Taft, I see a trend here. What is your problem with pot? And why do you feel the need to bring it up in every conversation when you could very well go back to the thread where you basically lost due to ignorance?

Fact's that I don't think you seem to understand.

Pot compared to beer;
1. does not make you go as crazy as beer.
2. acts immediately and dissipates just as quickly, unlike alcohol.
3. Doesn't leave a hangover.
4. Not bad for your liver
5. Non-addictive.

Medically;
1. Relaxes stress.
2. Helps get someone hungry when it's necessary they eat after an operation.
3. calming for freaking out patients.

Compared to cigarettes.
1. NON-ADDICTIVE
2. Doesn't cause cancers.
3. Doesn't cut life span.
4. doesn't have poison in it.

Compared to dangerous drugs such as meth/coke/what-have-you.
1. No life threatening effects.
2. It's not a gateway drug.
3. cheap.
4. easy to make.
5. "Dangerous people" don't sell it.
6. Again, NON-ADDICTIVE.



People are already doing it, even if it's illegal. Why not just make their lives easier and make it legal? Not only economically does this make a whole lot of sense, it also gets rid of countless pointless crimes.

When america was founded, it was founded on the premises of laissez faire. People have a right to live their own lives. Laws were made biased on your life ruining others. Murder doesn't affect just you, it affects others, thus it's illegal. Stealing harms others, so that's illegal. Harming yourself is in no way shape or form dangerous to others. There's no point in making a law to protect citizens from themselves. If you're dumb enough to do something to yourself, it's your own damn fault. 'MERICA
(^^^^Important paragraph, if you skim at least read this)

Besides, how old are you? Are you just pissy cause you didn't get an invite to Woodstock? Everyone else should suffer?
Personally, I would compare marijuana today to moonshine back in prohibition. And it's not as bad for you!
Live a little and smoke one.

And before you start calling me a pothead, I've never tried it. For one, that'd be impossible with my drug tests. And two, I follow laws. I'm waiting for it to be legalized before I do that. Which I can see happening within the next few years, if not this one.

Officer Won't Testify, Ending Defense Side in Cannibal Case (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/06/nyregion/officer-accused-in-cannibal-plot-wont-testify-lawyer-says.html)

Lawyers for Gilberto Valle, the New York police officer accused of plotting to kidnap, kill and cannibalize women, rested their case on Tuesday, shortly after the officer said he would not take the witness stand in his own defense.

And we let these people become police officers...
Hasn't it been proven that police officers have the same mentality as a criminal? Attention seekers and wanting to be the big hero of the day.
If you ask me, police should have to be reminded that they are here to PROTECT. Not serve justice to every regular joe.

Let's see, do I want guns only available to police officers like Obama wants? Nope. Cause there will always be that guy. And the police are 15 minutes away from my house, if they speed. Kinda useless at that point.
And if they're all gun-ho crazy lunatics that don't think before they act, I'm just as likely to be shot as the guy I'm calling the police for.

Did you miss the part where it's no where near as awful as most other things? Or the part where it's easily comparable to moonshine?

And that folks is what human freedom is all about.

Thank you very much for a very fine explanation.

BTW, no point in trying it. I am not clear to this day why anybody smokes it.

In my particular case so many long years ago, I was on the way to being depressed. I saw a doctor and he prescribed pills for depression but all that did is make me sleep for two straight days. I decided then and there that I got into it mentally and would follow the same path back out. It worked. I got rid of the depression.

Back then, nobody that i am aware of had the idea of making it legal who had any power at the state level. And the pot at the time was super expensive.

Quitting it is easy. No lingering after-effects.

Why won't I recommend it?

I am part way persuaded by what Michael Savage teaches on the radio shows. That your brain is being damaged.
Waste of money is next.
Finally, does not seem to me that it helps ones lungs.

Pot does not have a good flavor.

Matter of fact, I very seldom drink any alcohol product. Don't need the stuff.

Maybe for some. I earned the pothead label, I suppose. But with that logic, anyone who drinks socially would be the alcohol equivalent of a "pothead". Anyone who smokes cigarettes. Anyone who takes anything that alters the mind or body. I don't think a pot smoker is much different than anyone else who partakes in something for the feeling or altering effects. Hell, certain foods have euphoric effects on some people.

