Guess we know where KF stands on the debate. Fire it up Cheech!

Remember, Marijuana laws have always been racist. Originally intended to target Hispanics and African-Americans. Every argument regarding the negative health effects of cannabis can also be applied to alcohol. And cannabis will literally grow like a weed.

faster!

I’m curious to see what ends up on the ballot. With Espy running there is theoretically enough swing Republicans on this issue for passage.

656 - curious. How does 'Espy on the ballot' cause an increase in 'swing Republicans' voting; and how does more Republicans help the pot bill pass?

Seems to me that your logic is backwards in the first instance and also backwards in the second as well.

Im old. If it were legal I would smoke it. I haven't seen any or smelled any since the 1980s when I was young and stupid. I've heard the good stuff is really good these days.

Release every prisoner that are in on marijuana charges and expunge their records.
The percentage of young people’s lives altered by ridiculous pot busts far exceeds the amount ruined by
Pot itself. Alcohol has destroyed far far more lives directly and indirectly than pot. The richest soil in the world could be producing billions in hemp and cannabis each year. The majority of cops are good and honorable people, but, the truly bad ones have used “ the hint of marijuana” as an inroad to destroying lives particularly young black men’s lives. Legalize it and use the money saved from enforcement, prosecution and incarceration to treat chemical addiction.

The present day debate about marijuana should always be preceded by a viewing of "Reefer Madness". There is nothing like a review of actual historic documents like newspaper, magazines, and movies to put issues in their proper perspective. It's like debate about the civil war monuments. A review of the actual historic documents, facts not opinion, put the matter in perspective. Then we can have an intelligent discussion. After viewing "Reefer Madness" a person gains perspective about how we got to this point. Then we can decide intelligently how to go forward. Maybe.

It's also a damn funny movie.

The Naysayers are going to have a hard time killing this one 77% already support it.

I have a friend in Brandon who had a no knock raid on his house for possession of weed and a pipe. Both could have been handled with a written court summons, but Brandon police are dicks. As his first ever arrest, he still ended up in jail for a few hours, spending a couple thousand on a lawyer, another thousand for his court required probation drug tests, and lost his drivers license for a while. It’s just stupidity.

Im investing in Oreos and sweet milk if the wildwood flower is legalized. I will be rich.......

During college and grad school in the late '60's to mid 70's, it was impossible to go to a social event without booze and pot being part of the scene.
There were always a few drunks and potheads and all but a few of those ended up with substance abuse problems. Very early these folks had very different personalities when they were high than when sober.
But, the potheads were never destructive or violent or mean to others or depressed at the parties. They zoned out or ate all the snacks.

Rama of the jungle was everyone's Bawana,
But, only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana,
Yeah
