And force them to use it? Even educated experienced legitimate businessmen haven't figured out how to create demand through force of will - there's no reason to expect the cartels to have any better success.
“There’s got to be a reason why the drug has been illegal for so long. “
Actually cannabis was legal for thousands of years & was used medicinally (and recreationally I’m sure) in the USA prior to the early 1900’s. Since the federal gov’t has unconstitutionally prevented real research from being done in our country there is no real scientific reason Fedzilla can point to as the reason cannabis is a schedule 1 drug.
Pothead nation.
Morning, Marvin. Hope you’re well and smiling.
I bet it’s very frustrating for you to see voters legalizing medical cannabis & recreational cannabis programs across the country.
That said, I don’t think your current method of communicating is bringing anyone to your side of the issue.
Prohibition makes criminals & lawyers rich. Don’t support making criminals and lawyers rich, Marvin. Supporting prohibition isn’t a conservative position, Marvin.
Have a great weekend, Marvin :)
I beg your pardon
Trump can tell the DOJ to stand down on any and all marijuana enforcement which would in effect de facto legalize it despite congress
Sessions would step down no question
You posted that to me why?
Read the federal Controlled Substances Act.
The pot is”medicine” garbage is a SAoros operation-—
working in tandem with non president Obama and non Attorney General Holder.
That is the problem, people think if the President just does not enforce a law, it becomes the law.
Why are you supporting drug cartels? Haven’t they caused enough harm to US residents?
“Read the federal Controlled Substances Act.”
I’ve read it, Marvin. I remember Nixon going against the recommendation of the committee More & more voters disagree with the CSA. Voters come out in ever increasing numbers to vote against cannabis prohibition & for the freedom to use what medicine THEY want to use.
Are you against personal liberty, Marvin? Are you against voters choosing to legalize medical/recreational cannabis, Marvin? If you are, those aren’t conservative positions to be taking, IMO.

““Of course cannabis has medical uses,” says University of California, San Francisco integrative oncologist Donald Abrams, one of the few researchers who have been able to obtain extremely limited, government-approved supplies of research cannabis for human trials. “It’s pretty clear from anthropological and archaeological evidence that cannabis has been used as a medicine for thousands of years—and it was a medicine in the U.S. until 1942,” Abrams adds. “I’m an oncologist and I say all the time, not a day goes by when I’m not recommending cannabis to patients for nausea, loss of appetite, pains, insomnia and depression—it works.”
Are you a doctor, Marvin?
“The Shafer Commission found in 1972 that cannabis was as safe as alcohol, and recommended ending prohibition in favor of a public health approach.”
Happy reading, Marvin :)
A friend over the border in Siskyou county in CA told me that once it was clear that CA would legalize growing recreational mj, huge tracts of land were bought by MX cartels, Bulgarian and Russian mafia.
Legalization does nothing to stop illegal growing. In OR it was legalized last year and the county I live in is a huge mj growing place, already was big. Now there are illegal grows all over, very few are permitted and licensed, and no on in the county or state gov give a s***. Crime has skyrocketed.
Gimmeee,gimmeee,gimmeee,I want,I want....
You'd prefer that the money go to drug cartels?
Why are you supporting drug cartels?
I'm trying to take money out of their hands; why are YOU supporting drug cartels by maintaining their monopoly on the marijuana market?
Read the Constitution - particularly the Tenth Amendment and Article I Section 8. The feds have no legitimate authority to interfere in intrastate marijuana policy.
The pot is”medicine” garbage is a SAoros operation
The National Academy for Science's Institute of Medicine has noted dozens if not hundreds of scientific studies that show medical benefits of marijuana's components.
Pot, heroin, etc. are to the globalists what vodka was to the USSR ruling elite.
“Crime has skyrocketed.”
Statewide, between 2013, the year before the legalization vote, and 2016, property crimes dropped and crimes against persons rose by 5% per year - well short of a “skyrocket.” Did you mean only in your county?

Agreed...it can be very bad news.
You are welcome, Very Well Said Stickman. :)
“Gimmeee,gimmeee,gimmeee,I want,I want....”
Nope. I wouldn’t smoke it if it were legal. Now, if a pill helped my arthritis....maybe.
I have no desire to be ‘high’. Can’t imagine ever smoking it.
For some, the cannabis OIL has been shown to have real pain relieving and healing properties without the harmful side effects of some Big Pharma drugs.....without the high. This oil should definitely be legalized, and without any further delay.