Even here, you can see Abouttime making it personal by pissing in Cadet's oats.

AT declares as a navy guy sworn to uphold his oath, was a drunk. I was in the Army and they have parts of the UCMJ declaring drunks are illegal. Thus AT was himself breaking laws.

No, it is clearly you showing ignorance here. I don't "bring it up in every conversation," and I have explained ad nauseum why I bring it up when I do.

If a liberal wanted to have a conversation with me about marijuana I would be happy to discuss the relative merits of it with that liberal.

The problem here is thinly veiled liberals masquerading as Constitutional conservatives advocating marijuana and time-honored liberal restrictions on law enforcement that has proven over the years to protect criminality. I am a veteran right wing advocate and these people were virtually non-existent until a few years ago when they began to flood these forums. They're just liberal trolls.

I will not have a reasonable conversation with phonies who approach a topic under false pretenses.

This position is not traditional conservatism. It is merely opportunistic liberals in a Trojan Horse distorting right wing arguments to make a case for marijuana legalization.

taft. He's never gonna be in that position unless he becomes an Air Force Pilot. But, after listening to his defensive POT stories. I almost wonder whether he will be accepted into the military, at any level these days.

Look at how they compare my sickness of alcoholism with smoking pot. It reminds me of my father...always reminding me "TWO Wrongs, never make a Right!"

It's almost an accepted practice nowadays...since some states have made Pot legal, for all of the Celebrants and Users..who deny using, to come out of the woodwork to dismiss anyone who says anything negative about the use of Pot.

I agree, drinking to excess is worse. But...how many HONEST people driving in Colorado, or other states where Pot has been legalized, HOPE...they never meet a STONED Driver coming toward them...in their lane?????

I defend it because it is beyond stupid that it's illegal. Personal dicision, doesn't harm others. NO reason to ban it for personal use.

Take it or leave it. I can tell you that I've never done it till my face turns blue. But I guess you wont take my word for it until i give you my identity and a drug test. So believe what you want, but the truth is I'm waiting until it's legalized in the next year or two.

If it's legalized, there's no reason why a military member couldn't do it while they were off. obviously the same rules for alcohol would apply to it.

That's a wonderful idea cadet. Now. If only we could convince millions of Americans...like those who voted for Obama TWICE, to learn, and understand what Personal Responsibility is. Yet few really want to accept it, and why should they when Government does all of their thinking for them?

If a liberal wanted to have a conversation with me about marijuana I would be happy to discuss the relative merits of it with that liberal.

The problem here is thinly veiled liberals masquerading as Constitutional conservatives advocating marijuana and time-honored liberal restrictions on law enforcement that has proven over the years to protect criminality. I am a veteran right wing advocate and these people were virtually non-existent until a few years ago when they began to flood these forums. They're just liberal trolls.

I will not have a reasonable conversation with phonies who approach a topic under false pretenses.

This position is not traditional conservatism. It is merely opportunistic liberals in a Trojan Horse distorting right wing arguments to make a case for marijuana legalization.

I wonder if you've actually written what I've wrote, and have any rebukes to what I've actually said. But again, you've gone to the liberal way of debating and stirred toward insult rather then information.
The RIGHT WING STANCE, is to-each-his-own. By letting the gov't come in and tell you what you can and cannot digest is completely against everything america was founded upon.

Freedom, do what you want, don't stop others from doing what they want. And that's the basis of it all.


FREEDOM, or do you think that regulating things is a republican view? Next you'll be telling me uncle sam can tell me how many times i need to brush my teeth, or how much i can eat, or any number of things.

...You are able to defend it as much as you like. But you cannot, and should not expect to be able to exercise the use of POT if you plan on being in, and remaining in uniform.
They just do not mix. And will get you that Dishonorable Discharge you want.

There is absolutely NOTHING against having political views while being in the military. When it has nothing to do with upholding the constitution, I can have whatever views I want. Grant it, it's a bad idea to talk about said views just in case the person next to you has completely different views. Rule of thumb.

But unless I practice it, I should be fine until it's no longer a criminal act.

