    Are you illiterate , dishonest, or a mix of both? I said liberals (IE YOU) should treat drugs the way you treat guns. I said NOTHING about the legality of either.

    Just imagine what the gov’t can do to a drugged populace with no guns and a biased media. We’re almost there.

    If it's not a crime, the prices will drop dramatically, and yes, that will increase usage. While I think that marijuana is just fine, every study I have read shows that usage and addiction has risen dramatically in the places it's been legalized. But again, that's marijuana, it ain't gonna kill no one.

    I'm not so sure about "it's just marijuana" Jimmy. Marijuana has positively been linked to an increased likelihood of schizophrenia. Not "man made climate change" linked either, but with actual science. Not to say you will develop mental illness from the occasional joint, and marijuana isn't likely to kill you in an overdose the way other drugs are, but your chances of developing a mental illness do increase dramatically if you smoke daily. This is almost entirely due to the increased THC levels in marijuana compared to even 10 years ago.

    Almost as many as voted for Cruz. That's "who" "these people" are. He is popular with the politically active Hispanic crowd here. He's one person I'd rather see dead than President.

    Yep, was going to post this myself. The new marijuana is WAAAAY more powerful than before. It's not like the old 'lumbo gold' we used to get for $20 an oz. This new stuff is POTENT... as in dangerous potent.

    Well, not the way liberals are pressing for more laws and confiscation.

    They focus on the tool, or in this case the substance, and not the human that uses them.
