due respect, friend, I don't see them as 'goose steppers'. I see them as perhaps brain washed, maybe a little delusional, most usually tunnel visioned, and most definitely programmed to see the world from a particular peculiar perspective.
To the dedicated political class/liberal/progressive/leftist, a government led by a leftist is a good government that is benevolent, caring, and doing what government is supposed to do which is to protect us from ourselves and provide for certain protected classes. Such people have no real clue about what the Constitution was intended to be all about. They could not provide an accurate definition of unalienable rights if their lives depended on it, and they base their entire philosophy on a belief that the conservative right is basically selfish, greedy, and evil and therefore must never be allowed to be in charge and whatever it does must be discredited.
In their narrow and fogged over world, a concept of people being allowed to choose to use a harmful substance like tobacco is against all their perception of justice and decency. And they can't separate the disconnect between their demands for the government to allow, even secure, what THEY want in their society whether that is abortion or promoting gay marriage in schools or whatever substances they want to smoke and a government that disallows others what THEY want in their society whether that is a limitation on abortions or promoting traditional marriage or having a cigarette on your own porch.
Dumb idea but probably inevitable.
Other addictive substances are controlled and sooner or later tobacco will be treated just like other addictive drugs. In the meantime, just keep the smokers away from those who choose not to smoke.
Doesn't see like too much to expect.
