You mean these grass buys were straw purchases?
America can’t survive legalization of pot. Stupidity, laziness, and apostasy are at an all time high. More people smoking will amplify all the things conservatives hate. More votes for corrupt pols who promise what they can only deliver by taking from other. More stupid social liberalism. Less freedom for us.
how totally unexpected.
Wordsmithed headline. Interesting on one hand, and obviously redundant.
I guarantee you, it would be impossible to find a more anti drug person than myself.
If every druggie overdosed and died tomorrow, I’d be quite happy.
HOWEVER, if it took a Constitutional Amendment to ban alcohol why does the Federal Government believe it has the Constitutional authority to ban these drugs without a Constitutional Amendment?
We have existing laws to render or increase punishment for damage done under the influence and those punishments can be easily increased without an Amendment.
Government wars on xyz seem to be quite ineffective. The war on poverty was a complete failure. The war on drugs is not only a failure but unconstitutional.

Oh, nooooooooes!
All those DEA agents need their paycheck.
Notice it’s being smuggled INTO places where it’s not legal. If it was fully legal RJR and Winston would corner the market. Partial legality keeps a black market.
“We just smiled and waved/Sittin’ on that sack of seeds.”
Once the people untether themselves from an external moral code (God) and abdicate their responsibility for self-control, they essentially become ungovernable under our system of self-government and can therefore no longer be trusted to make wise decisions. This is why the breakdown of society inevitably leads to dictatorship.
Permitting such people to have unfettered access to mind-altering drugs (something that earlier, more mature generations handled without trouble) will only accelerate the current societal decline. Unfortunately, a large portion of the "American people" of today simply aren't mature enough to handle it.
We as conservatives can't on the one hand say (rightly) that the liberal parasites are a danger to the country, but on the other hand think that making it easier for them to obtain psychoactive drugs will somehow lead to Libertarian nirvana. I understand the principle, but in today's world I am afraid that some restrictions are necessary.
Well, would you rather have your state importing marijuana from Colorado, or from Mexico? People are going to get it from somewhere, one way or the other.
With so many illegals moving into Colorado, it is unreasonable to expect them not to use their job and business skills. They are sharing their culture with us, and there are obviously millions, about 100 million Americans, who want to share with them.
