And now -- just like that -- marijuana is 100% Republican and good for business.

Trump expected to sign executive order to reclassify marijuana as soon as Monday, source tells CNBC; pot stocks surge​

So I wonder how long it will take for the local trump supporters will take to come around to the new point of view.

Whaddya say, republicans? Is pot OK with you if trump reclassifies it down to the level of say, alcohol?

Pot usage is not a 'new point of view' folks of all political points of view have been using it for eons. If Trump reclassifies it to be legal he would be more popular than ever.

I'm not worried, my head isn't pretty, and I'm not saying nonsense because THC is not harmless.

I've witnessed firsthand what THC does to people who have even the slightest inclination to become chemically dependant. Then there's the overdosing, paranoia, and sudden anaphylaxis that happens with THC. (Totally unpopular studies so zero press)

Then there's the largely unregulated aspect of Marijuana. It's not gotten any science by reputable studies because any reputable scientist knows THC studies is the kiss of death to their highly successful career built upon reputation and expensive education. They do not want to go from the top of their research career to dispensing antibiotics for sniffles as a doc in a box.

Then there is zero FDA oversight. What's an effective dose for any of it? What's the purity? What other chemicals are in it that could pose a danger? How about the deaths of epileptic patients? What safety protocols should be followed?

Literally EVERYTHING from ladders to baby aspirin has all sorts of precautions....even antihistamines. What warning labels go on THC products for pregnant women or nursing mothers?

If Marijuana is largely a "Democrat drug of choice" then what does this say about their population? That they are too inebriated to make good decisions? Too mentally unstable to have logical reasoning?
(Which would make sense considering some of their political positions)

It is regulated, strictly, and the level of THC has to be plainly evident on anything you purchase legally. It's clear you don't know much about marijuana, other than your hysteria regarding the dangers, which, like everything, can have a negative effect if abused.

It no longer makes any sense to try and explain this to people who share your opinion, you've taken a natural plant used safely by generations before this country was founded, and made this plant a political choice. There is not much one can do with that other than shake your head.

Like I told the last guy, link to you saying that at some point or your just a convert.

You moron! I, for one, don’t think dumb people should be allowed to get any dumber. Look at how much harm dumb has already done to the republic: DEI, out of control spending, defund police, etc…

I posted a thread on this same topic a day or two ago and caught negative feedback from several conservatives on this board. Pull your head out of your ass!

 

[Captain Creeper]

Further, there is a certain libertarian group in the GOP who have argued for drug legalization for years and years and years.

What ******* planet are you from, a-hole?

 

[Captain Creeper]

Pot is harmless. We have it here in Michigan you’re just saying nonsense. Utter

You are an example.

Decriminalizing it I support. I also have a right not to smell it.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

I've always thought that it should be legal. So move on along.

Republicans are infamous for their hypocrisy.

Easy, people who obeyed the law when it was illegal are now obeying the law when it is legal. If the law says its legal, so be it. Opinions change when the law changes. Nothing terrible about that.

Nope....just a LOT of people like you claiming standardization and having a ton of knowledge but the truth is vastly different.

The entire industry is de-banked. Meaning the use of commercial banks is not allowed. That means they cannot pay bills with anything but cash. So how are they going to get verified samples tested on anything?
(They aint....it's a bunch of guesswork)

Sure, you can buy stock in one of the companies growing dope....and lose your money because they all tank. The business model for all of the pieces and parts of the industry are on fumes and bankrupt dreams.

Zero FDA oversight, zero standardization, and nothing but the promises of someone else who is stoned out of their mind for the product you are purchasing that has very limited list of ailments with limited benefits of relief of some symptoms.

And its deadly to some people....but I'm somehow the simpleton who hates broken families and lives due to the proliferation of Marijuana.

Yeah....never met a pot head yet that didn't think they knew more than everyone else.

We don't have a right to not smell stuff. If that were true people would being sued for their perfumes, after shave, etc. You do have a right to remove yourself from the offending odor or complain to whomever is in charge of the area. Good luck with that.

Trump changing it to Schedule III should change that, that is the second best benefit to federal intervention, changing it from Schedule IV to III.

Even MORE important is that government research can take place on its medical benefits when it is changed from a prohibited substance (seriously? Schedule IV? Big Pharma? ) to a controlled one.

There are medical benefits to cannabis that have yet to be unlocked, and if you're wondering why, see above.

This thread already shows that Trump supporters don't agree with each other on everything proving again the OP is incapable of escaping his binary thinking.

Do you have any idea as to what the emotional effects of living a life of chemical dependency are?

What it really means for someone who is chemically dependant on chemicals that don't create physically dependency?

It's not pretty. Especially when that attitude of them thinking they know more than everyone else but somehow can't manage to actually have a life anymore.

You're comparing apples and oranges. Marijuana is not a synthetic drug, it does not share the same capacity for physical addiction as chemical dependencies, its dependency is largely pyschological. And there are no reports of overdoses of this that have resulted in the death of someone.

Chemical dependency, including alcohol, much different story.

Pot isnt a topic that, as far as im aware, has ever been discussed here, at least ive never seen it. How are you expecting to see people as "converts" when there isnt a baseline to judge them by?

It's a topic and it's been spoken about at various times.

Thoughts From an Independent

...because it's not going to.

Arrests of Democratic lawmakers, raids on small and mid-sized businesses, arrests of people with no criminal history, detaining of American citizens just because they are of Latino descent, heavy handed tactics against peaceful protestors - Trump supporters have to be loving this!
Behind all this dazzling show of force is a growing erosion of support for Trump and his followers from the same people who were instrumental in electing them to begin with: Independents just like me, who see these actions...

Biden has issued an unconditional pardon to any lawful US residents who were convicted of simple possession of marijuana, attempted simple possession of marijuana, or use of marijuana under DC's controlled substances act.

Interestingly, he did not pardon people who were illegal at the time of their conviction...

Post in thread 'Democrats Plan to Legalize Marijuana in 2021'

Feb 18, 2021

I'm sure the Bible-belching conservatives will recoil in horror, but the truth is, marijuana is a far better, and safer, alternative to alcohol.

Minorities have always been most impacted by marijuana laws, ruining far too many lives for nothing. This is the first step, the next would be expungement.

I a Christian conservative and I think Marijuana should've been legal years ago.
