I wonder why the sudden big push to legalize pot at this particular time? We have a bunch of young brain damaged, uneducated, game addicts now, why do we want more zombies, or should I say why would the Feds want more young adult zombies?
Could it be the Feds want more stupefied kids of prime fighting age zonked out? Wonder why, what’s coming?

This isn't coming from the feds; it is coming from people tired of the War on Drugs. They're tired of no-knock raids, they are tired of their dogs being shot, they are tired of forfeiture laws, and they're tired of so many people being in prison. They're tired of the losses of freedom, and they're tired of the feds telling the states what to do. And with all of that, the drugs are still on the streets. The feds have fought this at every turn.
I was initially surprised to see that the marijuana thing passed here in Colorado - it flew under the radar as far as the amount of publicity it got before the elections. When it became law, I think it surprised most people. Many politicians came out against it, but the people running the campaign never seemed to say much.
We don't have legal recreational marijuana in our town, but it is coming to a small town in our same county. We've had medical marijuana for years. Either way, it hasn't affected us and doesn't seem to have affected most other people we know. We didn't do drugs before and don't do them now.
There are roughly as many medical pot places as there are liquor stores in our area. The crime rate is the same or down a bit. Talking to friends, people on all sides of the spectrum seem to support it, and it isn't the big deal here that it seems to be from the outside looking in.
It’s because Muslims don’t drink alcohol - watch for the criminalization campaign to begin soon on something that has been part of human civilization for millennia - but they do smoke a lot of pot and hash. I imagine qat will be next.
We can see what wonders staying stoned has done for the Muslim world and it’s decidedly non-thriving countries.
These things don’t taste good, smell good, have any culinary or aesthetic value, and have no non-intoxicating dosage; they just serve to make you stupid, lazy and accepting. What more could a good Muslim Marxist want for “his people?”
Obviously it was inevitable
Good point.
I suspect, though, that it has more to do with financial interests. Corporations who have or are ready to invest in marijuana growth are likely pressuring politicians to legalize. It’s been quite a number of years ago, but I remember reading about how one of the big tobacco companies was poised to invest in pot production.
There’s been a heavy push to legalize since about 5 minutes after it became illegal. It’s just finally gained enough steam to start winning, largely because there’s now three generations worth of former (and even current) pot smokers who know the government lies about pot voting.
