One of those “baby steps” that the GOP could move on is medical marijuana.

Only if they want to continue deceiving people. "Medical" marijuana was never about sick people. It was never about helping people. It was never about compassion. It was all about making pot socially acceptable to pave the way for it's legalization everywhere. It was all about removing the social stigma of getting stoned. Anyone who advocates "medical" marijuana is either knowingly or unknowingly carrying the water of hardcore leftists who want to destroy America.

I’ll go you one better: I advocate total legalization.

I am not now, nor have I ever been a leftist. I am a decorated and disabled vet, honorably discharged. I place my very first vote for Ronald Reagan in the 1976 CA primary over Ford. I have voted Republican in every 2 year election since. I have contributed MONEY and TIME to the Conservative cause and have done so for over 40 years.

And I advocate for the total legalization of pot.

In your entire post replace the words ‘pot/mj’ with the words ‘alcohol/booze’; then replace ‘stoned’ with ‘drunk’, and tell me why alcohol is ok, but pot is not.

And fwiw, I seldom drink, and have no interest is smoking anything.

As a medical marijuana patient in Florida who no longer suffers from chronic depression & horrible anxiety because I use cannabis as medicine I disagree 100%.

I abhor leftism. I abhor the nanny-state. I am thankful to God in Heaven that President Trump is in the WH vs Cankles. I am the proud parent of a Air Force vet. I love America, the Constitution with Liberty & Freedom for all.

I am also thankful to God in Heaven for cannabis as it’s allowed me to be happy after decades of sorrow, depression & crushing anxiety.

Everything legal has no social stigma?

Legal alcohol hasn't destroyed America - legalizing the less addictive drug marijuana won't either.
