Understanding winning vs losing issues 101 - marijuana legalization

[EMH]

The "Pro Israel Christian" is militantly opposed to marijuana legalization. Faux "News" is too, as is the Jew Fraud of a Christian Preacher.

What does America really think about that issue?

Most Americans Favor Legalizing Marijuana for Medical, Recreational Use

Americans largely favor legalization of the drug, including 57% who say it should be legal for both medical and recreational use.

www.pewresearch.org

"An overwhelming share of U.S. adults (88%) say marijuana should be legal for medical or recreational use."


and here we are. If the GOP is dominated by math invalid religious drones who care not about winning the election, we have "Trump supporters" hollering at Trump for supporting that which 88% of Americans support.

Why does anyone oppose legalization of marijuana?

1. more jobs in America
2. less US cash going to drug gangs abroad
3. zeroes out crime associated with marijuana being illegal

The people who do oppose aren't operating in reality, they live in a "world" where the only thing that matters is a 2000 year old dead guy floating down from the clouds, and AMERICA DOES NOT AGREE WITH THEM...


and if Trump does, he will LOSE.

When you are as good in your profession as Michael Phelps is in his, then "your opinion" of marijuana may matter....

People realize that it is a personal choice not unlike alcohol and it is less deadly. It isn't a hard drug, no one OD's from smoking this stuff.

I don't touch it, I'm even allergic to cigarettes. The government can raise money and control it to ensure it is not laced with anything. Why spend $100s of thousands in police, court and prison costs while destroying someones life?

I never understood the long term premise of this. Yes, education should be out there as it should for any vice, alcohol, gambling or otherwise. My wife wasn't stoned or drunk when she would regularly assault me, but it often occurred after she lost yet again gambling online.

The price of pot has dropped like a stone since legalization. I used to pay $80 for a 1/4 ounce of Pink Kush back in the day. These days I can buy an ounce from the local dispensary for $120. and get 10% off every Monday on Seniors Day.

During lockdown we were joking that we could now go to the dispensary and legally buy pot, but we had to meet our hairdresser down a dark alley with cash to get a haircut.

To each their own. I have never set foot in any establishment that sells it though I have been curious just to see the prices and how these stores are set up. I also notice far more older people entering these establishments than I would have ever thought when they legalized it. I suppose people have aches and pains and various other interests as why they leverage these plants.

The stuff these days is close to 3 times the potency of the 'back in the day' weed.

Which is good, meaning you smoke less.

In today's Fentanyl world, Michael Phelps has it right, use a bong. Fentanyl is water soluble. Even if your weed is laced with the stuff, the water gets rid of it, and you won't even know your source just tried to kill you...

"lately"

Remember when we were told this was a 757....





and this wasn't controlled demolition







Just how dumbed down do you have to be to believe either of those?

The entire prison industrial complex loved illegal marijuana, as did the legal profession. The leading political force in California in the 1990s was the prison guard union, and they were 100% against anything legal marijuana, since so many of their jobs depended on it...

All of which added to the price. Dealers had to assume they'd get caught somewhere along the line, and needed money for lawyers, and going to jail and making no money, so these risks were factored into the pricing.

It's just so much more civilized to go down to the dispensary, than it is to be phoning around to see who has supply, and for how much, and when can we meet and dealing with shady people. Safer too.

THC content is way higher by itself.i know what you're saying.

Dispensaries give you THC and CBD levels, so you can go with a less potent stuff, if you choose.

We can also grow up to 4 plants for our personal use, but I have nowhere secure to grow. My friend grows, but she has security cameras, etc. to keep the "usual suspects" from helping themselves.

I’m neutral toward Israel, Palestine. I am a Catholic. And I oppose marijuana legalization because it doesn’t fit in with a traditional masculine essence.

Watch any James Bond film sure he might have a cigar and a strong drink, but never marijuana.

Lots of young kids are using dab pens, which as already explained with documented evidence is very dangerous. And extremely expensive they’re spending $25-$100 on 1 g of this stuff that a lot of them blow through one day.

Side Effects of Smoking Dab Pens​

While dab pens have their benefits, they also come with their fair share of risks. Primarily, you never know exactly what you’re consuming when you smoke a dab pen. The oil in these cartridges may contain unknown additives and toxins that can lead to serious health complications.
Additionally, dab pens may cause side effects during or after use. Symptoms may include rapid heartbeat, possible blackouts, a crawling sensation in the skin, and paranoia.

A dab pen is a small pen-like piece of technology that is otherwise known as a vape or a vape pen. Read more here.

The dab pen is 5 to 10 times more powerful compared to plant marijuana. And the dab pens are just the exact type of things that can replace with fentanyl. Because it is an oily type of substance that is derived from marijuana plants. Who knows what they’re putting into that filth. Feminizing young men turning them into wimps.

I totally get that legalizing all drugs, for example would affect the drug cartels. Although they would probably still be around. Take a look at legalization of sports betting. In some states where online sports betting has been legalized on things like fanduel ….there are still bookies. And actually, some of the bookies are making more money than ever because they front the money to the customers ..a thing which the customers don’t get on FanDuel.

With drug legalization, even if the dope is legalized, the customer might find the legal distributors products to be not good enough…. so they go to the street


But my main opposition to marijuana legalization is that it is against the masculine traditional essence of America.

Nobody can argue against this point OK in the 1940s and 1950s men in this country we’re not smoking dope. I’m not trying to put down any Republican or Democrat who smokes weed and works a job 9 to 5. Every one of us can understand and agree that marijuana is not associated with traditional American culture before the 1960s hippie movement. It’s just not OK chewing on Hemp as George Washington might’ve done is not the same thing as smoking a bong and getting lit up.

In the hippie era of the 1960s that’s when it started in large part
