6 In 10 Young Republicans Favor Legal Marijuana...So why dont Republicans?

[paulitician]

No Citizen should be put in a cage over Marijuana. The fact we're still doing it, is pretty sad and shocking. Legalize it, then release Thousands from our prisons. They don't belong in cages.

Why should laws be changed because you are too weak to control yourself?

None of the State's business. People wanna get high & drunk. So what? As long as they don't hurt others in the process, they're not criminals. People will always wanna get high & drunk. That's never gonna change. They don't belong in cages. The State should mind its own business.

It is states business since we are the ones voting to keep our children safe from more and more addicted potheads driving

No one is advocating driving under the influence. That would still be illegal if Marijuana was decriminalized.

funny, libs want to ban tobacco products and legalize pot. why funny? because pot is much more damaging to lungs than tobacco.

libs have to have a cause, race, gay, pot, tobacco, alcohol, muslims, its a sickness.

Communists/Progressives love Government being all up in everyone's business. They're 'Nanny Staters.' They're very disingenuous and hypocritical for the most part. When it comes to debaucherous endeavors like Porn and killing babies, they demand the Government stay out.

But on many other issues, such as banning 'Big Sodas', Nanny Staters are all-in on Government intervention. It's just a matter of convenience for them. That's why i always say, Communists/Progressives and Neocon Statists have much more in common than they like to admit.

You know........I'd rather have "potheads" on the road rather than someone who just drank around 12 beers and a couple of shots of whiskey.

Why? Those "potheads" are much more cautious. Those who drink alcohol are not.

Why? Because alcohol lowers the inhibition center of your brain, meaning you take more chances.

Cannabis does not, as a matter of fact, it makes you notice more than what you would ordinarily, meaning you make better choices.

Then you are a fucking idiot because I don't want anyone intoxicated on the road. Your addiction is endangering others

You are the only one here that is under the misbegotten line of thought that anybody approves of impaired drivers regardless of intoxicant.

Thanks for reaffirming that republicans are for big government. Why should porn be regulated and who's for killing babies by the way. And of course republicans are always interfering with voting rights.

Yes, current leadership in both Parties are Big Government Globalists. They're Nanny Staters. It's all about convenience. At the end of the day, both Communists/Progressives and Neocon Statists love Government intervening and controlling Citizens' lives.

If a state votes no to legal pot move to fucking Washington and shut the fuck up.

Actually, moving to Colorado would be a better alternative.

Colorado has a very good system in place. I personally think that if cannabis is legalized, Colorado would be a very good example to follow.

They keep it out of children's hands (the only ones who let kids get it is their parents), and they also make sure that you know what you're getting, and what the effect can be.

Liquor stores don't do that much.

 

[NoNukes]

Oh bullshit. Laws keep us from anarchy and thus a more authoritarian government like you want .

The fascist anti-American drug law are more harmful to society than the effects of the substances themselves. No only do they subject young people to a violent black market but when incarcerated they get exposed to a rather nasty strain of Islam in Prison.

Pot is not addictive. Your lack of argument is getting really stupid.

In Amsterdam you cannot smoke tobacco in coffee shops. You smoke a lot less pot than tobacco, so it is not more damaging to your lungs.

Yes, Amsterdam is a walking contradiction on smoke products. and you are totally wrong on the quantity of pot and the lung damage it causes.

Pot is worse for human lungs than tobacco. Libs want to ban tobacco while legalizing pot. another example of why liberalism is a mental disease.

 

[Dragonlady]

Pot has many medicinal properties, without many of the harmful side effects. It's very helpful in dealing with insomnia, without the chemical hangover and addictive properties of pharmaceutical sleep aids. It's good for chronic pain without the risk of addiction. It's also good for stress relief and a range of other medical problems.

I've been to parties where everyone was smoking week and there are never problems. But drinking parties - fights, people throwing up, bottles and mess everywhere.

Anyone who is impaired, be it alcohol, marijuana or prescription drugs, should not be getting behind the wheel of a car. Pot should be legalized so we can tax the hell out of it, and get the criminal element out of the production and sale of pot.

Nearly two-thirds of Millennials who identify as Republican support legalizing marijuana, while almost half of older GOP Gen-Xers do, according to a recently released Pew survey that could be an indicator of where the debate is heading.

While the Pew Research Center survey published on Friday shows a 14 percentage point gap between Republicans and Democrats under the age of 34, six-in-10 GOP-leaning Millennials still said they favor legalizing cannabis. Seventy-seven percent of surveyed Democrats in the same age group held that view.

For those aged 35 to 50, the same 14 percentage point gap between Republicans and Democrats was evident, but the respective percentages were somewhat lower. In that age group, 47 percent of Republicans favored legalization, as opposed to 61 percent of Democrats.

As Pew notes: "The debate over marijuana also comes ahead of the 2016 presidential election, when both political parties are fighting over the coveted Millennial vote as this group of eligible voters swells in size, even if its members do not consistently show up on Election Day."

The survey follows controversial decisions in Alaska and the District of Colombia.They join Colorado and Washington State. Medical marijuana is legal in some other states, such as California and Minnesota.

The survey on attitudes on marijuana legalization by political affiliation largely mirrors a survey Pew conducted a year ago concerning same-sex marriage. It showed that 61 percent of self-identified Republicans under 30 favored allowing gays and lesbians to marry, as opposed to 77 percent of Democrats in the same age group.

Legalizing pot is a colossally bad idea. As it robs the body, mind and spirit.

 

[Dragonlady]

Alcohol destroys the mind body and spirit. It's toxic, hence the term intoxication. And yet it's legal

It is possible to die of alcohol poisoning. It destroys the liver and prematurely ages those who are addicted to it.

Weed has several medicinal uses and yet it's illegal and alcohol is not.

This makes no sense.

Not from the reports that I have read.

 

[paulitician]

Unfortunately, most Americans have been conditioned to believe that the act of getting high is a criminal act. But it's not. Just as the act of getting drunk is not a criminal act. They're both risks and may turn out to be bad for you, but they're not criminal acts.

No one should be put in a cage over it. It's an individual adult decision. It's not a Government decision. The Government should mind its own business.

Yes, Big Government Nanny/Police Staters are often proven to be dishonest hypocites on issues like this. They push for legalizing Drugs, while at the same time pushing to ban 'Big Sodas.'

Both Communists/Progressives and Neocon Statists aren't the ones to turn to as far as individual freedom & liberty goes. They're both very inconsistent and hypocritical.

Pot gets you high and makes you hungry. No medical benefits. You are perpetrating a myth
