Pretty impressive rant there. Totally void of truth and logic, but when does any liberal use truth and logic. They just resort to name calling.

Face it. You are in the (wrong) minority here. This is a pro-God, pro-Family site. You and dopers like you are not welcome.

OK, so you guys are on different sides of the issue and mad at each other.

But consider this, without the WOD, “civil asset forfeitures”, and the rise of heavily militarized police would have never have developed to its current level.

IMHO, you have to separate the issue of pot and pot users from the effects caused by the huge profits and attraction to criminal behavior caused by its prohibition. If you don’t, it’s easy to assume that the societal problems will increase if pot is made legal.

Let’s look at alcohol. Prohibition brought us Al Capone and Joe Kennedy, and a lot of disrespect for government. Repeal brought us somewhat more drunks and a lot of taxes. Which was worse?

How is alcohol prohibition different than pot prohibition?

“Face it. You are in the (wrong) minority here. This is a pro-God, pro-Family site. You and dopers like you are not welcome.”

Now hold on a second. This is also supposed to be a low-government site to yet you are telling supposedly free adults that you cant take some thing that grows from the ground and smoke it? On what grounds?

How is that any different than smoking tobacco? How is it different than drinking beer How is it any different than eating greasy foods?

All of those things affect people if done to excess. None of them has led to the downfall of civilization and non have anything to do with being pro or anti family.

This is just another example of government and their enablers hiding behind families or kids in order to control behavior.

A person cant have tobacco soda and fried foods at home - We condemn them as commies and nanny-state types.

A person cant smoke what is basically a plant in their own homes - We are just protecting society?

How can you have both and not lose credibility?

From what I’ve seen, the dope-heads actually make the cogent “conservative” arguments here. What “conservative” arguments are you making?
Federalism? States’ rights? A limited federal government with limited powers? Individual responsibility? Liberty? Freedom from a capricious and tyrannical government?
Just curious.
