The thought of those guys tripping balls is comical to me.

It's really too bad that the feckless leadership declined to proceed with a vote that would have, lets face it, gone down in flames in the Senate. These PoS were apparently too worried about how this would affect them in swing state elections.

Forget that it's an obvious, right thing to do given that schedule 1 drugs are to be relegated to substances that have "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential of abuse." It's effing preposterous that this charade has gone on so long.

Let's ban alcohol and cigarettes while we're at it.

Go for it.

 

[rjd970]

Go for it.

What about caffeine, pseudoephedrine....hell, even sugar and aspirin? All are more deadly than marijuana.

It’s crazy we are making illegal a naturally occurring plant that is edible and smokeable. By any religious account it is a natural creation of God, no? We don’t manufacture or process anything. It’s just a damn weed.

So is poppy.

You could really use some.

Is the Netflix show about his business worth watching?

Never watched it. He is a big time advocate for ganja though.

I don’t have a problem with it but people need to be punished severely for driving high. Intoxicated driving is a mistake I’ve made that I was luckily not punished for, but it’s something we should not allow in our society. It ruins thousands of families

I've driven with both alcohol and cannabis in my system. Alcohol made me drive really fast and cannabis made me drive really slow, which is worse?

Neither are good. I don't think anyone should drive while impaired with any substance. I'm all for decriminalization of pot though. As with anything, everything is harmful if taken to extremes, whether it be food, alcohol, or pot.

alcohol but they both slow your reaction times and can impair coordination. Neither should be allowed

Have you ever heard the stoned ape theory? Homo sapien cognitive ability evolved faster than Neanderthal, etc. and some surmise it's because they were eating psychedelic mushrooms.

So why did we stop?

 

[n_huffhines]

So why did we stop?

Good question. It's not exactly good for immediate survival to be stoned out of your mind. Maybe they just ate it for sustenance and didn't see the cognitive benefit and abandoned it when they learned to eat better over time. It's a scavenger food and we became agrarian.

I know. I’ve already decided where I’m going to plant mine and the names I’m going to call my strains

GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[hog88]

What exactly does that mean?

 

[NorthDallas40]

What exactly does that mean?

It means the majority of the Sterling prosecutorial record of our esteemed VP elect is about to get vacated. Which is actually a good thing.

 

[Velo Vol]

What exactly does that mean?

Decriminalization?

 

[BenGrimm]

Nice to see but Mitch will put it in his graveyard.

 

[USAFgolferVol]

Tax the piss out of it . Take all the proceeds of that tax and fix the V.A. period.

Fix a lot of things with the proceeds

Was I behind you at the time trying to get somewhere?

 

[hog88]

Decriminalization?

yes, what does that mean?
