In fact the entire left has lied for years about this issue, and they have always gotten away with it.


Clinton and Sanders are wrong when it comes to pot and prison

Marijuana had a major moment at the Democratic presidential debate on Tuesday night, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders coming close to endorsing legalization, which is something no major candidate has so far been willing to do.

But as he explained his position – which drew multiple rounds of applause – he strayed from the facts, repeating a long-debunked myth about prisons overflowing with marijuana offenders. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stayed neutral on legalization, but made the same mistake as Sanders as she tried to connect marijuana legalization to prison reform.

CNN’s Juan Carlos Lopez set up the exchange by referencing the legalization movement in Nevada, one of at least a half dozen states that could follow Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska in creating a regulated marijuana market.

“Sen. Sanders, right here in Nevada, there will be a measure to legalize recreational marijuana on the 2016 ballot,” said Cooper. “If you were a Nevada resident, how would you vote?”

“I suspect I would vote yes,” Sanders said.

i agree, a lot of the talking narratives were really cooked last night. they all seemed to be stepping over themselves trying not being controversial, or evocative or provocative..
Someone's singin', Lord, kumbaya;
Someone's singin', Lord, kumbaya;
Someone's singin', Lord, kumbaya;
Oh, Lord, kumbaya.
:cool:

look at Obama if you need any more proof. You think they would have learned with Billy Boy lying in their face how he didn't have sex with that WOMAN, what's her name...

they will LIE to sell their agenda because they know you wouldn't buy if they didn't

look at ObamascamnoCare for proof of that.

progressive/Socialist/dem MOTTO:

You buried the lead.

From your link:

...according to prison records compiled by the authors of “Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know,” published in 2012 by Oxford University Press...

<snip>

They found that about 700,000 people are arrested on possession charges every year, a large number to be sure. But virtually none of those folks end up in prison. In fact, fewer than 400 people are serving state or federal sentences for marijuana possession alone, and many of those people plead down to that charge, or have serious histories of violence, the authors concluded.
 
Lol they want to legalize weed but don't want us to eat junk food or fast food.

Get high as shit but eat healthy. Lol

lol kale is so gross. I might smoke that though.
 
From the OP: he strayed from the facts, repeating a long-debunked myth about prisons overflowing with marijuana offenders.

Well yeah, thats been debunked because no one on that stage or anywhere ever claimed prison was OVER FLOWING with weed offenders.

Thats how you take a fact and turn it into a lie. Just put words in that arent there
 
For example: The sky is blue

Republican spin would say: Thats been debunked already because the sky isnt ALWAYS blue
 
In fact the entire left has lied for years about this issue, and they have always gotten away with it.

Smoking pot is no big deal. Ask any cop if s/he would rather deal with a drunk or a stoner and 99.9% of them will pick the stoner.

Pot remains a schedule I drug, one more example of the foolishness and failure of the War on Drugs. A billion dollar + black market exists in our country; the cost to enforce prohibition and allow a tax free black market to flourish is insane.
