Step away from the pipe
I think you've smoked too much.
Please put the crack pipe down and step away from the keyboard.
Good Grief.........
SNIFF..............
How'd ya come up with that moniker?
I think the drug warriors will arrive shortly.
"taboo crap" you're not a conservative are you?
The words "feeble" and "attempt" are fitting. Missing word: "vanity".
Hey dude, just joined today, huh? Far-out, like wow.
Smoking pot is probably the least of your problems.
Ah, but for every action there is a reaction. Make pot legal and "just take the heck outta" it (sort of like with ciagrettes right now) and organized crime will leap in to the gap (sort of like with cigarettes right now).
Well, I happen to think it's a logical and good idea. But presenting in this forum the way you did, was not the way to do it.
Pot doesn't make you smart...obviously...
I am always puzzled why so many self proclaimed conservatives are so trigger happy to step on others when it comes to this issue. It is no worse then alcohol so why the bias? It seems to be a generational thing. I'm sure this will change over time with the ever tightening of budgets happen in every community across the country. The policy as it is today makes no sense. Personally I see it as destructive behavior to smoke pot but if someone wants to go to work all day and smoke a joint in their living room I find it hard to rationalize why I have the right to say they can't. The jails are filling up with these offenders and the tax payers burden grows. It is harder for children to get cigarettes then drugs these days so please tell me how this policy is working.
Tax it and send the monies back to the communities for education. Education is the only proven deterrent to this type of behavior.
I suspect posts such as this are actually made by people who are against drug legalization and want to talk about it again and again and again. Either that or these posts are made by people who enjoy the heck out of the usual pot jokes. But my favoite debates on this site are the ones where people suggest others aren't TRUE conservatives. Those are the best... and then the same folks get a chance to trash libertarians too! What fun, it won't be long before the usual characters raise their pot-sniffing heads to remind us all that drugs are wrong because they are illegal and illegal because they are wrong. Enjoy the debate warriors... it's almost as good as viagra and arrousing as a fine cigar.

They are taxing the hell outta cigarettes and alcohol. SS is still in trouble.
Your name fits.
The make-pot-legal-and-tax-it argument doesn't fly. All taxes are a dead weight loss, and it's bad policy to argue something should be legal to tax it. You can argue the lost productivity of people who go to prison because pot is illegal, you can argue the potential of jobs created if pot were legalized, you can argue the possibility that crime would be reduced, prison populations would decrease and the costs of running prisons would go down.
But you can't argue the legalize and tax it, because that's stupid.
Worse, you can't argue taxing anything to save social security, because saving social security is also stupid. Pay the folks who are 50 and older what they've been promised, then let the rest of us sink or swim.
Great 40 year old idea!
