Per Fox News:
The Supreme Court has ruled Medical Marijuana as illegal.
I can kill my unborn and say its my body my choice, but i cant toke up. What a F'd up society we have created!
NO I said your statement is juvenile and the hypocrisy with the government and the Pharmecutical Industry is dreadful...You can let the government dictate your entire life by telling you what's right or wrong, but as long as American Citizens are not harming others or engaging in criminal behaviour this leagl issue on Marijuana is a joke when it comes to the Federal Government.
That's no lie..Freaking hypocrite Judges!
You're a very smart man.
You mean like, laws passed by the state legislatures limiting abortion, or laws passed by the state legislatures outlawing sodomy? Those laws?
Oh, no, they don't count?
In other words....
Laws are made to be broken.
If it's between life and death it sure is!
No.
He's in a lot of pain. Obviously, once he chooses to do something about the pain, his choices include any number of painkillers. One of those is pot; another one (according to his post) is suicide.
It seems to me he was saying if the pain was bad enough, he would choose suicide before he'd try pot.
You and the rest of the "I am not voting Republican again" crowd will NEVER convince me you were lifelong Republicans and I believe I speak for a lot of folks on here.
You and the rest can go stuff it for all I care because chances of you all working at the grassroots for candidates would be slim to none. It is very easy to post on a website how you were a lifelong Republican when no one knows who you are.
Anyone getting this riled up over this pot issue IMHO is one of two things -- a RAT or 3rd party stirring the pot on here or a pot smoker -- neither qualifies as a lifelong Republican.
I am against the use of pot for anything. Someone on pot ran through a stop sign and hit my car and caused me to have a shoulder injury and then the spaced out guy told the cop to test him for alochol because he hadn't been drinking. Smartass ended up on drug charges -- lighted pot cigarette in his ashtray. Guy couldn't put two coherent sentences together BTW. I am against drinking and driving and I am against pot smoking period. And don't give me the crap about cancer patients or that it is not addictive. Not buying any of it!
And alleged conservatives will come in and applaud this ruling because they are against pot use. They couldn't care a whit that the ruling is based on one of the most expansionist Supreme Court rulings of all time.
I'm a conservative, and I'm against the use of marijuana, but I hold that it is a state's rights issue, that the commerce clause does not cover this issue. Finally, given the absolute uselessness of laws against marijuana, I side with Milton Freedman and urge legalization, taxation, and state regulation ala alcoholic beverages.
Well, I guess that means I don't belong here. The sooner I get banned, the better.
I take it you've never heard of "Peter McWilliams, author of Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do, [who] died vomiting in his bathtub [in 2000] because a California judge with a withered soul ruled he couldn't use marijuana to keep down his chemotherapy drugs while out on bail on charges of possessing medical marijuana."
Suppose he'd been spaced out on benadryl instead? Would you compel all of us to suffer stuffed sinuses and runny noses under threat of imprisonment?
Here's an interesting proposition: Say the feds start getting warrants for the homes of everyone who holds a medical marijuana ID/users card. Do you think we might just see a softening of the libs position on gun registration? If the government knows you have it, they can come and take it away.
There's nothing right-wing about this decision.
