And your notion of freedom is just an ideological cover for feelings. You don’t care for freedom. Instead, you mainly use it to promote a feeling, in this case the stupor of feeling high from the smelly assed pot god.

A feeling is your end, and freedom is just a means to serve this end.

The WeedWankers here are a strange bunch, they mix social progressivism with dubya compassionate conservatism, and they want us to worship them and their religious figurehead — the potleaf — as the embodiement of conservatism and the Constitution.

They are unstable in so many ways.

Again, well said and true. They attach moral superiority to their emotional dependence on weed - like only the “enlightened” understand how bad they need this drug to free them from all responsibility.

Boy, you're a whiney little thing aren't you?

Hateful attitude to kick the new year off. Good start.

Let's hope your life is going better than your attitude.

“Soros “facts and figures””

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been co-opted by Soros to promote legalized dope?

Lazy doesn't even begin to describe him.

Ok, so HE is lazy. I get it. There are people out there that are lazy. Some of them were just as lazy BEFORE they started smoking pot. Some of them continue to be lazy. Some people pick up a gun and decide to shoot people with it. Most people don't. Some people choose to overeat and become massively lazy, too. See the common thread here?

I first tried pot at 15. By 17, I was smoking regularly and have continued to do so. 25 years later, I've raised 2 kids, run for public office (as a Republican), completed a 4 year degree (while working 2 jobs AND raising a family), have a record in Business Management of producing results, regularly receive bonuses and other recognition for my performance and am a monthly donor to FR and general productive and contributing member of society. One of my kids uses pot every once in a while, usually when on vacation from the job he's held for over 5 years. My daughter prefers her wine over the pot, and doesn't really use it.

It depends on the person. If they are lazy to begin with, they will continue to be lazy. Peddle your propaganda elsewhere.

That’s the real image of pot - stoned and sitting around being stupid.

And that image is false. You've been duped. Who's the sucker now?

Well if breaking drug laws for 25 years is your claim to fame, then it's sure to be a resume enhancer.

Sure, overlook everything I've accomplished, since it doesn't fit your propaganda BS.

if people are dealing drugs and buying illegal drugs then the law applies.

Laws can be changed; the laws against marijuana do much more to enrich violent criminals than to hinder marijuana sale and use.

Obviously not true. The teen marijuana rate has gone up since legalization (as have arrests for illegal pot growing operations - everyone’s an entreprenuer) which proves the period of time it was illegal hindered sale and use. The pro pot lobby just makes it up as they go along, all the while lecturing others.

Wrong propaganda as usual. WHen I saw that fake post claiming teen use didn’t go up, I went and researched it and voila - teen use has increased.
“Resource officers” which are basically police officers stationed on campus and high school councelors have been reporting significant increases however the SCHOOLS get to decide what to do about a high student so the school is electing not to prosecute or have them arrested, artificially suppressing the results and then the pot lobby brags! Sad. Very sad that the kids futures get flushed down the toilet because adults dependent on pot will run over the news with pro pot lies. Like I said, sad. But the last people the pot lobby is going to care about it kids. Those pot heads NEED their pot, don’t they?

They're keeping statistics?

however the SCHOOLS get to decide what to do about a high student so the school is electing not to prosecute or have them arrested, artificially suppressing the results

Is there any evidence that such suppression happens more than it used to?

In fact, do you have a source for anything you've claimed here? Or is FR supposed to just take your word for it?

YOU speak for all of FR?! Amazing!
I’ve posted links before but the pot heads are so desperate for weed they just ignored my efforts. NOTHING else matters to them. It’s the litmus test by pot heads will judge Jeff Sessions for all eternity. They portray it as the canary in the mineshaft signaling galloping fascism. Weed is their God and though shalt not deny them their religion!
