“”””Plenty of people are in prison on possession charges “”””
Now you are talking about possession. You initially said people got thrown in cages for using. Is the weed destroying your short term memory?
When politicians do the right thing for the wrong reason, we need to take the win.
Split those hairs ... isn't any user in possession of the pot he's using?
I'm not aware that any state requires pot shops to keep a record of whose IDs are shown. And even if they do, at least a gun-owning pot user has a choice under legalization.
I haven't used pot in about a quarter-century. Is booze making you ornery?
That’s a path no one wants to go down except for the big government controlling leftist. Remember, they can do the same with alcohol and many pharmaceutical drugs.
Are you one of those confused people who believe the stories about people spending years in prison for having a lid of weed?
I believe MA mandates ID and a computer record of your visit before you enter a legal shop. I think they have some reassuring language that they don’t maintain permanent records, but anyone who believes that is a fool. I see it like gun registration. The records just make it easier for them to “get you” later on if they decide that they want to know who their enemies are.
Done splitting hairs now?

Straw man - nobody said a word about length of sentence. The fact remains that plenty of people are in prison on possession charges.
I don’t drink. I don’t do drugs.
However, I do have to put up with all the societal problems caused by druggies.
I don’t remember reading about home invasions done by people looking for money so they can go get a case of Schlitz.
In MA they check your ID. Just as they do in a liquor store. I dont think they are tracking it. Just as easy to grow your own and no one is the wiser.
How about the boozers?
It brings all the stoners out to vote who of course vote Democrat if they show up.
Put Weed in you before you go to the polls.
Just kidding.
They opened it up in MA. It was legalized for a while and they really dragged their feet on recreational sales.
I also know that the illegal weed business is still pretty steady. The MA State Police find cars full of the stuff. The folks in the hood dont like paying retail, I guess.
Now you are grasping at straws. Originally you said people were put in cages for using weed.
Now you are saying they go to prison for possession but don’t seem to know how much it takes to put you there.
This is why I stopped debating stoners years ago. They make stuff up to bolster their argument.
I had numerous employees over the years who did time for drug crimes. Being caught with five pounds might get you a short trip to the can. According to the stoner stories you would think they get the electric chair for a few joints.
Good advice...pot brings out the...”pot heads”...like nothing else.And while they’re there they vote for Rats...up and down the ballot.
That's because their drug is legal hence cheap. Thanks for the pro-legalization point!
LOL
The illegal market is thriving.
I heard they’re pretty pricey, those places.
The GOP needs to compete for their vote - which starts with taking the limited-government stand that marijuana should be legalized.
I say make it all legal. Even sniffing glue and huffing gasoline. Good way to rid the world of idiots. But give or sell to a minor. Automatic death penalty.