You know what always gives these phoney libertarians away? Stick with the discussion long enough and they'll inevitably say "If you legalize marijuana the government could regulate production and distribution, tax it, and that will balance the budget!"

It'd be freaking impossible to tax, considering it grows like a weed.
Businesses could easily start mass producing it though, it'd help start out new jobs as well.

Taft, I see a trend here. What is your problem with pot? And why do you feel the need to bring it up in every conversation when you could very well go back to the thread where you basically lost due to ignorance?

Fact's that I don't think you seem to understand.

Pot compared to beer;
1. does not make you go as crazy as beer.
2. acts immediately and dissipates just as quickly, unlike alcohol.
3. Doesn't leave a hangover.
4. Not bad for your liver
5. Non-addictive.

Medically;
1. Relaxes stress.
2. Helps get someone hungry when it's necessary they eat after an operation.
3. calming for freaking out patients.

Compared to cigarettes.
1. NON-ADDICTIVE
2. Doesn't cause cancers.
3. Doesn't cut life span.
4. doesn't have poison in it.

Compared to dangerous drugs such as meth/coke/what-have-you.
1. No life threatening effects.
2. It's not a gateway drug.
3. cheap.
4. easy to make.
5. "Dangerous people" don't sell it.
6. Again, NON-ADDICTIVE.



People are already doing it, even if it's illegal. Why not just make their lives easier and make it legal? Not only economically does this make a whole lot of sense, it also gets rid of countless pointless crimes.

When america was founded, it was founded on the premises of laissez faire. People have a right to live their own lives. Laws were made biased on your life ruining others. Murder doesn't affect just you, it affects others, thus it's illegal. Stealing harms others, so that's illegal. Harming yourself is in no way shape or form dangerous to others. There's no point in making a law to protect citizens from themselves. If you're dumb enough to do something to yourself, it's your own damn fault. 'MERICA
(^^^^Important paragraph, if you skim at least read this)

Besides, how old are you? Are you just pissy cause you didn't get an invite to Woodstock? Everyone else should suffer?
Personally, I would compare marijuana today to moonshine back in prohibition. And it's not as bad for you!
Live a little and smoke one.

And before you start calling me a pothead, I've never tried it. For one, that'd be impossible with my drug tests. And two, I follow laws. I'm waiting for it to be legalized before I do that. Which I can see happening within the next few years, if not this one.
Try to actually answer this post instead of laughing and calling me a hippy. Try to look at what i said instead of fighting like the liberal you are and resorting to name calling.
Marijuana is addictive. So is refined sugar FWIW. The difference between marijuana and, say nicotine or opiates is that MJ is not physiologically addictive. The difference is that marijuana doesn't have the physical withdrawals that physiological dependency exhibits-- it's psychological. A marijuana addiction is like becoming addicted to sex or eating high sugar/fat foods. The addiction is to a chemical induced feeling. That's why so many can use marijuana a little and have no issues-- the same way you could have a cheeseburger, fries and shake and have no issue. Do that for days/weeks on end though, and watch out. You come to believe you need it. That's psychological dependency: a coping mechanism.

I think bob saget best alluded to what constitutes addiction; you willing to suck a dick to get a fix-- thats addiction! Although, I guess if one is addicted to sex, it doesn't really apply. :laugh2:

I don't believe that drinking booze or smoking pot makes one want to drive cars.

If one must leave a premise, drunks take a lot longer to recover than do those who smoked pot.

As we who defend guns, we also defend your right to harm only your own body. If you want to drink, you get no argument from me. I don't drink much at all. I have in the past drank but not to the point of ever needing or wanting to drink. It is fine with me if I drink or fine if i don't. I have no dog in that hunt.

I feel the same about pot. If you smoke it and do not cause me harm, I am fine with you smoking pot. Even if smoking it will kill you (I don't suspect it will) it is your body. Just do not harm others.

I trust pot smokers much more than those who drink. I have to check out how fast you re cover from smoking pot but believe the time is much shorter than for booze.

Smoking pot though is to get under the influence. One may drink but not drink to the point of being under the influence in any meaningful way. A beer over an hour won't do much if you plan to get drunk. A glass of wine over a long dinner should not hurt.

