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.

Reassure me that there are indeed pro-cannabis Republicans on Capitol Hill. Do something to convince me that your very political ideals are not in direct contradiction to your personal practices.
