During her hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) asked, Do you support the legalization of marijuana?
Senator, I do not, Lynch replied.
In addition to lovingly supporting the White House Commie opening up the border so we can be further invaded by the world's poor and unknown, she is also on the wrong side of public desire to decriminalize marijuana...
She is a liar.
She is just saying what she thinks Republicans want to hear.
Once she is in, every bit of her testimony goes into the trash and the MSM will never point it out.
They should shoot her down as a matter of principal. We obviously do not nee a AG, we have been without one for 6 years now.
“The U.S. government should reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug so that scientists can conduct more research...”
They cannot do that without violating drug control treaties that we are signatories to. Of course, it was us who strongarmed the rest of the world into entering those treaties, but regardless, they have the force of law now until we withdraw from them.
Suure. And I’m the Pope’s daughter. She probably smokes pot all the time.
420 Magazine, I totally forgot and let my subscription run out!
Maybe she knows that most young black men would smoke reefer all day if they could.
The greatest fear Liberals have is that there will be too many people on this planet. Smoking marijuana reduces the sex drive. The Liberals love pot.
You for the whole lot staystoned?
Damn not some “evil weed” prude, have inhaled more than many, but how long do you think this country will stay free once Tokin a J is no longer a problem?
Wrong question. They should have asked if she thinks the States have the authority to legalize it.
Do you know this from first hand experience? I would highly disagree with your statement. In fact, I would conclude it can have the exact opposite effect.
“According to the New England Journal of Medicine, 76 percent of doctors would prescribe marijuana to their patients. More”
Awwww horshite. You couldn’t get 76% of docs to approve a cure for cancer.
I am not disputing your comment StayFree just the survey by NEJOM
Why not go after opioids, benzodiazepines and alcohol instead? They are far more immoral, if morality can be assigned to a substance.
Those drugs kill people EVERY HOUR OF EVERY DAY IN EVERY STATE OF THE UNION.
And, they are common and legal.
Oh, did I mention physically addictive? It's not uncommon for people to DIE while quitting any of the 3, from withdraw effects alone.
Interestingly, Pot could supplant some of the use of those 3 without the deadly, addictive side effects.
When? How many decades does that take for crying out loud!
The Feds shouldn’t be in the business of drug regulation. This should be left up to the states.
If the Feds went out of the drug business, we wouldn’t need the DEA, and we could also reduce CIA, ATF, FBI drug realted activity. That would mean no more cocaine and opium drug imports by the DEA. No more DEA support of Mexican drug cartels.
Sure, we would have abuses in the states, but people would vote with their feet, and states with the best policies would benefit. We could also create different laws to suit the needs for people with different views on drug use.
When in doubt, keep the criminal Feds out of it.
Pretty good post.........
