Hailey voters again pass marijuana initiatives

Ok, then by your definition, they are a criminal enterprise and should not allowed to grow dope and sell drugs. Glad we agree.

That's not my definition - it's yours, I think. It's hard to tell. All there seems to be to the argument is a lot of emotional railing about "dope".

You’re the one lecturing about “THE LAW”. Is it about the law, or is it about the dope? If it’s really about the law it shouldn’t matter if it’s dope or guns, “criminal enterprises” or average citizen - they’re all subject “THE LAW” equally, whether you agree with “THE LAW” or not.

I'm sorry the whole point of my original post is a reality that is very hard for you to accept. Evidently you wish that there were no laws against growing and selling dope and that the result would be one big utopia.

Here in the real world it hasn't worked out that way. Shocking, I know. Who knew that letting people grow and sell dope to their heart's content would be a problem? The liberals promised us what a "progressive" and wonderful thing it would be. Evidently, you want to align yourself with them. Go right ahead, but that doesn't alter or change REALITY. No matter how many bong hits you take. REALITY is that it has been a disaster for one of the most liberal counties, if not the most liberal county in the country. Ever heard of "Code Pink"? They are from this county. The REALITY of greatly relaxed pot laws is as I have already described, and now even the liberal politicians have had get behind the current measure because of the public outcry.

Now then, you can talk about "THE LAW", state laws, federal laws, etc. all you want as to try to divert attention from REALITY.

My original point still stands. It's been a disaster in this part of California and if the citizens of this town in Idaho do the same, they are asking for trouble.

Unless you have something new or interesting say, which hasn't happened yet, and can talk about my actual post and not what you want it to be, I think this conversation is about over.

Your "original post" amounts to a claiming that because a change in marijuana laws in one place was repealed, a different law in another place should not be passed - with out any attempt to compare the two. Whatever political philosophy it is your're peddling if you have to sell it on those terms, I'm pretty sure I'm better off without it.

We are indeed finished.

Not so fast, my friend. Here's part of what I wrote: "A few years ago in California's Mendocino County, Measure "G" was passed which actually celebrated pot use, increased the number of plants that could be grown by individuals, and (as this Idaho initiative does) made enforcing pot laws the lowest LEO priority, right under jaw walking."

That is a direct comparison. That was the whole point of the post, that the people of this Idaho community were trying to enact similar legislation that a very liberal county in California is now trying to overturn because the liberal dope laws have been a disaster.

Either you have intentionally ignored the contents of my post (repeatedly) on purpose because you just can not bring yourself to face reality, OR you have fried so many of your brain cells that you are no longer capable of basic reading comprehension.

Good day.