Turns out that congress got around to making laws covering this around 1970. There is no reason for the Feds to do this to citizens given that states already have that sort of control.

Robert says: Trying to be helpful since I believe in human freedom but feel you owe it to yourself to know what you are doing to your body, thus while supporting freedom, at least support this good advice or good account and you can get a hint of the advice.


I am a former or recovering marijuana addict, I consider myself an addict as I had to smoke at least an eighth of really strong weed a day, Which here in the UK we call skunk. Not only that but it had to be strong skunk, the kind I believe that you guys in the USA would call the chronic. I mention this because I have read that weed called skunk in America isn’t the really strong stuff, but low grade commercial strength. Well here in the UK the term skunk means the indoor hydroponically grown, loads of massive THC crystals, strongest you can buy stuff.
I went on like this for a few years, spending at least £600 a month on cannabis. So you could say I was a long term heavy user. I just couldn’t stop, the very idea of not smoking that much every day would send me into a panic. If I went too long without a spliff I would get a bit shaky and really desperate for a smoke.
Anyway after a few years of chronic marijuana addiction, it really started to rot my brain. My memory and cognitive ability really started to become affected. It became like I was in a constant daze, everything was always cloudy. In fact I have since discovered the unofficial term of brain fog. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_fog Which best describes my symptoms. I knew cannabis was responsible for the decline in my mental state and mental health, it was starting to give me anxiety and depression as well, I knew it was damaging my brain, but I just could not stop. Things started to get really bad, so I did start to reduce the amount I smoked over a period of months. But the brain fog, depression and paranoia did not get any better, even when smoking a small amount my mental abilities were still really impaired, I was struggling really bad to think my thoughts in terms of words and language and couldn’t remember hardly anything. I felt like a living vegetable as if someone had removed 90% of my brain, trying to stumble about confused and in a constant cloud. I had to stop driving as I was no longer safe behind the wheel.
Any way I carried on like this for a while smoking only a very small amount at the end of the day, but gradually getting worse. Until one night I went to bed and woke up a few hours later in a state of panic, I was used to feeling high levels of anxiety and paranoia but this was something I had never felt before. My whole body felt really wrong, as though I was in some sort of state of shock. It’s almost impossible to describe but I felt really messed up, I didn’t know where to put myself. It was light outside so all I could do was go outside and try and walk it off. I walked around for hours still in a state of acute anxiety. After a good few hours I got back to a state, that was close to what normality had become, which was still very mentally ill and messed up. That was the last time that I smoked weed. Finally it had got to the stage where I was physically unable to smoke marijuana, due to the effect it had on my body. It was far more unpleasant to smoke it, than to go through the withdrawal of not.
Any way it’s been a few years now since I stopped, and I have recovered partially but not fully. I still feel like I am in a bit of a trance, I still feel like I am in a cloud of brain fog. My intelligence, memory and cognitive abilities are significantly poorer than before I started smoking cannabis. I still am no longer able to drive; I know I would not be safe on the road. I am in no doubt that skunk weed has caused me serious brain damage, from which I have never properly recovered. By the way it’s taken me ages to write this and if it weren’t for Microsoft’s word’s spelling and grammar check, I may as well have wrote it in Chinese. It’s also left me with serious mental health problems; the anxiety and depression are still pretty bad. It has made my ocd which I did have before smoking cannabis allot worse and I have also developed social phobia, I have often felt suicidal.
All I can say to any one experiencing any minor mental impairment or mental health problems, as a result of smoking cannabis is to stop now, the more you smoke the worse it will get. Brain damage is a serious thing, you only get one brain, and they can’t be transplanted or easily fixed once their damaged. And that’s not to mention the damage it has done to my lungs, which is also permanent. I used to think marijuana was the best thing in the world, I was so pro cannabis it was untrue, when I first started I thought it was harmless, now I know it’s one of the most harmful and dangerous, wolf in sheep’s clothing things, I have ever encountered as a young person, particularly as it’s so much stronger than it used to be. I have learnt the facts about marijuana the hard way. Richard

Cadet already said he has never done it and doesn't plan on doing any unless it's legal, and I'm pretty sure he means legal under the UCMJ since he sounds bright enough to understand those are the laws he'll be living under while in the military.

