Republican and pro-cannabis

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Medicinal I hav e seen you and other "liberals" refer to this war as illegal but have not yet heard the backing to this believe I would just like to hear this explained. Thank you and anyone else who has this view can respond.

I already asked Medicinal to stick to the subject at hand on this thread. I ask you to do the same.

Babysitter? Link?

If anybody's trying to legislate morality, it's the Reps.

Both parties do. The difference is democrats tend to legislate items that stem private enterprise and statutes that protect us from ourselves. An example of this is the smoking ban. Rather than keeping this decision in the hands of each private establishment, they enforce it upon everyone. This is going in the direction of prohibition, not legalization. One can argue the health issues it resolves, but it displays the mentality of the democrat platform. Easing laws on medical marijuana might happen under democrats, but never full legalization. It's not within the ideology of the party base.

The republican party is messed up, but at the ideological core, conservative line of thinking hold a more sensible view when it comes to legalization.

.... conservative line of thinking hold a more sensible view when it comes to legalization.

the flaw there is that conservatives resist change. this prohibition has been around long enough to be considered an integral part of the political landscape and conservatives are notorious for their love of the status quo.

I am a super POT head...some people call me right leaning......LOL


Last election.....went with (R)s the whole way and voted YES on marijuana.

it was easy......

Libs think that once you vote Republican.... the voting machine locks the NO vote for Marijuana.....(part of the disorder...LOL) ie voter fraud

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Delusions, once again your posts stand out as being the most realistic and balanced I've seen, while remaining refreshingly free of hyperbole.

And unlike some who seem to be afflicted with adult ADD, you stick to the subject.

[Mrs. Greenjeans]

Hey Bong, you're a good one to ask about this, primarily because you're on right now

Do you view your cannabis consumption as part of a bigger picture i.e. a lifestyle or ideology, or is it no more than the equivalent of having a couple of drinks?

Mrs.G,


It has changed for me over the years.....I used to do it when I would skate or snowboard....hanging with my friends......

Then I realized i was self medicating my self......to deal with my child hood.

Now...Marijuana is My anti drug.....

I had a super bad coke problem, like doing it every day for 3 years....

Now I smoke to keep chill and to keep the cravings for the other down.

I have never Liked alcohol....I used to drink all the time.....But i havnt even had a beer in 6 months.....now

Thanks Bong. One more question: Does cannabis consumption represent anything to you politically? I haven't had nearly enough coffee this morning, so bear with me. Um, when you think of the struggle for decriminalization/legalization, do you think of it in terms of being a small part of a bigger overall push for personal autonomy?

well, i wouldn't go that far. it's hard to stick with one subject when it's all so interrelated and i do tend to wander toward my pet peeves.

NO.... I do believe that once My generation (X) (im 36) is in Office. Weed will be legal.

It wont matter (D)s and (R)s people will just realize it does more good than bed and it will be legal.......

i hope and prey that it doesnt become a major political view like Global warming has tunred into....

If we want weed legal we cant make it political........



Im off to work...Bye
