In this case, liberty to fry your own brain.
The war on drugs bonanza has helped fund the swamp. Prosecutors, civil asset forfeitures, defense attorneys, private prisons, the rehab and counseling bonanza.”
Exactly. Prohibitionists = Swamp creatures and their enablers.
He'd be absolutely correct—just as with alcohol and tobacco.
It's all based on this scary, threatening, annoying concept called "Liberty", wherein—if an individual isn't infringing on the rights of somebody else via force, fraud, or negligence—they have every right to be left the f-ck alone by government and nanny-staters, and to engage in the pursuit of happiness as they see fit...
“if an individual isn’t infringing on the rights of somebody else via force, fraud, or negligence”
Fatal accidents caused by drivers with marijuana in their blood have close to tripled since the State of Washington ‘legalized’ marijuana.
That's why DUI is a crime, whether for marijuana, alcohol, or any other intoxicant.
Personally, I'd rather be driving around on a road with 1000 stoned-on-marijuana drivers, than with half a dozen drivers who are drunk.
In any event, such observations have nothing to do with those circumstances when people aren't driving, or are simply enjoying themselves in the privacy of their own home or under some other benign circumstances...
How do they get home from the potshop?
I assume he wants to grow a lot and become rich.
On the contrary, one more reason why he is doing a fantastic job!
Here in SW OR, there are many hundreds of growing ops, just in my valley alone. It’s so insanely horrible that the majority of people want it banned on rural residential property.
People who want to know what legal mj growing is really like, come and stay here or in rural Northern CA for a while.
Then you’ll wake up to reality.
That is, if you can stop using long enough to be able think straight.
RJ Reynolds and I think another big tobacco outfit reportedly has bought huge acreage in SW OR.
Is it open air grows?
“Fatal accidents caused by drivers with marijuana in their blood have close to tripled since the State of Washington ‘legalized’ marijuana.”
Fake news, Marvin. You now qualify to be a panelist on CNN or PMSNBC.

“The percentage of drivers involved in fatal crashes who had traces of marijuana in their blood has doubled since marijuana was legalized in Washington state, a new study suggests.”
So it’s not “tripled” but doubled, Marvin. That kind of fallacy probably gets you on 2+ panels a day on CNN but not much else.
“The findings, which were released by the (AAA), suggest that states that have legalized marijuana use need better rules to protect drivers on the road, Nelson said.”
Works for me. How about you, Marvin?
Hardly any greenhouses; mostly open air. Some miles from here in another town there are some really giant greenhouses; read about them only. In my county there are 120 permitted and licensed grow ops, and upwards of 1000 altogether. So the vast majority are still illegal. I’ve posted many comments about what it’s like here in SW OR. Hell.
Should have added probably 1000 in my valley, I have no idea how many in the whole county. Some are of course in the National Forest, as well as all over in rural residential lots.
Are you saying those grows wouldn’t be there in nearly as great a number if Oregon hadn’t legalized?
If so, I don’t follow your logic.
You want to ban alcohol?
Potheads are like Mexican jumping beans.
They cannot confront any discussion of their own marijuana and immediately flee to other topics.
