Yeah, ‘vaunted’ would be my choice. They just don’t make editors like they used to.

Apparently you were not listening to the part where he said we should look at Colorado to see how it has been working out for them. We live in Washington where legalization by any serious measure has been an unmitigated disaster. It had been completely ignored by law enforcement for years prior, but you would not believe the sky rocketing homeless issues around dispensaries, and you can't drive down the street without the smell of marijuana from drivers in front of you coming through your vents even when the AC is set to recirculate. It is absolutely unbelievable!!!

Yours is an interesting post. Some years ago, the Supreme Court held that checking “yes” on the 4473, was tantamount to a violation of the right against self-incrimination, and therefore unconstitutional.
It will be interesting to see where this goes.

Alcohol and tobacco have bad effects - is keeping them legal and regulated a bad plan?Well, I suppose you could brew/grow your own for home consumption in all three cases so.......... :-)
So ... what? You favor making it illegal to commercially sell any of the three?

And yet he still supports medical marijuana and believes legalization should be left up to the states. And the crowd cheered him on.

Alcohol and tobacco have bad effects - is keeping them legal and regulated a bad plan?If it is a mistake to allow relatively-unregulated use of these substances, where's the logic is repeating the same mistake with another substance?

Yesterday my wife was a model in a fashion show that was held in a conference center in area that I worked my last 5 years in. It was very nice at that time, but since legalization several marijuana outlets opened there. Hundreds of millions of dollars had been spent upgrading the facility before legalization. Yesterday, I couldn’t leave my van for very long because bums were milling about looking in ashtrays on top of garbage cans for remnants of marijuana cigarettes to smoke and looking for vehicles to break into.
The place was crawling with security guards chasing them off. I talked to a few of them. They said the whole area was now a nightmare, and that non-marijuana users were becoming afraid to attend events there.

Is it? Seems to me that the conservative position is that self-harm is not the proper business of government.

No choice. “ the state of Vermont provided the list of registrants surreptitiously to the federal government.”

Just sayin to avoid paying the imposed taxes make your own.So guns, alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana should be legal to buy and sell, and to make/grow oneself? I agree 100%.

You better get word of this to President Trump immediately, before he makes the horrible mistake of respecting the 10th Amendment!

The video you linked to was from 3 1/2 years ago during the campaign before he was elected. Even then he said it looked like Colorado was having some problems. It is a hell of a lot worse these days.