Again, more evidence of liberalism amongst our pothead conservatives.

Just like our country strolled along for nearly 200 years believing laws against abortion were perfectly legal, and then one day a liberal judge decided "ZOMG! There's a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to have an abortion!"

Now these same geniuses say there is no right to ban substances, use of one's body for prostitution, gay marriage, incest, polygamy, ad infinitum....

It's a false premise that "the government" is banning these behaviors. It's "the people" passing these laws through their elected representatives.

Personal freedom. Gov't breaking the FEW laws that were set upon it. Here's a nice list of rules they've broken.


Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

Schools. That's all I'm going to say.


A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

We don't even HAVE a militia. And I'm not even going to get into how much the right has been infringed.


The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

This one's a slap in the face. It seems to me that all the things the big guy can't do should be left to the state. When was the last time some sort of power was granted to the state? It seems to me that the united states is no longer a UNITED group of STATES. Instead, we're just a tyranny with uncle sam in charge. Less room for the people to get their word in, in their state.

The people don't hold any power anymore. They might be able to vote between one or two guys. But that's about it. The power needs spread back out to the states. So that the people can have their fare share of power of voice within their area.

Essentially, yes.

Let's break it down:

I say the Founding Fathers left it to the people to pass the laws under which they've be governed, with an intent the laws they passed would be acceptable so long as they did not violate Constitutionally protected rights.

It was funny watching you twist your way through what you think is logic but then you got to the last part which made me spit coffee on my laptop.

I already know that you enjoy big government when it works to your advantage but the essential question which you choose to avoid is this; What should government do and what it should not do? Of course they left to government, states primarily, as to what should be done but that really isn't the issue.

I think the founding fathers intended the role of the federal government to be a check upon the overzealous will of any state; not to superimpose its zeal upon the states. Now perhaps the civil war marked a change, but nevertheless, that doesn't change what the founding fathers thought--see amendment X. And show me where exactly the power to ban substances was afforded to the federal government. It's not; that's why it was necessary to amend the constitution for prohibition. That failed, and was repealed. Several states have laws allowing for marijuana use, yet the Feds still enforce federal laws. So if you follow the will of the people, then wouldn't you say the will of the people is being violated and the federal government is in violation if the tenth amendment? You claim FJ is a snit because h can't get his way, but even when the populus votes to change the law, (several states have btw), its ignored by the federal government. the founders fathers had the foresight to limit to certain interstate disputes. Jefferson even said the states have a right to experiment without intervention from the feds. And before you go off about weed, it was wheat that set the precedent from which Feds claim authority over commerce. So are you against the right of the people to grow wheat and use it?

If he ever gets down off that high horse and steps back down on earth, stops lying about your views or my views, will he try once to comprehend the actual structure of the US Constitution?

First part of the document. Explains to the Feds how they must operate.

Not one word about how states must operate.

Second part called the Bill of Rights. Provides more instructions to the Feds what they must and must not do.

Comments about states rights says the limits on the Feds are many (my interpration )and the rights of states are many. This means the states powers come first.

States indeed proved this by their own constitutions. Why would states need constitutions if the Feds were so powerful?

Smoking pot is legal in some states. The Feds can't stand it though nothing in founding documents says the Feds can break the backs of states to deal with citizens of states.

The Feds need to be slapped down. The SCOTUs is slow to act because unless some affected citizen steps up to bat the Feds down, (Roe v Wade for instance) the Feds will assume their powers run amok.

This is not about what you or I believe, but what is written.

As to prostitution, thus far, the Feds have not made rules. At least one state, Nevada, has prostitution legal in certain counties. Another non crime since many men and women have sex, many men pay through the nose even while married so what is new about sex paid for per services?

Taft says conservative but talks like a so called liberal. Actually, he talks like a Democrat.

No, what I meant is that is that if legislation is enacted that displeases the people, the Constitution allows the people to replace that legislature and have that law repealed.

It was federal legislators who enacted the law, and so far the people have not sought fit to have that law overturned.

