Drug advocacy is one of the cornerstones of left-wing liberalism.
Yep, some claimed taxing marijuana was going to turn around our economy? You would have to be stoned to believe that. Oh wait.
What could possibly go wrong?
Who wants to turn the country into a bunch of pot smoking, underachieving, Obama voting, hipster barristas?
“I still believe we need further time to analyze the effects from the Colorado and Washington legalization of marijuana”
we Kemosabe?
Meaningless platitude.
The problem with marijuana is that it stays in your system for weeks, and the effects of this are not fully known. In addition, sustained heavy use accumulates in a person’s system with the effect of a permanent high. Judgement may be adversely affected.
Interestingly, I believe that all the recent black deaths at the hands of police had one thing in common...traces of marijuana(and often other drugs)drug tests.
Police reports often mentioned “irrational behavior”, are police actions a result of prejudice against blacks or against drug-induced behaviors?
I find it interesting that not one of these articles interviews people in Colorado. If they did there would be no story.
Yes, quite right. I learned those facts in a movie called Reefer Madness. We sure are lucky that only safe drugs like alcohol are legal.

Do you mean like the near constant booze ads on all media outlets, telling us how great their buzz is?
You can keep all the whiskey from Lynchburg, Tennessee.
Lawrenceburg, KY on the other hand .......
Do you advocate legalizing heroin, crystal meth, cocaine, etc? Do you feel it is your God-given right to take these yourself and sell them to others?
Liberals... and Libertarians.
Precisely.
If this were the case wouldnt there be a very low demand for cannabis as an intoxicant? As we would all be permanently high and wouldnt need to smoke any more.
Seems to me whether it’s pols in DC making laws with no knowledge of the subject at hand or drug debates fueled with emotion and baseless propaganda, the result is always the same... And that’s all I want to say, except for the presumption found in the article saying that high dope prices brought about the burgeoning black market—that market has existed since at least the 1920’s, and always will.
Pot is the greatest dumbing down product ever produced and the user thinks they are educated about all things.
Drugged kids don’t learn the Common Core, which Bennett backs.
