Johnston is so stoned that he doesn’t understand Federal Law supersedes state laws. Further, the lack of enforcement of Federal Laws by the PRIOR White House regimes DOES NOT nullify those laws. Watch what Jeff Sessions does very soon.
One court case is worthy of comment now. The person whose ‘medical marijuana’ plants were stolen was not likely a LICENSED GROWER in that state. Hence, those plants were ILLEGAL. But don’t expect stoners to understand the legal logic of that statement.

Polar, the Recreational guys are the ones to watch out for. They think they can handle it and they can’t. They are probably the same ones who think they can text and drive at the same time.
I’d like to better understand your thought process, PBR.
I have seen you post in other places here that you are an advocate for letting states regulate themselves and getting the federal government out of the state’s way (specifically with health insurance but, I presume, for other matters as well.)
Putting aside that I don’t think anyone in their right mind would sincerely try to argue marijuana is a Class 1 substance (please note I am NOT implying this is your stance, it’s just a general comment), why are you against individual states regulating themselves in this instance?
Drugs can cross state lines, as can other dangerous substances. Hence, Fed laws trump state laws. Nothing in my posts contradicts common sense application of laws by state or nationally for specific objectives.
OTOH, states can regulate how their schools are run, police do their work, roads are built – to the extent interstate roads conform to federal standards or do not vary greatly enough to create hazards to interstate drivers.
Schools and roads cannot move from state to state, whereas drugs can. Federal taxes and state taxes are both valid laws, existing simultaneously.

Pollution can move across the globe. Did you send an email to China to tell them to stop polluting? Obama did, but gave them 30 years to ‘cut it out’, and not ‘cross his new red line’, or he’ll really get mad.
What are you doing to prevent OTHER nations from polluting?

They should put some scientists on a project to detect THC levels in blood, figure out a safe limit for driving, legalize marijuana, and tax it for revenue.
Hear hear! There’s so much legal money to be made off of taxing this, it baffles the mind why the federal government is so against it. They should rename ATF the ATMF (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana & firearms), lighten sentences for non-violent first time offenders, strengthen the DUI penalties and tax the bejesus out of the plant!
There is much more cost to society in the damage caused by Recreational use than taxes can accommodate. Many of the so called Recreational users graduate to more serious drugs when they can’t get a high from the weed. Crime always goes up. Job production goes down. Weed should not be used as a crutch to solve life issues.
There is no evidence on any of your statements. especially as far as job production is concerned. As Colorado and the other states that are making an example of their new freedoms. There has been an increase in job production, a completely new market has been created.
The is one simple answer to explain all of your posts. You are a fool. You know nothing. Never will. You believe you are a contributing member of society when in reality you are the parasite that continues voting to restrict personal liberties. I absolutely hope the worst for you.
So UW is back under yet another moniker change to rant about the weed. You must be high as you type your rage. Suck on a Marijuana laced lozenge and calm down. Has your employer tested you?
Speaking of Colorado, just last year, a business owner moved out when he couldn’t find employees who weren’t stoned, didn’t show up for work, were unproductive when they did so he moved to the great state of South Carolina. You aren’t fooling anyone but yourself.
There is one explanation to readily explain your posts; 306-228. Other reasons exist, but that one is especially troubling to you, so You, Yes, You, lash out at any Conservative who posts facts or logical constructions.

Agent, Are your facts about weed from the classic movie “Reefer Madness”? They are a bit outdated. I know people from my late ’70’s college days that still smoke pot but nothing more. They are productive people of society, never been arrested, don’t commit crimes… Many use pot the same way others use alcohol.
Mickey, my facts are from a lifetime of observation of people ruining their lives from this mind altering drug. It does tend to make brains dysfunctional and erratic. For every case you want to cite of your college buddies who functioned well, there are 10,000 people that had lives that went south.

@CTT: the NUMBER of deaths for each drug is related to the legality and availability of the drug.
Alcohol is legal, and consumed by MANY MORE people than weed. Thus, more DUI and similar deaths for alcohol than weed.
The number of deaths each year is FAR from the total COSTS to society. There are MANY other costs from abuse of each drug. Deaths is an EASY argument to make, based on the fallacy I demonstrated above. A coherent, logical argument against each drug is more difficult to make because of the complexities involved in drug abuse as the effects ripple though society, affecting people other than the abusers.
Your logic is that of a liberal.

