Stiff warning to Trump, Sessions, and GOP on marijuana

[Dschrute3]

Compared to drunks, potheads are completely docile and harmless. Why the hell are we still arresting them and throwing them in cages? It's so damn barbaric. It's time for change.

People are thrown in jail for smoking pot? I call bull.

Yes, they have and still are. But like i said, i'll take a pothead over a drunk every time. Drunks are often very dangerous. They're very aggressive and prone to violence. I've never seen a pothead act that way. They're usually very chill. And they don't puke everywhere either. I feel safer and more chilled hangin with potheads. Drunks are capable of doing all sorts of harm. Very unpredictable.

i agree.....i havent seen that happen since the 80's.....at least were i was.....

Different areas have different laws. It depends how much you have in your possession. Some areas of the country still have draconian laws on the books. Careful passing through the 'Bible Belt' Nuff said.

grand mal seizures do more damage to your brain than pot will ever do....

Thankfully I don't have grand mal seizures. Had one at age 4, after two petite mal seizures. Went on meds for 7 years. Got off them at age 11. Never had another seizure until 2 petite mal events three and a half years ago. I'll now have to take a minimal dosage of meds for the rest of my life.

Marijuana can cause seizures too.

You can always find something on the internet that will support whatever wild ass view you have. Interesting that your "proof" comes from a recovery site that is ALWAYS going to go against any kind of substance that can be mood altering.

Get me a legitimate medical link over a recovery site link any day, especially when you are talking about recovery and addiction, because recovery sites are skewed towards being sober.

 

[LaDexter]

NO

"Recovery sites" are 100% funded by PHARMA industry....

They want addicts to cure their "addiction" by getting addicted to their "anti-addiction" pills...

 

[ABikerSailor]

The tyranny and bullshit needs to end. The people on the side of keeping it illegal, are on the same side as Mexican drug cartels. Enough is enough.

People who want to legalize it side with the KKK and admire Hitler. See how that works?

Actually, the reason marijuana was made illegal in the first place was because of an FBI man named Anslinger who hated black and brown people, and since they were the highest consumers of cannabis, he got the plant made illegal as a way to lock up minorities.

You're only racist if you support keeping it illegal.

 

[LaDexter]

Indeed, racism and keeping your taxpayer funded job past Prohibition - there were two reasons, none of which were because of any "danger" from using...

Most old white Republican dudes suffer from 'Archie Bunker Syndrome.' They truly fear & hate 'The Pot.' It's what they were indoctrinated on. But i think times are changing in the Republican Party. Folks like Rand Paul are bringing a fresh perspective on the issue to the Party.

The Democratic Party seems to be ahead of the Republican Party on it right now though. But that's to be expected. The Republican Party is more known for the Archie Bunker Syndrome-types. But most young Republicans i run into, are open to decriminalizing Marijuana. So i think times are changing. Many States will decriminalize it. And i think the Feds will come around at some point. The will of the People will win out in the end.

That's why both parties need to be done away with and the Constitution rewritten to be based solely on Universal Morality.

 

[LaDexter]

based solely on Universal Morality.

oh wise beaked birdbrain, please enlighten us to the "Universal Morality" concept...


Does it start by parroting and becoming an "expert" solely by parroting, never actually observing?

Obviously i disagree. And our Founding Fathers would too. They created the greatest nation in history. They got it right.

 

[LaDexter]

and the Founding Fathers grew marijuana on their farms, used it, and never intended for the Constitution to be the basis for letting the attorney class use plants to prosecute people and get rich off said prosecutions.

Weed prohibition is the most socialist, fascist anti-American policy on the books today.

There is no such thing as universal morality. All religions have their own version of what is "moral" or not, and they don't always agree.

So, which religion are you going to base your "universal morality" on?

 

[LaDexter]

His religion was founded by this individual....

Obviously I don't care whether you agree or not. Right and Wrong are not debatable topics. They have been the same since the beginning of time and will be until the end of time.

The Founding Fathers created the greatest nation in the history of the world, but not a perfect one. Especially not since we've continually bastardized that notion over the past 157 years.

No offense, but i seriously doubt you could do better than our brilliant Founding Fathers. I'm gonna have to go with them.

That's why I wouldn't try to. If I had the chance to recreate this nation it wouldn't be based on my notions..... it would be based on Universal Morality.... a Divine creation to show us the proper way to live.

Again, Anathema, I ask you what is "universal morality" exactly, and what is it based on, and if it's based on a divine creation, then who's religion is the divine being based on that created it?

Not sure where you're going with that. Your 'Universal Morality' does not a nation make. You're gonna have to be much more specific.

As I've commented before, it's the most basic set of societal and social Right and Wrong as known by the first human beings to create the earliest civilizations. It is what we Should do rather than what we Can do.

Morality supercedes religion. I learned that when my father died 16 years ago. Religion is a lie. Only Morality leads to proper alignment with The Divine.

U Iverson Morality is, or should be, the basis of ALL human society. I've explained it more than enough times around here and if you don't comprehend it instinctively you probably couldn't live it anyway.
