South Dakota Police File Lawsuit to Block Measure Legalizing Marijuana Approved by Voters

Pot is still a Schedule I federally-controlled drug, along with heroin and LSD. If they they can have their pot, why can't I have a machine gun, a silencer, or a hand grenade without paying the $200 tax stamp?

Apparently there is no equality among the criminal.

Because you can't accidentally or purposely kill anyone with reefer?

What the fuck kind of question is that? lol

The accidental death stats with guns are appalling.

*thinks of little girls accidentally shooting their instructor because their retarded fathers think their 10 year old girl is ready to handle a weapon after spending their whole life indoors*

Imagine the fucked up shit you'd see with grenades. My god

What happened to the will of the people who put their idiot asses in office?

South Dakota police have filed suit to overturn a voter-approved amendment to the state constitution that legalized marijuana earlier this month.

Pennington County Sheriff Kevin Thom and Highway Patrol Superintendent Rick Miller filed a lawsuit seeking to invalidate the amendment last week despite South Dakota voters signaling their clear approval of marijuana legalization during the election.

"I've dedicated my life to defending and upholding the rule of law," Thom said in a statement. "The South Dakota Constitution is the foundation for our government and any attempt to modify it should not be taken lightly. I respect the voice of the voters in South Dakota, however in this case I believe the process was flawed and done improperly, due to no fault of the voters."

Around 70 percent voted in favor of a separate initiative allowing medical use, while the amendment permitting recreational use was approved by about 54 percent of voters. South Dakota was one of four states that voted to legalize recreational marijuana use this year, as well as the first state ever to approve both medical and recreational use at the same time.

The cops make lots of money off of drugs. They use "fighting" the drug boogie man as an excuse to continually increase their budgets.

This is so wrong...

I agree, the voters in the state of Washington voted for lower car tabs and the state circumvented it.

This seems to happen all the time and I believe destructive to our republic.
 
Hopefully the courts do not side with the police.

Weed should be legal everywhee and Trump should pardon everyone who went to prison for non violent weed offenses from Bidens racist Crime bill.


There no such thing as a nonviolent drug crime, it all fuels killing among gangs and cartels.

.
My feeling is that so eone caught with an a half ounce of weed should not go to prison for many years.

Trump should pardon them.

I understand your point. No one should work for any military contractors, they fuel War.

How about an example of someone caught with a half ounce of weed going to prison for many years.

This makes no sense.

The will of the people is the foundation of government, codified in the state constitution – to seek to ignore the will of the people as expressed in the constitution is to disrespect both.
Unless there is something in the state constitution about weed being illegal, I don’t see what relevance this cops statement has.

THC will show up in your blood for a very long time if you have some fat on you.

There is no way to dis-aggregate who is high and who is not during a traffic accident. And you can't prove it makes you a less safe driver in tests. Can be high as a kite and still drive well.

Not to mention most of the populace who wanted to smoke was doing it before it was legal.

Yea prohibition killed those people, cannabis should be worth nothing by volume. The only reason it is because of our absurd laws not the plant

More guns would lead to more gun deaths just on pure accidents alone

More pot would lead to less value for it and less violence over it.

Don't argue with me, I didn't conduct the study. But prove there haven't been 10s of thousands of deaths connected with trafficking and turf wars. And don't try to pretend black market sales and arrests will suddenly disappear with legalization, CO has proven otherwise.

We legalized it for a reason bud

Science has consensus on this issue

If it does impair driving ability, sure as shit have a hard time finding it.

It's not a study it's a comment on correlation.....This would not stand up to peer review for the reasons I laid out

I just did my own study and it says that study is shit science. See? Easy

Prohibition is the cause of those other deaths

I did address that exact point in an earlier post just you didn't read it, which is why i ignored it

It's absurd

Plant will grow in a fucking ditch it has no inherent value. Hash should be cents a gram

You would not see anyone killing eachother over it if you had to fill a semi to make a buck, just like people dont' kill each other over tobacco. Which is honestly a much pickier plant when it comes to shit you wanna smoke.

Ditch weed can be processed into something you might consider smoking pretty easily.

When the State has a financial interest in any product that is technically illegal, the black market will undercut the State. It will increase arrest for not only illegal weed, but for tax evasion as well. There will also be increased pressure to control the turf for the illegal weed. You really haven't thought this trough, have you?

As a political aside, it’s interesting to note how red states are enacting measures to legalize recreational marijuana – illustrating how out-of-touch most conservatives are.

No matter how hard the reactionary right fights against positive, beneficial change, the people will have that positive, beneficial change regardless.
Yeah, does this look like beneficial?


Yes, but that's not the point.

Way too many are way too willing to give too much power to government.

I say legalize weed...hell legalize all drugs...BUT end ALL welfare / public assistance....including healthcare....and allow concealed carry nationwide.....DEAL?

There is no conflict over weed markets dude

They do not exist

You cannot cut weed, the profits aren't high enough to justify moving like that

To traffic cocaine you can afford literal fucking submarines, and yes AK 47s to protect your profits.

Weed gets stuffed in gas tanks.

You can't cut it so it's by volume not profitable. Most organic drugs are not relative to something that can be shipped then cut. It's 2020 geographical drug markets do not exist outside specific organizations. THe reason people think it fuels any real crime is because it's not profitable enough to hide from LEO. While cocaine is. The submarine should be a fucking tell the cocaine is more profitable lol

No one ships their weed via submarine

If i was a member of a specific gang yea i can't move on their little section of the distribution network.....Those rules do not apply everyone else. There is no corner to fight over. All communications are done through cell phones. You aren't even aware of other customers/competitors without social connections.

I'm a cannabis user, i assure you i have thought this through much more than you have.

Out here talking about how weed is causing deaths and talking about how I haven't thought this through....OK boomer

Maybe time to shut the fuck up

"There is no conflict over weed markets dude."
No conflict? What do you consider a conflict?
I'm in South Mexifornia, I own a number of residential properties in the inland empire, many of which neighbor unoccupied grow houses run by Mexican cartels. The black market here has never been more robust. Legalizing marijuana in Mexifornia has fucked over good real American citizens and non users.

"I'm a cannabis user, i assure you i have thought this through much more than you have."
Herein lies the problem, not one single user will say they prefer weed to remain illegal. The reason...They're tired of feeling like losers for smoking weed, they want it glamorized to remove the stigma. I know this because I smoked weed for many years and always felt like a lowlife for doing it. I also know that illegal status never stopped me or any other stoner from smoking it so why would I care if it were illegal or not? Answer...because I would feel better about myself being a stoner if everyone accepted it and perceived users as normal and not addicts or lowlife stoners.

Yea and those cartels make the lions share of their profit from cocaine, meth, and probably al ittle heroine

Weed would be 4th on their list of drugs by profit, probably near the bottom on revenue as well, not to mention other things they do

It's just not profitable. And you don't go to mexicans for weed. White guys grow the good weed. If you were going to steal weed the place to look would not be texas.

Cannabis related violence does exist. I know guys from Chicago who go to places like Cali for the sole purpose or robbing people with outdoor grows. You can just go to google earth and find whole neighborhoods full of little medical grows.

But they are not cartels and they are not fighting over drug markets. Just literal possession of the drugs.
