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

[AceRothstein]

Young Republicans don't have much say in the Party. The old-guard Statist wankers still run things. To those old farts, Marijuana = ISIS. They're completely clueless.

No American Citizen should ever be imprisoned over Marijuana. The laws are archaic. Legalize it and then release Millions from our prisons. Period, end of story.

It is illegal so yes if you break the law you suffer the consequences

And the poster you are responding to is saying that marijuana being illegal and putting people in prison over it is idiotic.

Only to the stoned

Putting non-violent drug offenders in prison is a waste of money and ruins lives.

 

[AceRothstein]

Because a majority of Republicans are old as fuck.

What makes you think young people with no life experiences knows more? I say seeing the issues they chose to champion it proves they don't

Just because you're old doesn't mean you know more. Maybe they see it as an issue that should be simple to resolve.

Yeah, but it makes a lot of folks in the Prison business very happy. They're locking up more Citizens for minor offenses than ever seen before. But it is what Police States do. And we are a Police State now.

Then the folks in the prison business keep the politicians happy by giving them hefty sums of cash in the way of campaign donations. Private prisons should not be legal in America.

Yeah, there's just too many people in prison who don't belong there. People like to get high & drunk. So what? Doing drugs is not a criminal act, anymore than drinking alcohol is. We need to move on. We need to dump the archaic drug laws and release Millions from our prisons.

Not all. Some are mentally challenged drones whiling away the hours on playstation or farmville between shifts at the convenience store reading the weekly world news for enlightenment, all the while resenting their betters.

Because they are war-mongering, authoritarian Neocons, not Republicans.

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.

The INFORMED know that Hemp was never bad until it made plastic that challenged DuPont's plastic. DuPont married into a Congressman and commercials/movies were made to taint the product and they made laws against it which lasted decades (similar to a movement against specific words with the same definition of others which lasted Centuries and counting). Yet America never questions why we follow the path. We just follow.

DuPont won the plastic fight. The better plastic is still hemp;

You mean the mind set of the founders to self govern? Or do you think they ment self govern as long as it doest stop junkies from feeding Thier addiction and destroying their families on the way?

LOL most Millennials are not Republicans.

Older republicans see what young people do when they are high. Older democrats are high themselves.

And what do young people do when high?

For one

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

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.

Having cannabis in your system does not mean that it caused the crash.
In most fatal car crashes, the person did not have it in their system.

We know for sure what alcohol does to your driving skills. Cannabis stays in your system for weeks. Having it in your system does not mean that you are high. Having it in your system does not mean it caused a crash.

Since they dont actually test for pot in accidents we dont know how many deaths the potheads have caused in accidents. so get off your high horse because you seem to be only talking out of its rear end.

Only 6 in 10 young republicans in selected demographics? Not bad for republican family values. I bet 10 out of 10 young democrats favor the same thing. The thing of it is that Hollywood and the hip media has classified marijuana as "cool" and the last thing kids want to be is "un-cool". If conditions were right and the questions were slick enough kids would probably favor binge drinking, unprotected sex and legalized heroin.