Since you are clearly hypocritical, why is it such a stretch to conclude you're duplicitous as well?

You say over and over you're not a pothead, I don't believe you, and you get in a snit.

I say over and over I'm not in favor of big government. You don't believe me. My panties stand unwadded.

It's a fair trade off.

You're proposing repealing a law within a vacuum of consequences. Sorry, that's not the real world.... which is pretty much why libertarians have never been given any real position in the real world.

Not that I think you're a genuine libertarian, that is a rare breed.

You're a liberal, masquerading as a libertarian.

If you don't believe I mean what I write, then you obviously can't have a debate.
If you're not in favor of big government, why do you want the gov't to be able to say what you can do?

And an FYI, even though you won't believe me, I hate liberal ideology, and am all for a person gaining what they have through hard work. And I've not a pot head.

But I have to remember, you can't have a rational conversation with an idiot. So I'm done with the thread that you won't read. No point in debating something when you cant even have a rational conversation.

Of course I read it. It's gibberish premised on bullshit.

.... unless I missed it somewhere in there where you said; "The welfare state has been eliminated. Now is the time for serious discussion of the legalization of marijuana and narcotics."

If you did say that, I apologize. Please point it out to me.

... and if you truly oppose the welfare state, why pass legislation that will do nothing other than balloon its enrollment?

Yeah, you're against "big government". :laugh:

Take it or leave it jackass. I told you what I believe in, it's up to you to believe it.

But the point still stands. The gov't needs to pull itself out of daily life of the average joe. And needs less say in it. One last thing, it's a helicopter parent over it's citizens. I think we can agree on that.

Do you even understand the quote "Thou dost protest too much"? Think about it in terms of your fixation on potheads. Aren't potheads those things women use to get hot items out of the oven?

You're not really following the flow are you? He says he's sober I say he's drunk; it's a game where he jumps to unsupported conclusions and I turn it around on him. Besides, I said he was drunk on "something," leaving it wide open for him to assume what I think he is drunk on.

Indeed? Please show me where that power is denied

amendment X "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

You claim FJ is a snit because h can't get his way, but even when the populus votes to change the law[quote]
[QUOTE=taft2012;623309]
No, what I meant is that is that if legislation is enacted that displeases the people, the Constitution allows the people to replace that legislature and have that law repealed.

It was federal legislators who enacted the law, and so far the people have not sought fit to have that law overturned.
Oh yeah; vote em out...maybe that'll make a difference. The congress that ignored their own commission's reports, for reasons that indicate their tendency only to further the usurpation of privacy and personal choice. I submit a Tax that's not a tax, but is. or just today, Ryan's "balanced" budget that is really just less in the red. Its all just a misinformation game, the people are just so overwhelmed by the idiocy of it all that reefer madness is relegated to the status quo in light of the latest and more pervasive invasions...nonetheless, many states have seen fit to listen to the voice of the people rather than the lobbies (PhRMA, law enforcement, etc) with their hands in the till. I suppose privacy and personal choice aren't all that marketable. As a congressman who runs on giving the people a choice to smoke pot isn't gonna get the PAC funding that building a new prison will. US Congress is no more responsive to the will of the people than a black hole is responsive to light; whatever blue/red shift the next cycle exhibits is just an illusion; merely indicating fom which area the power grab will take, not that power will be returned to the people. Congress is stupid. Time to restore the Republic by which We stand.

"Something" like power me thinks; well played. . Apparently the broad brushing of those who disagree with him as potheads escapes Tyr's radar.

Perhaps.

But I won't be a douchebag in ladies' shoes and vintage nylons.:laugh:

Correct you are. I suspect you would be found at Victoria Secret.

You know, bub, you started this crap so any day that you wish to grow up and stop harassing several posters will find me being proper to you. Your call.

Threads like this one directed at a member tends to remind me of another member who always accuses me, and other members of always talking about, and picking on him.

Then...I see WHICH MEMBER is making the most noise, and doing exactly what he accuses me, and others of doing. But he intends to remain Obamalike in his need for recognition, and VICTIM status as the poor guy who is being picked on all the time.

Kinda like that POT meeting KETTLE thingy.
