A heavy equipment operator with a lengthy rap sheet who is accused of being high on marijuana when a downtown building collapsed onto a thrift store, killing six people, surrendered Saturday to face charges in the deaths, police said.http://www.cbsnews.com/news/sean-benschop-equipment-operator-in-philadelphia-building-collapse-probe-surrenders/
Strangely enough, Mr. President, when the news came out about this tragedy, it wasn't mentioned whether he were smoking a cigarette.
Aren’t they banning e-cigarettes only because they confuse the cigarette nazis?
LOL this is a joke right ??
Obviously, the more logical comparison would be to ask if he was drunk.
There's your problem right there (and his photo). Using that as an excuse to ban marijuana bears logical similarity to banning guns for the law abiding because criminals misuse them.
I thought is was horrific when Clinton via the Lewinsky scandal introduced and condoned oral sex, a form of sodomy, to our youth, but now we have Obama encouraging the youth to break laws and smoke pot.
Furthermore, he gives them the false impression that pot is as harmless as alcohol.
He will destroy many teen lives, just like Clinton.
The Pot has affected his pea size brain.
I live in the UP of Michigan medical marijuana is taking over the area. You go outside now and the distinctive odor of what is similar to a dead skunk is the preponderant odor. I cleaned off my roof of snow and nearly fell out of my wheelchair because of the odor was captured in the snow. Just found I have 7 neighbors whom use medical marijuana.
What a stench!
2ndDivisionVet: Hillary Clinton and Chris Christie ‘not very different’ from Barack Obama.
LOL, you don’t want to go there. Statistics for marijuana show it to be so far safer than alcohol or guns or even aspirin, that you’d be laughed out of the discussion.
But I will tell you where you can argue against marijuana - its effects on the brain development of children. Up to a certain point (late teens, I believe) it has a marked and measurable negative effect on all sorts of mental abilities, with associated negative emotional effects, from apathy to panic attacks.
After the brain reaches physical maturity, those negative effects drop off dramatically. But for kids and teens, marijuana is bad news.
On the other hand, for kids and teens, alcohol is bad news too - equally if not worse.
So there are deeper issues here than yes/no.
Obvious follow up questions:
When did you stop smoking marijuana?
At what age was the last time you smoked it?
That guy looks a bit like an older Jimi Hendrix .. had he not died of an overdose and suffocating on his own vomit. Ah drugs .. what a glorious life.
Who is he kidding?
Pot smoking = OK.
Eating potatoes in school = Not OK.
Obama can be a poster child for why it is called “DOPE”.
I thought it was an addictive gate-way drug? That’s what they’ve been telling us for the last 50 years isn’t it?
DO TELL! Ok- lets go with that( it’s a lie, but what the hell). Pot is no different than tobacco- and we know tobacco is BAD for you, and we will prevent you from smoking it in public, in the open, in your home! We want what’s best for you so you will be taxed and hounded if you dare smoke tobacco....OR POT! Isn’t that how it’s going to work- or does the government only care about the health of tobacco smokers? Do they want pot smokers to DIE???
That’s no different than an alcoholic drinking while at work. Same crime, Same shame.
Responsible people just aren’t going to get high before or at work. Just like responsible people don’t get drunk or drink while at work.
Think about this ... It’s just like responsible people not running out and amassing personal armories and then going out and killing a bunch of school kids.
“Dr.Obama” is now obviously trying to position himself as the next head of the FDA
Shut up, your stupidity is showing!
