Denver DEA Rep: Don't Legalize It

So in all that time the legal status of pot was the only thing to change?

[tacticalogic]

You guys in the dope business

Would you please elaborate on exactly who "You guys" are and what "dope business" they're engaged in?

[tpaine]

You erroneously claim that 'substance abusers' actions are harming/threaten you, when in fact the threat/harm is the result of the 'war' that your prohibition caused.

Your claim: "---- I get to take action directly to make sure you cannot harm me or mine as a consequence. [of smoking dope] ---"; is unsupported by historical reality.

How did the [legal] dope smokers of the 19th century threaten or harm anyone?

Let's take this debate over to the setting provided by the Duke Rape Case where the AV is a self-admitted abuser of alcohol and muscle relaxants. She used both at the same time, had the expected hallucination, and now three guys are on hold awaiting trial for a rape they didn't commit.

Good grief.. --- Unable to refute historical reality, you want to claim that a psycho woman's drug abuse lead to rape charges. Ever occur that there are psychos everywhere making trouble regardless of drug abuse?

There's no way the rest of us can be protected from you people unless we have a "hold harmless" clause in the deal that allows us to stomp back.

Hmmmmm, - 'you people need stomping' -- speaking of disturbed people...

I'm simply pointing out your absurdity.

The only thing I consume is beer. I don't drive if I am having beer at home. Using your "logic", you could kill me for drinking because I "might" harm you. You're insane.

You did? Where did you do that?

There is no modern successful society that tolerates widespread recreational drug use. I suppose you could go to Amsterdam, but you've only got a few years until the Muslims take over.

Riiiight. And all those people who frequent bars or spend their evening in front of the TV with a six pack aren't engaged in recreational drug use.

[Moonman62]

Yes, but you know what I mean. It is nowhere near the widespread drug use that the Libertarians and drug users would like.

[tacticalogic]

I know what you mean, but that doesn't mean it's making any sense. Whether it's a good idea or not is for the people of Colorado to decide. The DEA has stuck it's nose in where it doesn't belong.

[microgood]

The real issue here is my right to self-protection against your interest in recreation that may be harmful to my interests and property.

Actually you are the one inflicting the pain based on a false claim of harm to your interests and property and a false claim that you need self-protection from something that does not affect you. Someone partaking of a substance in their home does not harm you in any way, yet you make a claim that it does.

Besides, the WODs has such a small impact on the drug trade it is not protecting your so called interests anyway. Even the DEA admits is stops less than 1% of the drugs flowing into this country and yet the cost to society is huge.

The Federal Government is killing 3,500 Mexicans and even more Columbians per year in this war (not to mention the 3,000,000 million Columbian refugees). That innocent blood being spilled is on the supporters of the WODs hands.

LOL!! Where did you learn the language? The DUmmie Dictionary?

[steve-b]

Are you denying God?

Newsflash: You ain't God, your delusions to the contrary notwithstanding.

[steve-b]

WAAAAA!!! The nasty state won't let me, muawiyah (aka God) steal and kill!!!!

[KeepUSfree]

ALL successful societies condone drug use. Just because "they are the drugs you like - alchohol, caffein, ibuprofin" - they are still drugs.

Another logic-less post. Screen name is appropriate.

[KeepUSfree]

Love your tag line...so tru, so true.

[Moonman62]

I don't expect what I say to make any sense to Libertarians or drug addicts except in the rarest cases. If what the DEA is doing is legal then Liberatarians shouldn't have a problem with it. If you think it's illegal, file a lawsuit.

[Moonman62]

Then what's the problem? Why do Libertarians and drug addicts keep spamming the internet?

[steve-b]

Well, then, you won't be disappointed when it doesn't.
