I'm an old geezer conservative, don't use drugs or pot and won't, but I've always been for the legalization of at least pot.
Maybe the old hippies and liberals will be so stoned they won't get out to vote if pot was legal?
As a conservative, I'm sick and tired of my hard earned money going down a rat hole to investigate, prosecute and jail potheads.
When I was in the USAF in the early '70s there were a large number of potheads, you could get high just walking through the stenching haze in the dorm hallways.
I NEVER saw ANY of those people causing a problem, in fact it mellowed out some who were problem people on alcohol.
A few rare people are supposed to flip out and become paranoid from what I've read. I've never known of one personally yet, so wonder if this is propaganda? The supposed "reefer madness". One argument against it is that pot is supposedly a "gateway drug". Once it's legal, it won't be so much as you'll be buying it at the state booze store rather from someone who may want to sell you something else.
You'll never meet that person.
This should very much be a republican issue. It's about smaller government and freedom.

You may some day get your wish. I hope not, but as the Republicans move further left, they may indeed some day put leftist issues like support for drugs, abortion and gay marriages on the table.
If you think the GOP is irrelevant now, just wait till this happens!
Once they get it legal they will start pushing for people to be allowed to smoke pot in public places and in college dorms where it will still be against the law.
Then they will want cocaine and other things made legal because the “War on Drugs” doesn’t go away with pot legalization. Does it?
Then Medicare will be paying for it and EBT cards will be buying it. Do you think tax dollars should do that?
Oh and of course libertarians really do want to abolish the age of consent.
Who are you to question Resposibility2nd? He has declared the subject closed and you stupid. Bow to your betters and Stfu.
