The bill also would establish a fund for people impacted by drugs, impose a 5% tax on legal marijuana sales, and establish a process to expunge certain convictions and review sentences related to past federal marijuana offenses...Clyburn, D-S.C., told members that the vote is expected to take place in the September work period...According to an American Civil Liberties Union report earlier this year, Black Americans are 3.64 time more likely than White Americans to be arrested for marijuana possession...

Although I could also argue that suicide is different in that it ends rather than merely harming the self.
What’s the punishment for suicide, life in prison? If not successful, the death penalty? Heh. Anyway, people in severe anguishing pain deserve all the pain killers they can get.
Attempted suicide that is.
“What’s the punishment for [attempted] suicide, life in prison? If not successful, the death penalty? Heh.”
The punishment-after-the-fact model may not be useful here.
“Anyway, people in severe anguishing pain deserve all the pain killers they can get.”
Agree 100%. Pot too?
You draw the line at heroin, I draw the line at pot. Personally seen people killed *relatives) for pot, abuse their children, and go from promising college students to life long pizza drivers.
Who am I believe, you or my lying eyes?
I’d say pot is probably ok with a true end of life scenario. I broke my leg in 2017 and it still hurts like hell. I deal with advil.
I also had a friend that was given plenty of Fentanyl with actiq lollipops. Would I recommend that being legal for recreational uses? That would be nuts. So is going from medical pot to recreational.
Should a rape woman be forced to carry that baby to birth? You answer, I’m not.
I’ll answer, I prefer adoption. But it’s pretty it’s all a disaster.
“Personally seen people killed *relatives) for pot,”
People get killed for Rolexes - should they be banned?
“abuse their children, and go from promising college students to life long pizza drivers.”
Alcohol has done the same - should that drug be banned?
Again, you’re such a moral relativist . You know that’s based on Marxism right? You’re trying to equate all normal behavior to drugs being ok. Don’t you see your own contradictions?
“The Liberterals on here will be rooting for this...”
Our FR weedbros and weedbras.
“You’re trying to equate all normal behavior to drugs”
No, I’m seeing whether you’re consistent in your professed principles ... and revealing that you’re not. The contradictions are 100% on your side.
Heck, I’ve been called a big government statist for not wanting to legalize cocaine. You’d be counted as one too at that description. Another liberaltarian. I’m sure once pot is legalized you’ll move to heroin and coke. Meth.. All the psychedelics. It’s a lot like gay marriage. Get that in, then pedophilia next.
It’s a slippery slope from hell and you’re going down first.
What drivel. You’re not even trying to make an actual argument any more ... which may be just as well, seeing how badly you suck at it.
You’re right, you’re already quite gone, not down. Sorry.
“Legalizing Marijuana is a Terrible Idea”
Marijuana is bad for the health? So are alcohol, tobacco, and fast food - should those not be legal?
As for Societal Impact, the article hilariously cites “Colorado Drug Overdoses Up in Almost Every County and Ahead of National Average” - which says not one word about marijuana.
What a hoot!
