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

Link to you saying it should be legal at some point.

Otherwise you're just the first convert.

Yeah, I want you door heads so doped up you are unable to vote.

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)

death of epileptics?...my wife is an epileptic and pot is the only thing that stops a tremer she has in her right arm...every "legal" drug was useless against this....her neurologist was intrigued by this and said there is a study about pot and its calming effect on stuff like the tremor at UC Irvine med center....many epileptics say they get less epileptic "episodes" smoking pot....and i dont mean just the seizures....

Like any drug there are side effects. Psychosis, paranoia,, a drop in IQ, anxiety. It must be used under a DRs supervision

Charlotte's Web is the specific brand name of the cannabis used by epileptics and those with seizures, I've heard stories like yours before where it is the only thing that worked with children and their seizures.

Oh my word. A drop in IQ? What are you taking?

^tries to call me a dope head but so doped up he called me a door head instead.

Irony is fun!!!

It has no benefit beyond intoxication and impairment, it causes mental and physical illnesses and you aren’t aware of this because creepy, greedy and political people are controlling the messaging.

There are also health benefits, it’s used as a prescription to treat some ailments

 

[sparky]

Whaddya say, republicans?

smoke 'em if ya got 'em.......~S~

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

Post in thread 'Trump Folks: Enjoy this while it lasts...'

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...

"No felonies. No drugs. If you get convicted of a drug offense...other than Marijuana, no deal. If you are convicted of a felony...no deal."

You again, talking about pot.

Post in thread 'Biden Pardons Thousands of Recreational Marijuana Users For Christmas'

Dec 22, 2023

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...

A Proclamation on Granting Pardon for the Offense of Simple Possession of Marijuana, Attempted Simple Possession of Marijuana, or Use of Marijuana | The White House

In Proclamation 10467 of October 6, 2022 (Granting Pardon for the Offense of Simple Possession of Marijuana), I exercised my authority

Rationale is that the convictions hold people...

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.

Here's jknowgood saying "I a Christian conservative and I think Marijuana should've been legal years ago." in 2021.

First post wasn’t about pot, second post I don’t was a joke about chilling some people out, third post wasn’t a quote of mine, I’m not sure I was aware of that thread.

Still, that’s fine, so it has been discussed, but I do thank you for posting those as it does show that my position has been consistent.

Cotton balls might help.

Marijuana is a can of worms as we may see people fighting eventually. Perhaps there will be assigned places to smoke/toke it.

No. That’s a ruse. More pot industry misinformation.
In fact, McHenry County, IL reached a legal settlement in their jurisdiction whereby all pot peddlers/dispensaries, etc., must list harmful side effects of THC on their products and must refrain from any medicinal or wellness advertising or risk being shut down. Violation of consumer fraud and deceptive practices act. Any real medicine requires FDA approval and warnings of risks.

Been a long time, LIBS DID SUPPORT, Then a large cross section of the population.
Then THE CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY came into the picture.
Even in small conservative towns there are mutable pot stores.

The plus... Peoples life's not ruined by going to jail for pot smoking.
The negative ... Smoking pot wont increase your intellect or your energy to to get up & go out & work hard.
And it costs more money now that its legal.

Pot causes mental and physical illness. Far worse than tobacco. Like tobacco spiked with a dangerous psychoactive drug.
Who is promoting tobacco anymore?

[Mac-7]

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?

This is a bad idea and an example that MAGAs like myself are not cultists

That's the problem, Most things have some plus or negative.
Thats why some balance is required.
ONLY MY way or the highway is not a healthy balance.
