Republican and pro-cannabis

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

I imagine he would introduce pro welfare legislation too if he was poor all of a sudden lol

I was thinking something similar. It seems nobody wants dope until they are the ones throwing up their assholes from chemo.

Where did my other post go? Anyway, I said I didn't think a kook like Rubin was exactly going to help the cause any, especially since he wants to drag religion into it.

Amazingly enough, I was on another site riddled with right wing nazis and they were all potheads, it blew my mind, being from the hippie days of peace and love that absolutely hated Republican assholes like Richard Nixon. So I can see clearly that being a Pothead has nothing to do with intelligence but rather love of being high. I couldn't believe that a person could get high and champion killing innocent civilians in an illegal war, torturing people in the name of intelligence gathering, and outsourcing American jobs for less money to make a better bottom line, yet that is exactly what these right wing kooks advocate. These assholes in the guise of patriotism are for giving away the American dream so a few rich guys can amass even more money, War is just a means to an end, the end being more money for them. People like Bong are enticed into their beliefs through fear, the islamists are coming, the islamists are coming, Bullshit! It is The USA that has caused all the mayhem going on all over the globe through their their fucked up foriegn policies. The corporate moguls are running the US and Cheney and Bush are just puppets. When the American people finally open their eyes (If ever) maybe some semblence of intelligence can be re-injected into the America I used to love.

And those of us that lean to the right hope that America don't judge us by the left wing tokers that CLEARLY look at the world through a cloud of smoke. SOME of us can smoke a joint and still hold a grasp on reality. Don't worry, your tolorance will build up eventually.

Fellas, this is degenerating. Next thing you know, Myth1184 will come in here and put the whole thread in the crapper.

Let's get back to the issue at hand, that being convincing Mrs. G that the republicans aren't going to make it even harder for cannabis users than it already is. I want to know:

1. Is the general republican stance on cannabis the same as it is on other issues i.e. I got mine, now you get yours?
2. Are republicans willing to run in place, or even go backwards on cannabis issues as long as a candidate protects other republican issues, such as gun control. IOW, if a tradeoff has to be made, is there a sufficient commitment to cannabis related issues? Or will they get tossed by the wayside?
3. Does anyone really think Rubin is helping matters by mixing it with religion? If so, why? If not, why?
4. Do you believe being able to consume cannabis comes under the heading of "personal liberty", and thus should be decriminalized, or do you approve of medical use only, and if so, how will this affect your consumption of cannabis?
5. What do you see as a real, viable workaround to the dichotomy between "family values", and the very lucrative potential that cannabis has? How do you think it can be regulated and taxed, and yet still appease the Bible Belters that the republican party has associated itself with?

Okay, I think that's enough for now.

My tolerance is at the bursting point. I see the destruction done to my country by selfish assholes that put their own interests before the good of society. Hey, it doesnt take rocket science intelligence to be selfish, any third grade mentality will do. Me, my, mine, I, It's all about you and what you are all about, yeah lets make the world better for me, fuck everyone else. And there you have it, the Me generation, instant gratification, no matter the consequences. The football mentality, do unto others before they do unto you, Hey idiots, that was a game, this is life, have a little compassion, tolerance, and lift up your potential to be human. we don't always have to win, we can come in second and still be happy. Hey we're already a lot further down in a lot of areas where we were once first, Health care, Infant mortality, there is a long list of losing positions in the grand scheme of things. Maybe if we didn't try and Bully the world and paid attention to our own needs as a country, we could regain our place as the shining light of humanity, and lead by example, now theres a novel idea!

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Medicinal, man I respect what you're saying. But that's a generalized list of woes. I started this thread because I wanted to hear specifically about cannabis and the republican party.

So, how about you telling me your views on the Me Generation and how this is affecting cannabis related legislation?

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Oh I just thought of something else I want to know:
To those of you who deride the hippy potsmokers, do you view your cannabis use as nothing more than, say, the equivalent of having a drink or two after work, or do you participate in the cannabis culture? If the former, why consume cannabis? Why not just have that (legal) scotch on the rocks?

Only one pro cannabis republican that I know of, Ron Paul. You would think It would be a republican to decriminalize it. It does fit into there smaller government ideology, but republicans also seem to want to force morality on us too. When you bring god into the picture it makes things much more complicated then it needs to me. Most religions are against self indulgence. But no, I do believe it will be a Democrat or 3rd party to make the first steps.

But then again they got gay republicans voting against gay rights. Maybe they got potheads voting against marijuana as well.
