Loretta Lynch Opposes the Legalization of Marijuana-Just Another Disqualifying Point
Stayfree | January 29, 2015 | Self(vanity)

Posted on 01/29/2015 2:40:34 PM PST by Stayfree

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...

You are correct.
The real reason for continued criminalization of marijuana is that the government wouldn’t be able to seize all those vehicles and property without the so called war on drugs.
The idea that marijuna is so dangerous and/ or addictive that it cannot be safely taken even under the supervision of a doctor (thus a Schedule 1 Drug) is laughable.
Oh wait I forgot, it’s a gateway drug to. . . um, more dangerous drugs like cocaine which is not too dangerous to be prescribed.
Is that confusing to anyone else?

Legalization would destroy the economy in the hood.

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?

Yeah, right. We're so much freer now than we would have been without marijuana prohibition...

Sometimes tokin, like drinking is no problem, but if too many start staying stoned their critical thinking skills are ZERO.

Once its wide open like Colorado, a lot more will spend more and more of their days dazed.

The progressives will be happy because then they will be less-opposed in their throwing out the Constitution. What worse is the liberals are backed by nice folks like Soros, Putin and the muslims.

If you think you can operate rationally while smoking, you my FRiend are an idiot.

Opium dens wrecked China and were promoted by outside forces, the Brits.

If you do not know history, you are destined to repeat it.

Since you support the Constitution, shouldn't intrastate marijuana regulation be up to the states rather than fedgov per the Tenth Amendment?

" Seems the especially heinous murders and such are often committed by pot smokers"

Only stupid people believe Pot was the cause of the murder you mention.

Oh, and people with an agenda they wish to sell to stupid people. Those people would be correctly characterized as liars, deceivers and con men.

Did I say pot was the CAUSE of murder? No. I am merely pointing out that POT USE WARPS MINDS and my brief review of some of the most heinous criminal acts often involves pot smokers. Prove me WRONG.

What about common sense seems to be so foreign to you?

We are a Representative Republic, not some anything goes Libertarian State you seem to want. You might try Denmark.

" Prove me WRONG"

That's easy.

Mengele, the Hussein Brothers and the Green River Killer were all adamantly opposed to drugs of any kind, including pot.

Does that put you in the same group as them? Does it also mean that those who are adamant anti-Marijuana advocates are also into the pleasure of human dismemberment?

Thus is the strength of your associations.

Nice dodge. So do you support the Tenth Amendment or not?

I very well could be wrong and if so I’ll accept that. But a THOROUGH statistical study would be necessary, not just citing a few exceptions here and there.

I completely agree.

However, since it's a schedule 1 drug, that's extremely difficult to do legally.

Unluckily for your increasingly feeble argument, this is not a Tenth Amendment issue.

A partial reason we now find out dear America in such a unsafe and agitated situation is due to progressives, as well as libertarians, trying to bend the Constitution’s common sense principals protecting the “common good” to allow a free-for-all, if it feels good do it, 100% personal freedom islands, unconcerned with the common good and common protection.

When the JBTs come beating on your door, you’ll damn sure want someone un-stoned, standing there guarding your life and liberty.

Yes it is. The expansive Commerce Clause (see Wickard) is what has allowed fedgov to control health care, education, the environment and intrastate marijuana regulation. You are defending the means by which fedgov has virtually become all-powerful at the expense of the states. You should educate yourself a little more on the Constitution.

Clarence Thomas would be a good place to begin =>

Respondents Diane Monson and Angel Raich use marijuana that has never been bought or sold, that has never crossed state lines, and that has had no demonstrable effect on the national market for marijuana. If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause, then it can regulate virtually anything–and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers.

Justice Thomas, dissenting in Raich.