Why not both? The government can get rid of wasteful spending, crack down on fraud, etc, AND increase revenue with new taxes on marijuana. These actions can be done simultaneously – it’s not a “one or the other” type deal.
How does supporting state schools thru lottery or increasing state taxation of marijuana ever limit the size government?
Increased control of funds thru many state governments are efficient by design.

Libitterals need to LOOK IN THE MIRROR after the last ten years of loss after loss of Democrat seats in the US Congress, and in State Legislatures, and loss of Governor seats in states not on an ocean coast.
Libitterals do not understand that liberals and independents turn into Conservatives and Libertarians as they age and gain insightful life experiences; i.e. wisdom. And reading the taxes paid on their first few paychecks converts some recent college grads into Conservative much quicker. Apparently, UW, CTT, Celtica, and Captain Planetoid have a lot of ‘aging’ to do before they can contribute to informative discussions about politics.

If this is you “smarter” after aging I am truly horrified at young Polron.
What you are claiming is a myth, of course. Older people now were largely brought up during the conservative revolution, they didn’t become conservative. People tend to be liberal when young and then against further change when they are old, making them by definition conservative. Look at the older people like you and Agent. You are clearly racist, but wouldn’t support going back to segregation. This position would be viewed as liberal when you were younger or just before, depending on your ages, but it’s “common sense” now. You don’t however support equal rights for homosexuals, because it’s further than during your time, and you don’t support modern policies based on modern economics or science, you want the science and societal norms from your bygone time enforced so you are viewed as conservative.
It has little to do with actual ideology, but a shift in the Overton Window, which over the long-term is always shifting left, despite the best efforts of people like you. That pretty much sums up all of human history; a long struggle slowly moving towards more and more liberalism against anti-intellctual conservatives. Hate to break it to you-back to your cartoons.
Most studies on this have just looked at self-identification, not actual ideology. When ideology is analyzed it doesn’t hold up. If you turned 18 under presidents Ford-Bush I you were more likely to vote Republican than the national average. These people are now “old.” They have always been conservative, they didn’t become “smarter.”

It is safe, there are safe ways to use it. Allow people to grow their own plants, and allow commercialization to offer their products and services. I’m sure “weed” is being “fought” for some reason, but the problem isn’t its use. The worst thing about it is… getting caught with it. Write your representatives, network with other like minded people around the state, make it a wedge issue for your support if you feel so inclined.
LOL @ how wrong you are on all of your claims and your sad plea to enlist help to make weed legal. It’s Darwin’s Law of Survival of the Fittest that tells us brain-damaging weed users will fail to persuade anyone who can think straight to help legalize pot.
Polar, the young man who killed 13 in the accident in Texas had both prescription medicine, marijuana cigarettes, both smoked and unsmoked in his vehicle and on top of that was texting while driving. That turned him into a killing machine.
Hear hear! There’s so much legal money to be made off of taxing this, it baffles the mind why the federal government is so against it. They should rename ATF the ATMF (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana & firearms), lighten sentences for non-violent first time offenders, strengthen the DUI penalties and tax the bejesus out of the plant!

If you turned 18 under presidents Ford-Bush I you were more likely to vote Republican than the national average. These people are now “old.” They have always been conservative, they didn’t become “smarter.”
It is safe, there are safe ways to use it. Allow people to grow their own plants, and allow commercialization to offer their products and services. I’m sure “weed” is being “fought” for some reason, but the problem isn’t its use. The worst thing about it is… getting caught with it. Write your representatives, network with other like minded people around the state, make it a wedge issue for your support if you feel so inclined.
LOL @ how wrong you are on all of your claims and your sad plea to enlist help to make weed legal. It’s Darwin’s Law of Survival of the Fittest that tells us brain-damaging weed users will fail to persuade anyone who can think straight to help legalize pot.
Polar, the young man who killed 13 in the accident in Texas had both prescription medicine, marijuana cigarettes, both smoked and unsmoked in his vehicle and on top of that was texting while driving. That turned him into a killing machine.
Sad. Hopefully, more people learn the lesson about weed, scrip med abuse, and distracted driving.
Hear hear! There’s so much legal money to be made off of taxing this, it baffles the mind why the federal government is so against it. They should rename ATF the ATMF (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana & firearms), lighten sentences for non-violent first time offenders, strengthen the DUI penalties and tax the bejesus out of the plant!
Yeah; money is the driving force behind many evils…

Nobody is arguing it should be legal for children.
