I intended that to be funny, btw.

[dragnet2]

You succeeded!

[Monty22002]

As Rush always said when I listened, fight absurdity with absurdity!

[dragnet2]

You should change your moniker to Captain Absurd. Kill them with absurdity.

Cannabis is the ONLY issue the rats ever get right & even then they screw up with insane taxes & regulation.

It’s a plant people should be able to have & grow if they so choose.

The FR totalitarians will disagree with their prohibition rhetoric & ignorance & no minds will be changed as per usual.

[TheStickman]

“Why are you pushing drugs on a conservative site?”

Why are you committing falsehood on a conservative site?

Advocating for the freedom to chose to use or not to use cannabis is not “pushing drugs” it is promoting LIBERTY.

You’re ignorance is truly disturbing to read.

What matters is that legal dope doesn’t conflict with illegal dope.
States have legalized dope and the illegal dope trade still thrived.

Mainly this is because SNAP benefits can’t be used for legal dope.

[Monty22002]

You can push for cocaine too, been called a statist for resisting that. Whatever your favorite drug is, you want legalized QED.

[TheStickman]

blah blah blah

[Does so]

“Black Americans are 3.64 time more likely than White Americans to be arrested for marijuana possession...”

And nothing bad happened to their brains...

[RedStateRocker]

Yep.

legalization would undercut a lot of Democratic votes. If the Democrats were smart, they’d support full RKBA implementation, constitutional, carry, etc. Take those issues off the table and a whole bunch of Republican voters wouldn’t go to the polls.

[RedStateRocker]

And most importantly, stay true to our concept of ‘State’s Rights’. If there is *ANY*_ issue that should be decided by the states, this is it.

[NobleFree]

States have legalized dope and the illegal dope trade still thrived.

Much of the dope illegally grown in legalizing states is for out of state sale and has probably simply replaced rather than added to previous sources.

And some legalizing states have overtaxed legal dope, giving a large price advantage to illegal (hello, CA!).

Mainly this is because SNAP benefits can’t be used for legal dope.

Nor directly for illegal dope; in either case users need to barter SNAP for cold hard cash.

[NobleFree]

no minds will be changed as per usual. I'm more optimistic; although the vocal Reefer Madness brigade will never be reasoned out of a position they were never reasoned into, lurkers can easily see who has the better of the argument.

[polymuser]

Yep. We can grow coca and poppies and mushrooms, too, right? Natural stuff.

And further enhance our society’s average IQ. (I remember my Millennial child monologuing on me when doped up...humorous to watch, but damned sad to witness my kid’s IQ in the 80 range.)

It’s just weed bro.

[NobleFree]

Should we ban everything that detracts from intelligence: Alcohol? Reality TV? ...

[polymuser]

Blah blah blah

[polymuser]

Blah blah blah

[NobleFree]

Blah blah blah

Although you will never be reasoned out of a position you were never reasoned into, lurkers can easily see who has the better of the argument.

[polymuser]

“Although you will never be reasoned out of a position you were never reasoned into, lurkers can easily see who has the better of the argument.”

That is your (toke) false assumption about strangers to you (me, lurkers) because of (toke hack hack) your absolute surety of your (toke) logic and reasoning...dude...wow...oh yahhhh...

(That line’s getting old, btw 8^)
