>> many saw it as the answer. More people would be employed and the tax money would go to schools and infrastructure.

People are in denial about booze too. But it’s legal.

I enjoy a cuban cigar and a sip or a few of bourbon or scotch. Or a cold beer on a warm day (or cool evening). Or a good Napa Cab with a rare ribeye and loaded potato. But I can't deny the social and economic price the USA pays for alcohol abuse. It's far worse than the damage caused by pot.

“But I can’t deny the social and economic price the USA pays for alcohol abuse’’<<. True indeed. You can add to that the medical damage done to the body from alcohol.

I’ve seen it time and again working in hospital emergency rooms.

Been using cannabis medicinally since 2015. No longer taking any pharma meds after being prescribed psych meds for over 22 years.

Went from being a severely mentally ill person, unable to work for decades, to a blessed man who now has 2 jobs & is enjoying a fabulous quality of life.

Cannabis is very medicinal for many humans & has been used so for 1000’s of years & up till the early 1900’s was legal to grow, use & sell as it should be today!

It would be like if all beer had the alcohol content of 151 rum.

Is 151 rum illegal? Why not?

Regards,

I don’t know why we should bother posting anymore.

This site has become infested with stinking liberals. (Libtardians.) And like anything they touch, they turn everything to crap.

“Yeah, they should just stick to harmless tobacco and alcohol.”

No no no. Add another drug. Then, another. Then, more. Let sober foreigners take all the jobs and degrees from our drug-fogged populace. Oh yeah, man, fire up that bad boy!

Exactly. There is no limit on the potency of the marijuana that you can buy from the dispensaries and there really ought to be.

It might if the nicotine levels were 100 times the amount you get in a cigarette.

That’s just because pot hasn’t been legal for that long. Did you read the article?

Don’t you think that since it is a medicine, as you claim, that the dosage ought to be regulated?
