Isn’t introducing drug into the population of Okinawa the reason the Japanese took it without resistance? Hmmmmmm?

The American Bankers Association seemed to shy away from celebrating, however. In a statement, it said, "Guidance or regulation doesn't alter the underlying challenge for banks. As it stands, possession or distribution of marijuana violates federal law, and banks that provide support for those activities face the risk of prosecution and assorted sanctions." Racists! They clearly don't believe in the omnipotent power of The Won.

You’re right - we have become Sodom and Gomorrah, but the legalization of pot has nothing to do with it. I’m sure all the hand-wringing nannies were saying the same thing at the repeal of Prohibition. All I see is one less excuse the jackboots have to launch a military raid on someone’s house at 3am.

What a bizarre world were living in these days
Strange indeed, but what what scares me more is that I don't see anyone in the GOP (or elsewhere for that matter) who will be able to undue all the damage the Libs have done.
I've said this before - it's time for people like Rush to put his money where his mouth has been. Time to get off his @ss, run for office, hold freedom rallies across the country, etc.

America 2014: Socialism, dope and homo-marriage.
What a pathetic, degenerate cesspool this country has become. You’d think with America’s grand and great history it would merit a more noble death than this embarrassing and farcical disintegration.

I'm no believer in temperance, but if you don't think alcohol has caused serious problems for millions, you're sadly mistaken.

Do you mean that if I had been smoking pot my cataract operation would have been unnecessary?
Or does it mean that I would have felt better when I couldn’t see my grandson on the pitchers mound when I was in the front row? Or wouldn’t have cared about driving on interstates and using the right shoulder as a guide and not be able to read the overhead signs till I got under them?
Or would I have been so ‘happy’ I wouldn’t of cared?

Note that "government" power for the feds to regulate banks is just another wrongly usurped state power. This is evidenced by Thomas Jefferson having noted that the delegates to the Constitutional Convention had considered granting Congress such powers, but had dropped the issue.
A proposition was made to them to authorize Congress to open canals, and an amendatory one to empower them to incorporate. But the whole was rejected, and one of the reasons for rejection urged in debate was, that then they would have a power to erect a bank, which would render the great cities, where there were prejudices and jealousies on the subject, adverse to the reception of the Constitution (emphasis added). Jeffersons Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791.

Marijuana has been a “National Industry” for decades. Only now it’s moving from the black market to being officially recognized....and taxable.
The prohibition against it, and probably some others has been a colossal mistake/failure. It’s just like the prohibition of the 1920s, only worse. This is far from over though. Too many entrenched/monied interests have their livelihoods invested in the prohibition. It runs the entire spectrum from the legal/police state all the way to the drug cartels. All profit from it. You also have include those that desire to use the police power of government to force their moral views on people. The latter doesn’t profit from the prohibition, but it does seem to make them feel better about themselves.

Great our children have another legal way to get high. Even though they are minors they know the difference. “Gee mom and dad that bong you found in my room so what it’s legal now”.
