California among 8 states to vote on legal weed in November


A lot of people get horrible side effects from marinol. Sorry about your mom, lost mine a few years ago too.
 
I suspect, the main limitation to legal weed, was the capability to tax it.
Colorado seems to have worked out the bugs, and the bandwagon starts to roll.
When people say pot is a gateway drug, I think it is a bit of a misstatement,
illegal marijuana, is a gateway crime, in that it devalues peoples perception of the law.
When our laws, cause low intensity law breaking, it lowers the moral boundary
to people being willing to break other laws.
 
The states have placed the Supreme Court in a position of hypocrisy regarding the rights of people to obtain, use, and grow pot..
 

Laughable. The crime only comes from the illegal trafficking of drugs. Legalize them, and the cartels vanish overnight.
 

Derp!
 

Are you suggesting a welfare program?
 
I can't see how a Marine can be a Progressive. All my Marine friends and Navy Seals I know....are staunch Conservatives.

Both of them?

you would be 100% wrong but I expected a uninformed opinion.
it is easy to ignore facts when you want to.

Underground weed: Colorado’s black market | Marijuana Country: The Cannabis Boom

The black market is thriving and growing.

Feds worry that drug cartels are moving into Colo.

you should probably be more informed of what is actually going on.

The black market is thriving and growing.

And doesn't involve gang violence. Thanks for proving my point, as usual.

An article more than two years old and nothing has come of it.

Thanks for proving my point yet again.

You make this too easy.
 

You are showing your bias and lack of education on this subject.

way to ignore the article but that is the dishonesty that I expect.
but yes you are wrong as usual
Surging gang violence in northeast Denver neighborhood has residents on high alert – The Denver Post

An article more than two years old and nothing has come of it.
Thanks for proving my point yet again.

You make this too easy.

yes you do. ignoring facts pretty much invalidates everything you have said.
I proved myself correct you were proved wrong that is all that matters.

all you can do is do the typical liberal deny fallacy but the fact is that doesn't fly.

thanks for your concession. you should really educate yourself on the topic before going uh huh which is not an argument.
it is the exact opposite of one.
 

Are you saying this is due to pot?
 
We do exist. I've been out for 20 years now. You find more liberal vets than you do liberals in active service it seems.

True statement.

I think it gets even more diverse if you look at officer vs enlisted ranks.
 

Does the same happen for liquor stores? I see liquor stores in some nice communities. Seems like a pretty blanket statement.

Which has zero to do with marijuana. Thanks for continuing to prove my points, over and over again.
Zzzzz.... Thanks for admitting that you haven't proven anything other than your ability to post two year old articles who's topic has not come to fruition. You haven't presented any facts, sport. You should really try harder.

Sorry to have embarrassed you so profoundly.

Good luck with your magical thinking.
 
Are you saying this is due to pot?

Drugs in general. gangs are always fighting over turf wars over the stuff.
Pot is usually just the starter. easy to get easy to sell wide market.

they can under cut the other distributers as I already proved and there is big money to be had in it.

yep your posts are zzzzz denial fallacies are denial fallacies.
so far I have brought more to this than you have which is basically uh hhuh.

you haven't brought anything into this discussion at all so far I have at least 3 articles that prove my point.
yes you need to try harder your denial is making you look bad.
Sorry to have embarrassed you so profoundly.

Good luck with your magical thinking.

yep you have magical thinking alright.

here is another article you can ignore as well.

just shows you have already lost this, but keep up the denial.
 
Simply put, I believe that what you put into your body is your business. If you die putting it in...so be it. If you die in a fiery crash due to it, so be it. If you think you can fly becuase of it...and you find out the hard way that you can not...so be it.
 
nope proved you wrong yet again.

Thanks for admitting I'm right and that article wasn't about MJ.
Thanks for admitting everything you cited was irrelevant, out of date and didn't prove your points.
yep you have magical thinking alright.

LOL! 1984, eh? Wow. Just wow.

I accept your surrender. Youre quite good at that.

It's legal. No turf war needed for a legal item. You are making crap up.
 
One would think Ca woulda been one state on the cutting edge of leagel pot.
California is not as full-blown liberal as common perception would have people believe. There are still serious pockets of conservatism.
 
That cop brother-in-law of mine used to always tell me that at 1 or 2 in the morning, he'd much rather deal with someone whose stoned than have to fight a belligerent drunk when the bars closed.
I totally believe that.
 
I get angry when people tout that as the cure-all panacea.
