And so has excess alcohol... sigh. We don’t impose quotas yet at liquor emporiums. They won’t sell to a drunk or in most places to someone without an ID card but other than that... pickle your liver all you please.

The sooner we quit demonizing THINGS the sooner we will wake up to responsibility for PEOPLE to use those THINGS in good ways, if at all.

Drugs are bad. The war on some drugs is much worse.

So you support the Wickard Commerce Clause, which has trashed the Tenth Amendment.

How do you justify that?

I have known quite a few regular, every day marijuana users.
In 90% of these users it causes their reflexes to slow down like molasses and it causes them to be lazy as hell and want to do nothing but eat while they’re smoking this garbage. The effects for the big time pot heads are almost identical to drinking a 12 pack of beer. We all know what a 12 pack of beer does to our senses, especially when trying to drive a vehicle. The government goes way to easy on drunk drivers. Legalizing dope will cause more deaths on the highway, and is that what we really need? It’s all BS.

Marijuana is abused by most users. People smoke to get high, not a little buzzed or to relax but to get baked. Every time.

Can alcohol be abused like that, yes. But for the most part it can be used in moderation and still enjoyed. With pot it is go all the way to stupidity, laughing and thinking your so cool when really you act like an idiot when stoned on pot.

this ?

How does that apply ? I don’t have the time to read all that
got to get to work .

Have you heard the adage “ going to pot “ ?

I do not want to see my nation go to pot . It has messed a lot of things up since first getting popularized as a drug long ago . It definitely causes Lib-progressive mindset , and that will be the death of our homeland eventually .
I live in a total hotbed of ganja lifestyle and I am surrounded with clueless nit-wits that all think they are as brilliant and enlightened as hell . They ALL voted for Obama , every damn one

A number of non-Rx medications can render a person unfit to drive too. Antihistamines chief among them. And of course, Rx medications some of which could hose one’s alertness as bad as, if not worse than, Rx pot.

I’ve often wished that patrol cars could carry reaction-testing machines, because that would take most of the subjectivity out of “too impaired to drive.” And it would help deal with medication-impairment cases.

One can enjoy an adult beverage without getting buzzed or drunk.

Then why does every DUI class in the country teach that even one beer/drink will affect your judgment?

I volunteer

That's like the "gallows type" joke (about me) being elected "The Dictator of the World" to solve all the world's problems(with an iron glove if need be)......

Then getting gunned down the very next day by my supporters after doing just that.

(Meaning people "want" their problems fixed but won't like the manner in which it has to be done)

Most sodomites and dykes are everyday dope smokers. If they could do some kind of survey to show who smokes the most dope it would show the degenerates are the biggest users. They do this to escape reality because they’re ashamed of their filthy lifestyle.

How does that apply ?

Because it permits Congress to override the Tenth Amendment and regulate matters that were originally meant for the states. It is how fedgov controls education, health care, the environment, welfare and intrastate marijuana prohibition. It is the heart of big government.

When you get back from work, I would be interested in hearing how you justify trashing the Tenth Amendment.

Mr. Robinson - I can imagine you're subjected to thousands of pings every day, many of which are to tattle on others in hope of getting someone zotted or maybe just to garner a "me too" from the boss. So, the signal to noise ratio is probably pretty low in the daily barrage of messages sent your way.

I hope this will draw your interest since its intent is to get your opinion, which is highly valued. In the statement of Mon Mar 22 20:22:17 2004 , you enumerate the principles that are the foundation of Constitutional Conservatism and, of course, for Free Republic. There's no mention of drugs, one way or the other, in the list.

Where do you stand on this often divisive subject? Do you support legalization of drugs in any way?


Note that I've also pinged onyx since she's a stalwart of Free Republic, an unwavering Conservative and plays a large role in the FReepathons' successes over the years. Since we've had many good conversations here and she's taught me so much, I'd also like her opinion on the drug issue.

take a look at Colo and Wash in a few years and tell me how the great experiment has gone .

It'll probably be little different than it is now.

It being illegal never stopped any of my under aged friends from getting pot OR alcohol.

As "The Great Experiment" better known as Prohibition is seen as an failure many decades later, having the government interfere with the free will of the people is doomed either to turn a large part of the population into criminals with little or no regard for the law or turn the government into a ever increasingly powerful police state.

As an liberty loving, small government conservative and Constitutionalist, I know where I stand.

“The government goes way to easy on drunk drivers. Legalizing dope will cause more deaths on the highway, and is that what we really need? It’s all BS.”

Who deal with drunk drivers? The feds or the states?

Why can’t the states deal with your worries about drugged drivers and let the feds stick to what they are Constitutionally authorized to do?
