OT Trump administration takes aim at recreational marijuana

Another baseless assumption. You Leftists aren't very good at this, are you?

Pretty soon, I'm going to start making assumptions that you condone violent riots. Leftists have demonstrated the past few months that they're capable of that.

I'm supposed to have compassion for people who WILLINGLY break the law and get locked up?

I don't think so.

Don't break the law. It's not hard to do.

If you're willing to risk going to jail over a plant, then you're a fucking moron.



Locking up thousands of criminals for FELONY TRAFFICKING an illegal substance is very much a good use of our resources. What the hell else do we pay taxes to Law Enforcement for? Hand slapping?

Oh...you meant, hippies in basements. Yeah, that's not gonna happen. Unless you're dumb enough to get busted on a traffic stop because you're a low-life who draws attention to yourself in some way, or you have a criminal record.



Something else that's not gonna happen. What are they gonna cut? Social Security? SNAP benefits?

I don't think so.

Stop using emotion, and start using logic and reason.

Anyone with half a brain can get a Weed Card. I know, because I had a friend who's only crime was that he was guilty of being...shall we say, not so bright. Never arrested for anything, and he was an Eagle Scout, but he wasn't the brightest bulb on the tree.

But even he was smart enough to get a weed card. And he didn't even need weed. All he needed was some counseling and a hug.
not to mention most simple possession is just a fine. if you are doing serious time you either had a fuck ton of pot and were selling it or you were using harder drugs or you were near a school. you get caught with a joint you might do a night in jail and pay a $500 fine or some shit.
 
Except having a weed card could be used as proof of a preexisting condition and if that part of the ACA is removed that could cause some not to get health insurance.

I have lived with a born hearing deficit that was never covered under ACA. Which really fucking sucks because hearing aids are expensive as hell, and Audiology appointments/hearing tests even more so in the long run.

It's kind of hard for me to feel compassion for pot heads getting benefits cut when I never had them in the first place.

My mother has survived cancer 3 times. She has a weed card.

Bob the janitor has depression because he's 50 and makes minimum wage. He has a weed card.

One has a legitimate medical claim, the other just needs a hug.

Get back to me when legitimate users of medical weed get their benefits cut.
 
i think pot should be legal. but i reject the argument that a pot smoker is a victim. if you know smoking pot is illegal, and you choose to partake anyway, then you deserve to go to jail because you don't follow the law. If alcohol was banned again, i'd simply stop drinking until it was legal again. and people who made and sold liquor would be put in jail for breaking the law.

I get all the arguments for it being legal, and i agree with many of them. but it still isn't legal so why do people cry about the punishment? If you don't want to do the time, don't do the crime.

The KKK doesnt believe killing black people should be illegal, but society has told them to go fuck themselves. If they choose to kill despite it being illegal I certainly hope you'd want them tossed in prison, if not hung?

I know, I know, apples and oranges. But it is the same idea. Society has deemed certain things illegal, so dont do it and you don't go to jail? Or do it and accept the consequences when you are caught. Personal responsibility one of those liberal triggering terms.



Alcohol makes Money and Cannabis has not had it's chance (for the Feds). This country was baptized with a business finger up the British nostrils. It's not a society issue but the guts and right to do what you want believe is A personal freedom.
It becomes a social dilemma when there is an effect on those who dislike it and want to Own You. 300px-Killerdrug.jpg

There you go. People act like SWAT teams and the US Marshals are going to be raiding the basements of hippies and crushing bongs. I don't think so.
 
"arrests" does not mean prison.
Could land on your "rap sheet" which could toss you into a prison in another State, Federal jurisdiction or deny you the great job you wanted. In simple terms, you are fucked just because you did this. Of course prison occupation with rapists and assault specialists was a common problem years ago. Spicer/Trump wants Anslinger to be reborn.

That's exactly what happened in California when Reagan was governor....I saw it first hand...it's not acting to know history can repeat itself with equally bad results...Reagan used SWAT teams...dogs, helicopters and huge trucks to raid people's homes and jail them...you can ignore it if you want...you might not be old enough to put this issue in perspective...not sure but cops against hippies usually doesn't end well

So why would you risk your job, your family's welfare, and your clean record......just to smoke something that's illegal?

