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

This not about Big Pharmacy it is more about the police agencies protecting their own fiefdoms.From the DEA to your local police force
are trying to protect their budgets. If marijuana legal they will loose that money that went to prevent marijuana use, not to mention the fines and the profits from drug related forfeitures from cars to homes.

Or the police could just be doing their jobs .......

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.

No it's not.

As a liberal I do not support the government banning tobacco.

Partisan hackery is a mental disease.

People just need to get past the old-thinking that the act of doing drugs is a criminal act. It's not. Not anymore than drinking alcohol is. It's an individual adult decision. It's not a Government issue. Government should mind its own business.

It is a criminal act

But it shouldn't be. It's time to overturn old fart archaic drug laws. Let the People get high & drunk. They shouldn't be thrown into cages for it. It's not a Government issue.

Young Republicans don't run the party, Baby Boomers do. As I've said many times, the faster the Baby Boomers die off the better off our country will be.

But it is and that's what matters

The U.S. Government treats Drug Users the same as it treats brutal Al Qaeda Terrorists. It sees them on the same level in a criminal sense. It's a very outdated and barbaric approach. It's time for a fresh modern approach to the drug issue. No Citizens should be thrown into cages for life over it. We're not Indonesia or Saudi Arabia.

Yup, young people need to elect young politicians and then wait for the old farts to die off. Because like it or not, the old farts make and enforce the laws.

I kind of agree, but when those actions impact the rest of society------------------i.e. obamacare where the health expenses are spread over the entire population.

Everything effects health expenses. I'm sick of that old & tired argument. People like to get high & drunk. So what? As long as they're not hurting others, let em get high & drunk. The Government should just mind its own business. It has many other more important things to worry about... Or should be worried about anyway.

I agree. But there are more important things for us to worry about than if you can get a giant soft drink in New York City.

The stupidity of......... NY Mayor Bloomberg was opposed to all forms of legal cannabis.

Did I mention Bloomberg? No. I said "the left" and what I said is correct. The same leftists who cry for legal pot also demand that big soft drinks be banned. Its hypocrisy, plain and simple.

Exactly. Let the People have their drugs and big sodas. It's not a Government issue.

Yes, but also allow schools to educate kids about the risks and dangers of using drugs and overeating, then let them make their own decisions based on knowledge, not ignorance.

Yes, both Communists/Progressives and Neocon Statists are Big Government Authoritarians at the end of the day. Legalize Drugs, but ban Big Sodas? Huh? Whaaa?

Nah, that's where Government Schooling has gone wrong. Get the politics and social engineering out of the schools. Get back to education basics.

The only Mayor who tried to ban Big Cups was Bloomberg. He was not crying for Legal pot. You are once again incorrect in your haste to demonize pot smoking liberals.

Bloomberg isn't Liberal. Bloomberg's a Nanny/Police State Progressive. There are very few Classic Liberals left in this country. Most who call themselves 'Liberals', are really Communists/Progressives. There is a big difference.

Apples & Oranges. Marijuana use does not = child porn. That's just a desperate reach at best.

N0o it is not.....Both if made legal will GREATLY effect the welfare of our children.....BOTH are laws made to protect society from destructive behaviors. You see if we follow your reasoning that government shouldn't be allowed to make laws on things that people do then laws about child rape and murder should be repealed. The government in your own words do not have the responsibility to make laws to protect their communities from harmful things.
