My thought is certain recreational drugs, such as marijuana, should remain off legal limits for the under 18 year olds, but become legally available when used in the proper environment. In many ways, pot is quite similar to alcohol, in that they should be used responsibly. My thought is to make the sale of marijuana less profitable by making it legal for home use. Personally, I don't smoke anything now, and do not want the smell of tobacco or pot on my clothes should I visit a public place, such as a shopping mall or bus stop. I know this idea has been kicked around for years, and hasn't really gained traction. My concern is, even if pot was declared legal and open for adult use, how would those newly arrived Mexcian gangs deal with this market loss? Would they end up trying to raid, ruin and close down any public seller of these formerly illegal substances? I think for the first few years, there may be such push back and attempts at intimidation by those losing business to the open market. Its' not really my fight anymore, but, so many cities say they are inching toward bankruptcy, this new open market may help to boost city funds. Yes, it would be a bold step in the cold, deep waters of chance. But it may work. We go rid of prohibition of alcohol, and the country survived the gang's angry wrath back then too.
I have my own fan club - sweet!Your arrogance will be your downfall.
Oh. MustSayYesToDrugs you are ZOTTED! LMAO!!
When you get back to DU you big Trolling Dope, tell them manc and Berlin_Freeper sent you. ;D
Finally! Jim and the mods are truly the most patient people I know. (After all - they put up with me)
But finally they must have had enough of Just Say No’s constant and daily barrage of pro-dope replies.
Time to clean house! :)
Ya did a grand job of it!
I’m a humble reporter of the ZOTs.
I don’t do much house cleaning around here, LOL!
In fact, I do none. ;-)
Time for the Shoot yet? Are we there yet? Are we?
Ahhh, Ursula. Love the helmet!
LOL! It can’t get here soon enough for THIS gal...and I think I’m in good company!
I’d start packing if I thought it’d help get it here sooner! LOL!
Very nice graphic, BF! And I won’t even steal it... without warning you. [giggles]
Thanks again to both you men for the heads up.
LOL! Me too.
Thanks for the ping, TOL.
A most righteous Zot, justsayno was constantly trolling for drugs.
I guess we can assume Fresno is not big on drug legalization..lol
The best summation of the subject I’ve ever seen.
Thanks, found it on the internet and altered it.
The graphic now solely belongs to you dear sweet TOL. :)
I am not aware of that poster having liberal views before although he/she is not really someone I followed .
I for one do not support drug legalization but I do have some issues with the drug war but nor do i think that a viewpoint that Buckley and Milton Friedman held should be banning worthy here especially in these days were it feels like we are outnumbered and the forum has less volume of enthusiasm than 10 years ago and when i don't recall.
And I notice this was a group effort ..a sport to draw a lightning bolt...pack behavior and now we have the community high five...for what..zotting a 6 year vet you disagreed with over drug laws.
I have rarely cared much for that here and was myself once a victim of it by several freepers once prominent and now long gone since The Exodus
Unless there is more to this than simply arguing about drug laws this looks ugly and is no help to the larger battle of defeating socialism and eventually collapse..conservatives and libertarians can fight out legalizing pot later
JR's disclaimer does not specifically address this(unless I missed it), perhaps if this is policy then someone should post that drug legalization proponents will not be tolerated...hence fair warning
You’ve been busy.
You are completely wrong in your quick assessment of the well done ZOT, wardaddy.
JustSayNoToNannies was an abusive Troll Thug and the people you are complaining to, know that to be true.
In the past weeks JustSayNoToNannies was warned by Admin Moderator to stop breaking a specific forum rule in two separate threads. Also, I saw Admin Moderator recently warn JustSayNoToNannies to change his Profile Page because it was abusive to another Freeper. The final straw looks to be his weird abuse of manc in post #136 of this thread.
These are just abuses I have seen with my own eyes, there are probably lots more that helped him earn his well deserved ZOT.
Are y’all coming to Ft Worth first? Gotta get the party started early....right? :)
