Good!
What an AH.
State’s rights, period.
Republicans want to lose so badly.
Oh that’s cute. The SOB wants to use the Rat extortion gig to keep them dayum Injuns from beatin out some of his buddies in the tobacco or alcohol industry from cashing in.
Wow, it’s not like there are more important issues going on now, like the existence of the country or nothin’.
I’ve seen tons of public service ads recently claiming smoking tobacco will kill you and vaping will maim you, but not a single one claiming smoking pot will kill or maim you. Based on the accuracy of the former two claims, common sense indicates the latter is harmful.
“The laws of any government should not infringe on the overall laws of our nation...”
How about: “the laws of any nation should not infringe on the rights of the people”?
We never gave the feds any license to regulate what we smoke when we ratified the Constitution.
Two groups are opposed to legalization: Rural Republicans and Urban Democrats
He just lost re-election.
It is a lost cause... But legal, or illegal... It will always be sold and controlled by criminals. Legalized pot operations are losing money in Canada... Because nobody wants to pay exorbitant prices and then taxes on top of that for ‘legal’ pot.
Illegal pot is now selling for as low as $3 per gram... Previous to legalization it typically sold for $10 per gram... So the stupid government thought that selling it for $10+ taxes would go over well... Instead it went over like a led balloon. They are overpaying their legal suppliers and now they are stuck with dried out expensive pot that nobody wants, and they can’t sell.
Only government could make a product legal and then lose money trying to sell it.
Traffic on highways 19 and 74 will be awful once this passes. Which is a shame.
This will be an interesting development considering that no state in the south has passed legalization - the Cherokee could pull in customers from 6 states!
I can’t think of any other Indian tribal lands in the south. Are there any others? If not, what a run around state laws.
The Karen Platform is no way to win elections.
This is not about the good or bad of pot legalization. Federal taxes are collected in all states. This allows them to still collect the same from some states and then short them on the benefits therefore negating the justification for collecting the taxes in the first place.
BORING.
Proper conduct in a civil society entails restraint to some degree, as well as personal responsibility. While there may be room for MJ use in life without fear of arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment, no one has a free pass to conduct resulting in injury or death to others.
One of the biggest blunders that Reagan made was signing a similar law to withhold highway funds unless states increased their drinking age to 21.
The 21-year old drinking age is a national embarrassment that has done far more harm than good.
The ship has sailed.
Too bad.
Typical GOP doofus.
If he was really worried about safety, he would propose a ban on sugar or alcohol.
If NC wants to restrict marijuana, then be my guest.
Every urban downtown stinks of pot - the stench of decay and decline.
And the “conservatives” cheering this on, or frightened to touch the issue and risk losing elections, are part of the West’s degeneracy.
