Hey OP, don't worry, the future belongs to potheads.
Each state will fall just like gay marriage. You won.

Yup...ya'll have been misinterpreting the "stone the gays" passage of the bible.

We're becoming a more Christian nation now. [emoji1]

Hendrix smoked pot, he's been dead for 45 years.

It was the wine and sleeping pills that most likely led to his death.

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.

i can understand not wanting it legal,but to not want it at least decriminalized is because many of those anti-pot people are hypocrites....

If you want to inhale smoke into your lungs, be stupid, I don't care. If you want to shoot up heroin, snort coke, take meth, it's all good with me. Should all those that drink, smoke and abuse drugs pay higher medical? That's a different issue but with all the concern about obesity and vaccines, I would assume liberals would like to control it all but they are only concerned about certain high risk behaviors and not others.

Fatal Car Crashes Involving Pot Use Have Tripled in U.S. Study Finds

In an end note to the study, the researchers pointed to several limitations with the research. One is that marijuana can be detected in the blood up to one week after use. And, therefore, the researchers said, "the prevalence of non alcohol drugs reported in this study should be interpreted as an indicator of drug use, not necessarily a measurement of drug impairment."

so if the guy smoked a joint 3 days ago but the day of his accident he was drinking....its still the pots fault right?......oh wait you were the one who said if they can detect pot in your blood 3 weeks later....you are still high.....talk about something you know about Katz....not what you read or are told....

The young are stupid enough. We don't need to make them more so with drugs.

Epidemiological studies have been inconclusive regarding whether cannabis use causes an increased risk of accidents; in contrast, unanimity exists that alcohol use increases crash risk.

Propaganda. Marijuana should be decriminalized immediately. No one should be imprisoned over Marijuana. It's so absurd we keep millions of Citizens in cages on Marijuana prosecutions. Time to decriminalize it and release millions from our prisons.

Katz has no idea.....she claimed once she had to be rushed to a hospital because a party she was at they were smoking pot....and she of course inhaled second hand smoke....

yep....Hendrix had taken nine of his prescribed Vesparax sleeping tablets, 18 times the recommended dosage....but of course he smoked a joint within the week...so it must have been the pot...
