Those remarks follow comments issued last summer by Rep. Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts), who introduced H.R. 5843 -- an act to remove federal penalties for the use of marijuana by "responsible adults." ...

Barney the pervert delivers for the forces of evil once again.

What a disgustingly corrupt administration will be ruling our lives and putting the finishing touches on ruining our economy!

A plant is a force of evil? A better example of a force of evil would be that of a government pretending to wage war against drugs when it really is using said war to add to its own power over its citizens. The militarization of police forces, no-knock raids, property seizure, etc. is not something that should be done to a supposedly free people.

I’m all for the decriminalization of marijuana. And no, I’ve never tried it.

Once again, its people 0 can throw under the bus making those statements. If people go for it, he can claim it. If they don’t, he never said it.
We won’t hear 0 make any substantial remarks until he declares his dictatorship and he will probably focus group that too, just to be sure.

I suspect that Zero will eventually decriminalize meth and crack. Once pot is old hat, people will want new toys. And Zero knows all about it.

I love a good legalize pot thread! Good arguments by all. My personal opinion is that what you do at home is your business. I will also say I know people that would rather work at a low pay, unskilled job then go pee in a bottle to get a job that pays twice as much......such as the oilfield industry. This creates many job op’s for me......have CDL, can pass drug test, will travel. I’ll have fries with that please....

If marijuana represents such a threat ,and the enforcement against it is to continue to be such a vast expense for society to bear , then it must follow that we need to re-visit the total banning of all alcoholic beverages and spirits .
We need to outlaw and ban killer tobacco too. Both of these substances have a long and indisputable record of bringing death and major health crisis to their helplessly addicted users . The fact that consenting adults freely choose to use them should be overridden by laws maintaining the public order and safety . Build more prisons now !

Continue to allow drug testing and exclude users from all responsible and high paying jobs and professional educational opportunities. This can be done at the state level.

PUT A HUGE TAX ON IT. I’ve always wanted to put a huge tax on dopers. They’re mainly liberals anyway. If they like taxes so much, let THEM pay them.

According to CNN, the liberal lawmaker "doesn't think it's the government's business to tell you how to spend your leisure time."

Unless, of course, you want to listen to conservative talk radio, go shooting on the weekends, have a cigar, eat fatty foods, or a whole host of other things the government decides you can't decide to do on your own.

If it really helps “pro-pot voters” to forget to vote during each future election, then I’m for it.

Personally, I will be glad to see the demise of the dead raccoon under the front porch of the federal marijuana laws. Too dang expensive, too dang punitive, and not just unconstitutional, but erosive to the rest of our legal system.

Let’s be done with it.

the president-elect will give strong consideration to decriminalizing marijuana by the end of his tenure in office.

Bout time

Didn’t the US sign some treaty that addressed this? But O don’t follow no stinking treaties. Legalize “blow” too dufus.

I guess I’m one of those who hopes he does. I’ll never use it, but I sure hate having so much money spent trying to stop something that can’t be stopped.

Some of PEBO’s jobs may be growing, transporting, and selling pot.

I hadn’t thought of that!!

I’ll support it. Cannabis should have never been criminalized.

Since I like a little variety, I’ll sit down with this tub of popcorn and peruse the replys.
