Apparently you missed the Colorado recall votes. Colorado likes their guns, their pot, and they want you to mind your own business.
The anti-pot crowd reminds me of the anti-Zimmerman crowd. A bunch of hyperbole, wrapped in emotion, with little regard for facts, reality, or substance. It’s like being in a room full of leftists rallying against the 2nd amendment. Avoid the facts, avoid statistics, use emotion. If you cant argue with facts and logic, then you are WRONG. I would expect a good freedom loving Conservative to understand that.
Society is paying a high price for the War on Some Drugs. Adverse Drug Reactions are the 4th leading cause of death in this country. We want to hold drug dealers and bartenders accountable but who is holding the drug companies feet to the fire? Our system continues to ruin lives, fill our prisons, and bankrupt ourselves fighting a battle that has never achieved a single success outside of making the police state flourish. Things are not better because of the War on Drugs. Addiction is worse now, with more people addicted to legal drugs including anti-depressants and pain meds.
I thought Republicans and Conservatives were against the nanny state, or is the party simply full of hypocrites? I guess you love freedom until you dont.
Yeah, Colorado is now a ‘pot’ state, thanks to years of liberal dopehead filth from the East and West Coasts moving there. Now, according to this headline, the peddlers are trying to export their degeneracy. If they come to my state, I hope they get ten years of hard labor, building levee roads out in the swamps.
And who says I’m a big proponent of a “federal” war on drugs? A more preferable war on drugs would involve local vigilance committees who shoot the dope-peddling bastards on sight.
Projection. The facts are not in your favor. Everyone I know who does drugs sucks and either can’t figure out how to vote or votes stupidly.
The war on drugs and complete legalization of all drugs are two separate issues.
Let’s start this conversation again when the welfare state is dismantled.
Let’s see if those guys are recalled before you assume Colorado are staunch libertarians. I lived in Denver for 4 years and it’s a cesspool of low info voters and hardcore libs.
“I thought Republicans and Conservatives were against the nanny state, or is the party simply full of hypocrites? I guess you love freedom until you dont”
We are for liberty and against the nanny state. Legalizing pot while leaving the nanny state intact is stupid. Thinking that legalizing pot will somehow usher in universal emancipation from big government requires huge leaps in logic. My brain, fully fixed on reality, isn’t agile enough to make those leaps.
