Obama Justice Department Set to Overrule any State that Legalizes mar1juana

I don't know who you are talking to here, but I know many liberals who are very upset about this stance by the administration. And those who aren't, probably weren't supporters of legalization anyway.

 

Thank goodness Romney will win, and he's for sure going to legalize mar1juana.

 

So your issue is what you happen to believe is the level of outrage?

 

Well, you're wrong. Even on this board, you see more criticisms of Obama by liberals than you ever saw coming from conservatives towards Bush during his years.

 

When you want to call out Obama supporters for their alleged hypocriciesa and refusals to disagree with the president, why wouldn't this be brought up to show you you're completely full of ****? Well, I can see why you wouldn't want people to show that you're full of ****, but it's hard not to tell, Hightop.

 

Look, I'd love to hear all the pros and cons of the legalization debate---we are wasting a lot of money on the "war on drugs" (the hard stuff, though, should definitely be illegal, but no one's gonna dispute that except maybe Tony Montana Jr)---but no way this issue becomes serious in an election year. No way.

And I'm not real sure if we're ready for legalization: "Yeah, I'll have a doppio espresso---make that a 'tripio'---and a chocolate chip scone, and a Pineapple Express fattie."

Besides, speaking of hypocrites, let's not be "my body, my choice" hypocrites here. Conservatives aren't generally in favor of this anyway, it's just another b.s. way for you guys to hate Obama. (I switched between 610 and 790 this morning and stopped briefly on 700 or 710, I forget; my GOD, every time Obama puts on a new suit he gets trashed by the right).

And "my body, my choice" refers more to abortion, yes?, than to yet another legal intoxicant. Smoking at home = one thing; smoking in public and maybe getting behind a wheel and possibly doing harm to others = worst case scenario but already proven by alcohol drinkers as possible/probable.

 

You guys blinded by smoke or hoping some Libertarian fantasy will become reality crack me up. There are legit reasons to come down on certain mj groups. If you really want to have mj legal, it has to be national and that's not ever going to happen with 40 or more Repub Senators and a Repub House and a bunch of Dems from places other than safe and very Liberal seats. When you have people "legally" growing in a state like Oregon, but get busted with massive amounts of guns, bricks of cash, and records of illegal grows and national distribution, you can't employ the poor, elderly cancer patient to make a political point. You can't have it both ways. You have to take away the incentive to grow and market beyond what is legal or you have to go whole hog and make it just like tobacco or any other ag crop.

I'm pro legalization but I'm anti-dirtbag. From what I know, the current Obama policy is also anti-dirtbag. Until you craft a policy that truly takes the dirtbags out of it, you are left with the Feds busting dirtbags who are pretending to be in compliance with the states. Puts everyone in a difficult position.

 

Be careful of that "true convictions" line. Your candidate for President has none. Well, he has one: make rich people richer.

 

Thanks for that post. It added a lot.

 

No, my first line of defense is to actually disagree with our president. I haven't changed a single stance of mine based on what how the president feels. And there have been numerous examples of liberals here disagreeing with Obama on issues. Long story short, you're an idiot.

 

So, do you believe Romney will champion legalization if elected?

 

You and Lou are really reaching. It's clear he's talking about legalizing mj as a means to help the economy. It might, but it would be slight and any President who made legalizing mj a priority in his economic policy would get brutalized by the opposition throughout the term and reelection.
