#Florida @GovRonDeSantis was asked about his position on legalizing #marijuana and he responded with this.

This is what we are up against...

mean’t take up cigarettes, not the other.

Some people like Durian some don’t.

I lived through Colorado’s pot experiment. It was a complete and utter failure on all levels for all concerns.

[CodeToad]

P.S. I was all for trying the experiment. 100% all in on legalizing to see who on was right about the results. I would say each side was 50% right, but the results have been far worse than imagined for the State of Colorado.

Its amazing how much like leftist authoritarians so many people on our side are.
If the average leftist doesn’t like something, he wants it banned for everyone.
You don’t smoke pot recreationally so nobody should be allowed too.
Amazing.

Why arent we a nation of total alcholics?
I mean your reasoning is ridiculous.

[Vermont Lt]

That is perhaps the dumbest thing I’ve heard a politician say.

[Vermont Lt]

So is beer. So is tobacco. More so than pot. Yet, I can walk down the street and buy that all day long.

It’s a weed that grows along dirt roads on this continent.

[Vermont Lt]

I would love to see that report. Because it would be a first of its kind.

Plus wise old pot users stopped smoking it ages ago.

You should find a doctor who actually reads studies.

[hawkaw]

I agree with him on the odor issue. It’s disgusting.

[Vermont Lt]

What is it? Because the stuff I have growing in my basement right now would qualify as organic under the strictest standards.

Do you just make this stuff up, or can you cite sources?

[Vermont Lt]

Amen.

[Vermont Lt]

That’s not because of pot legalization. It’s because you live in a shit hole where no one takes responsibility for anything. I would consider moving.

Here in Washington where grow operations are very large and almost everywhere, the skunk aroma is almost sickening near them.

Yes, the aroma absolutely is awful.

I pickup and deliver to these "pot factories" on a regular basis. I don't even have to CARRY the dope. Simply backing into their dock to move freight is enough to permeate my entire trailer with the skunk smell for the rest of the day.

Once I left one of these places and headed to my next delivery at the Dept of Energy. Guards about fell over barfing. And this was due to just being around it!

Whaaa whaaaa whaaaa.
Pot is natural, man-made chemical filled pills are not.
Pills are chemicals, you have no idea what’s in them, they are
manufactured by the same big pharma that makes the mrna vaxes which is busy culling the herd, so to speak, with
their poison.
So you just keep taking your chemical laden man-made pills.
I and millions of other true freedom lovers, will keep
smoking pot its natural and far less dangerous than man-made chemicals.
But I believe in freedom, I cant stand the idea of injesting
man-made chemicals or taking shots, but I don’t think others
should be banned from doing it so keep doing what your doing
if it works for you.

Having worked in a detox facility, the number of kids who started by drinking their parents vodka far outweighs the ones who started getting stoned.

Addiction is a function of receptors in your brain. Millions of people can drink every day and not get addicted. But if your brain is wired that way…one drink will do it.

Before you write stuff that has no basis in the real world, you really should spend five minutes doing some basic research. It’s not as sexy as your 1930s thinking…but it will keep you from writing stupid stuff on the internet.

[Vermont Lt]

So your friend was THE guy to smoke dope and go bonkers.

Too much THC and you go to sleep. He was smoking meth. They just told you it was pot.

[Vermont Lt]

Well, my hip hurts. I guess I should pray for it to stop. And when I get to heaven, God will say, “What the hell? I put that stuff everywhere and you chose not to use it?”

[Vermont Lt]

That dude was high on crap long, long before it was legalized.

[Vermont Lt]

Traffic incidents on pot are not high speed murders like the drunks. The traffic accidents from stoners are bad parking, slow driving, and bad depth perception. I don’t suggest anyone drive under the influence…but your arguments are stereotypes from the 1950’s Christian Crusaders. Come into the 21st Century.
