Successful pot-heads have to hide their hobbies if they want to stay successful (unless they are already rich and famous.)

-kaotic133

dean's list
national political science honor society
student government committee chair
pot-head AND bass player!

(Sometimes, a wake 'n bake was the only way to stay sane in a liberal professor's propoganda production class! And stoned outta my skull, I could still run logical circles around them! I love disagreeing with a professor so effectively they have no choice but to give you a good grade, lest you use your mental faculties to expose their bias.)

So, they tell you we're lazy then they put us in jail so we can't prove them wrong. Ignoring this law, I call civil disobedience. I call it anti-federalism! I call it being a conservative.

And until the federal laws change (or dissapear altogether.. I wouldn't miss DC much), I'll continue to support states and communities that thumb their noses at federal intrusions like the war on drugs.

Dr. William Halsted, father of American surgery, founder of Johns Hopkins Medical Center, was a morphine addict.

So was Senator Joseph McCarthy, morphine supplied by the father of the WoD, Harry Anslinger.

The best tile man I've ever known like to get high. He also was very creative in other ways and had patents pending of applications he created. He didn't drink. He would not lay a crooked piece of tile and was sought out for his creative ability's and outstanding work. I've a relative who likes to get high and work in his garden. He has one of the nicest gardens you'll ever see. You might be surprised at the number of people who secretly get high and are hard workers and very creative. I don't necessarily mean getting high on the job, most don't. I would rather work with someone who was high as opposed to someone who was drinking or drunk.

They're exercising their remaining rights in such a manner as to remain undetected ... we'll get them just as soon as we've eradicated all those pesky rights. Doubleplusgood!

I think you're being naive. If any town or state tries to legalize marijuana, or any drug for that matter, the imperial federal authorites would come on in and state arresting everyone and saying that federal law trumps all.

Depends on the seriousness of your condition.

go to jail if you smoke it outside anywhere

Not if marijuana's legal ... who goes to jail for smoking tobacco outside?

Perhaps ... but this article isn't about legalizing it.

"When is the election again?"

You're very close to the truth with that statement:

"Las Vegas -- An initiative to legalize possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana in Nevada might go up in smoke, after organizers forgot to file 6,000 petition signatures in southern Nevada."
-- AP, June 24, 2004

"So federalism and subsidiarity mean nothing to you? Some "conservative."

So the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution and a state legislator's Oath of Office mean nothing to you?

"They may get the idea that they are old enough to decide for themselves what is good for them."

Yeah, real tough decision. What's the downside? The government forces me to take care of them when they get all screwed up and need help.

Change that part first, then we'll talk about legalization.

And this differs from alcohol, cigarettes, fast cars, motorcycles, mountain climbing, venereal disease, etc, etc precisely how?

The problem is that you are one of the very few drug warriors who has libertarian views on the welfare state. "Compassionate" conservatives crave the nanny state.
