Oh Damn. I just learned Ted Cruz doesn’t smoke flowers. Or even advocate that other people smoke ‘em.
He must be not be a conservative.
Chris and Obie are as Close as Two Filthy Bugs in a Rug
Now that’s a tight fit.
That said, I despise the new public dope smokers even here in my state where it's illegal. They have become quite common. Hardly a day goes my where I'm not breathing in their skunky, dopey smoke, in parks, at stop lights and from neighboring houses.
Somebody, please, paint "Goodyear" on his a$$ and send him up.
He must be not be a conservative.
Can't tell unless we know how he feels about arresting others who choose for themselves.
ITS RUMORED that CHris and Obie REALLY like it that way
It’s a scary position to be in favor of drug abuse. John the Revelator quoted Christ in Rev. 21:8 when Christ recited a laundry list of people that will be thrown into the lake of fire:
Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
One of them is “sorcerers,” according to the KJV translators, and they probably used that word because they had no experience with drug abuse. But the underlying Greek word is “pharmakeus,” and the sense of it is someone who casts a spell on his mind using drugs.
I wonder how many Social Conservatives will now support him?
Once a statist, always a statist.
Well, that will certainly win the presidency for him.
Can’t tell unless we know how he feels about arresting others who choose for themselves.

Sure. And if Cruz made these comments and not Christie - then what would all you pro-dopers do?
Or do you really believe Ted will be 420 friendly?
I think that Cristie already has a terminal case of the munchies.
I wonder how many Social Conservatives will now support him?
_____________________________________________
Very few so-cons on this thread. Mostly pro-dope liberals. But speaking as a conservative; I’ll tell you that one correct assessment by Christie here will NOT get him all that far with us conservatives.
It's a behavior that is protected, at the Federal level, by the 10th Amendment.
And YES, I would call the 10th Amendment a fundamental "Freedom".
Now, what the states choose to do is up to them provided they do not violate the Constitution.
Despite the same last name, I didn't realize he was Chris Christie's uncle (Chris wasn't governor yet, but was NJ State Attorney). He was reluctant, he said, for "political reasons" to avail himself of pot, despite the terrible pain. Finally, he decided to give it a shot. I got him some weed and a pipe to smoke it in. When I brought it to his house, he told me he had changed his mind. He said he told his doctor that he was going to try pot and the doctor upped his medications instead. I didn't really believe him - he was obviously hurting as he spoke to me. I think he was really only concerned about the illegality of it.
He lived in pain for a few months after that, then died. Only later did I learn who his nephew was.
Cruz is ABSOLUTELY a Conservative and also a bedrock Social Conservative.
He just happens to believe in the 10th Amendment and believes States should determine their own pot laws.
Good thing nobody on FR is.
Read Genesis..
every seed is of God..
how you use it or abuse it is between God and the Devil and your conscience , I reckun.
Dope-smoking hippie. /s
