Pot legalization effort moves eastward to Maine
FoxNews.com/AP ^ | 10/18/20163

Advocates of recreational marijuana use are looking to an upcoming vote in Maine as an indicator of whether the East Coast is ready to follow in the footsteps of Colorado and Washington by legalizing cannabis.

Voters in Portland are being asked whether they want to make it legal for adults 21 and over to possess -- but not purchase or sell -- up to 2.5 ounces of pot. The Nov. 5 vote is being eyed nationally as momentum grows in favor of legalizing marijuana use.

There are 2 issues I addressed not just the one that concerned you. Just because I don’t focus on the one does not mean I don’t care about it.

You support the continued involvement of fedgov in keeping pot illegal. That by definition violates 10A, whether you want to focus on it or not.

Answer me this: Where in the Constitution is fedgov delegated power to regulate intrastate marijuana?

This is my last response to you. If you don't agree with it, fine. I have moved on from this thread as of now. Here's a reply I posted earlier. Now you have a good day now.

Doesn’t matter where its legal, not all drug users are responsible. Some drug users are vicious, bottom feeding scum who the taxpayer funds them because they can’t take care of themselves and taxpayers fund govt agencies because the drug users impose their behavior on others. As long as taxpayers are subsidizing the bad consequences of pot legalization then I can’t support legalizing it. Take away taxpayer involvement and you’ll have my support.

there is an accident law firm pushing legal pot in fl most likely to boost their personal injury business. The more potheads driving the more money for lawyers.

anyone using “medicinal pot” should automatically not be allowed to have a driver’s license.

That sounds like an insinuation thrown in my direction. What say we not go there.

I didn’t say anything about FReepers or any particular individual. That is just where the “movement” wants to go.

1. If man weren't "fallen," it wouldn't be complicated. But hormones etc. blow temptation way out of proportion.
2. It takes maturity and the Holy Spirit (not in that order) to overcome.

1. Yes, they do.
2. Yes, it does.