It makes zero sense to me. Everyone keeps telling me that weed isn't addictive, so surely a person can go through life without a need for illegally consuming weed.

Note, I said "ILLEGALLY consuming weed".

It just baffles me that people would be willing to risk everything just to smoke a bowl. I just don't understand it. If it's not addictive, then what gives?

You are correct: I was too young (born in 1983). But are you sure it was for a few hippies smoking a bowl, or was it for illegal growing operations?

There's a big difference between the two.
 
both.......

Then they weren't very smart hippies, if you ask me.

But this is besides the point. Don't break the law. It's not hard to do.

Yes, an argument can be made that lots of people do illegal things over stupid shit that shouldn't be illegal, but is. But I'm not going to feel compassion for those who choose to break the law and get busted over something so stupid.

If a serial killer can get away with his crimes for decades, then surely you're smart enough to smoke weed and not get caught.
 
What is this? And what does it have to do with the picture I posted about Gun Control?
Possibly "Just to piss you off" lol Stats for thos

I'm talking about an incident....from your past...... Used against you any time in the future by anyone who wants to own you. I am 63 and I have personally seen what cops and macho right wing jackasses do to people just because the "Look Like The Kind That Deserves" a good beating was in their Jack Daniels laced breath. I had long hair, followed The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Hendrix, Zappa, Doobie Brothers, Little Feat, Los Lobos, SRV and so forth. I played bass and guitar in many bands, picked up hitchhikers, went to two Woodstocks and over the years saw the difference in people of my generation and generation whatever it is now. I and others in here had Great Times that people born in 1983 had never experienced. My son was born in 1980. He loves me because he sees my respect for anyone who wants personal freedom, absent of any skin color and lives a good life without hanging a placard on someone else's neck. That's all and I only want to express myself on this matter. I never carry animosity or grudges. Peace to you.
 
Oral sex is illegal in many states too....doesn't stop a lot of folks...you want to jail them too?
You and Sly are true "freedom loving" humans. Bullshit phrases we had seen instituted by the right wing jackasses always piss me off because those who say it are clueless bigots....like God Bless America and In God We Trust whilst they beat up a person of a skin color other than "white" is complete hypocrisy.

Oh, clearly.....

Nope, no grudges or animosity there....

:biglaugh:
 
would be a hard decision. but if i kept them i'd do it knowing i could go to jail if caught. but most likely id move to another country before it got to that point.
I still would keep mine. I have no fully auto or +15 round weapons.

Wouldn't you know it...I lost my guns in a boating accident somewhere.

Big ol' gust of wind came by and tipped my boat over.

It's the damnest thing....

First, please stop with the personal insults.

2nd, I do love freedom. The rest of your post I'm not getting.

It's pretty simple, Sly. He basically thinks the concept of "Freedom" only applies to those on the Left.

Whereas I think a large portion of the Left has forgotten the meaning of the word.
 
It is also reasonable to guess that rich white kids will not be busted for pot smoking. I have a pretty good idea who would be.

if you pay your fine another state is not going to put a hold on you. pretty much no one gives a fuck about misdemeanors. hell you can land most jobs with a recent DUI and that shit costs double what simple possession usually does.

my buddy arrested a white kid with over a pound all measured out in mason jars ready for sale. dude was driving around town making deliveries. probably got high with every customer because he fell asleep at the wheel at a red light in a busy intersection. but ya, white people dont get arrested for doing stupid shit.

on the other hand i have some black friends that like to smoke and mind their own business. no driving, no acting like idiots. just smoke and hang out in the house. never been arrested. crazy. it's like skin color has nothing to do with how people act.

I don't for an instant thinks he believes that.

Now, I'm not so naive to think that racism doesn't exist in the US. But that picture sure makes you think, doesn't it?

I don't for an instant thinks he believes that.

Go back and read his rambling crap against the Right. It's right there in his post, Sly. Come on man, lol.
