Trump administration rescinds policy of leniency towards cannabis legalization.

[Holdasown]

I know some guys from Tennessee that fit that description.

I know lots of idiots who smoke pot while hunting. I love living in Appalachia but it's Appalachia.

Sessions ending federal policy that let legal pot flourish

So much for Republicans claiming to be pro states' rights, pro business, and pro freedom (but we already knew that last one was B.S.)

He's saving it for trade off negotiations. Guns for Pot.

 

[Twilight Hue]

It's the way it's smoked that poses the greater threat. Most cigarettes are filtered, and some heavily so. Most pot is smoked unfiltered.

On the other hand, tobacco is generally smoked far more frequently than pot. So ...

People must say they never inhaled.

I've read somewhere that smoking weed is more dangerous than cigs as far as cancer is concerned. I don't know...

But since I'm not into it, I rather not take any chances.

That is an interesting thought. One the one hand, weed doesn't have a filter. On the other, I do not think you inhale nearly as much smoke. But the point stands that inhaling any smoke/toxins at all is harmful.

Yeah......gee....never mind Republicans in those states opposing Sessions idiocy.

Analysis | What Republicans are saying about Jeff Sessions’s war on marijuana

Here is of all people the Washington Post pointing out Republican opposition from those states that legalized marijuana and witnessed an incredible tax revenue.

Dear god an sensible education is a wonderful thing.

What a waste of time it is to be a politically oriented ....... well, you know.

edit: At the expense.....this was another idiotic thread.

edit again: Yeah.....worthless.

For a Canadian, watching the US these days is very much akin to sitting with a dying friend, trying not to think ahead to having to sit shiva, as well.

Tu quo qu & sharp shooting, has nothing to do with the post. I don't really care to respond...



Strawman, appeal to emotion, ad hominem, composition/division, black-or-white comparisons, genetic arguments, etc. You can't make logic out of being illogical. The Constitution directly protects anything such as art-type expression, of course, I presume you know that so you can add a "slippery slope" argument a well. Just because we keep drugs illegal doesn't lead to all of the other things you mention in that post or necessarily set a pattern for those other occurrences. The government often is called to act in situations where public safety must be assured, because no one else has the power to get that job done alone. What is "safe" is always a moving target, and we learn more every day... And yeah, certain foods certainly have barely any right to be called as such. I'm not interested in discussing more because it's off-topic, but feel free to make that another post.

P.S. - You don't believe anyone is too dumb to make their own decisions? I beg to differ... We need some baselines or those people get hurt needlessly. And there is hardly any intellectual superiority being displayed by letting them suffer for some silly argument of liberty. Cruelty is never admirable...

What a rambling bit of nonsense.

"The Constitution directly protects anything such as art-type expression....." what the hell is that? It doesn't exist.

That means absolutely nothing.

It's the most meaningless argument I've read on this forum. You could have delved into the FDA and the scheduling of various substances but no........

I've heard that a majority of Pubs favor legalization.
It would harm him politically to go against them.

The best I heard is that Sessions, a long time anti-marijuana individual, is trying to flex his power independent of the White House.

He is getting much backlash from Republicans in those States that have already legalized or moved to legalize marijuana in their States. Namely due to the large increase in tax revenue those States that have legalized marijuana are raking in.

Sessions faces powerful forces.
I hope they kick his arsch.

Kick his arsch......you've been in the bottle too? Posted twice?

Kidding.

I hope Sessions gets his *** kicked out of office. I mean Janet Reno.....****ing horrible......but Sessions is looking to overtake her.

edit: There seems to be a small glitch right now in which posts are posting twice.

The German word for "pigu" seems OK with the mods (as does the Chinese word for "arsch").

You could always hope that someone kicks his donkey, but then they might accuse you of animal cruelty.

I personally don't like it either.

But the best argument I know of is that the "war on drugs" is an abject failure outside of giving a few people criminal records. When I was using drugs in the 1960's the fact that I was breaking the law had no effect on my outside of making me paranoid. It sure did not stop my use. I stopped because drugs were taking over my life and I had the strong feeling that it was time to give up drugs and get on with my life.

I had nearly the same experience in the 70s. It was also a big bite out of my budget, when I started paying my own bills

I'm sorry that it has caused you so much emotional distress.

I don't really know much about this. But it sounds more like political grandstanding than anything else.

But I'm not distressed.

I'm pointing out facts and following the stories.

Pointing out that Republicans in those States that have legalized marijuana or at some point decriminalized it are opposed to the Attorney Generals decision.........

But that doesn't fulfill your ideological notions.

Okay. Understood.

You don't know anything.

Got it. Good to recognize another member of this forum that is solely given over to political ideology without any regards to logic or facts.
