There are things you expect to see at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) and there are things you don't. One of the things you probably don't is an audience cheering and applauding arguments for legalizing pot and bemoaning the war on drugs.
A panel titled "Rocky Mountain High" held Thursday afternoon started out as a debate between Mary Katherine Ham of Fox and Hot Air and Christopher Beach a staffer for former Drug Czar William Bennett's radio show. But as the debate wore on it became clear the real disagreement was between Beach and the overwhelming majority of the audience.
The Q&A portion of the panel lasted well over an hour. Person after person stood up to challenge Beach's position on the war on drugs or the dangers of pot. Toward the end of the 100 minutes it had become a kind of joke. After one tough question by someone who clearly favored legalization, Beach turned to Ham and said "I guess that one's for me."

No one has a right to take drugs and be loose in public!
Who said anything about a right to take drugs and be loose in public
?
I was talking about how the War on Drugs has degraded the Bill of Rights… to which you posted advocacy of instant execution
, which is contrary to the 5th Amendment.
Will they hate “big weed” like they hate “big tobacco”?
No better than a horse thief, hung on the spot!!

It is not called ‘pot’ for no reason. Bunch of dummies stuck on stupid.
I agree!
Yes. Even they though probably smoke cigs too and wear brand name sneakers and drink Starbucks and have I-phones, corporations are E-VUL. E-VUL.
really? just because people are sick of the drug war that works real well for prison unions? Booze prohibtion worked out real well for the mafia and criminals too...
DO NOT TRUST RAND PAUL!!!
Yep!!!
I am an extreme, fanatical social conservative on issues such as queer civil bonding, pro-life, porn and depravity of all kinds. Even am too conservative for most all parishes of my church (Catholic).
But on pot I am neutral or slightly in favor (but definitely not in favor of chronic use, as with alcohol). I am in Washington State.
I get the idea most people here who are strongly opposed are a little older than me (59).
All:
The obvious problem across the U.S.A. is exhibited in this thread. You see it in locally high places in local levels of bipartisan government, business and academia—all socialist now and involved in a feeding frenzy of unexpected hosilities and robberies.
The increase in criminal/anti-social behaviors exhibited by many in public service and business positions is caused by the continuing increase in immorality including “recreational” drug abuse and associated behaviors.
Morons, there can be no worse thing to destroy our people.
IMO make it restricted to only people with real major illnesses by a doctor prescription that mush be reviewed.
legalizing this crap will drain our nation.
I do not know if a narcissist is born that way but the pot heads sure become narcissistic. They are getting outside help and not the good kind.
I didn't express my opinion of the Drug War.
I just said I wouldn't support legalization of dope and some other things I believe would be harmful to society.
Do you also think that heroin, cocaine, rape and pedophilia have been made illegal just to provide busywork for the prison unions?
I’m 58 and strongly opposed. Texas.
Lung cancer, throat cancer, oral cancer.....all topics carefully avoided on these threads I note.
The subject was pot...so quit changing it. The drug wars have a lot to do with illegal pot farms all over and fight pot dealers nd such.
