We always heard that the “war on drugs” wasn’t working. That’s because the azho politicians up in the swamp didn’t want it to work. Keep them high and ignorant and they’ll continue to vote for you no matter how big of a crook they are.

thread winner.

[rktman]

WOW! Bet they aren’t all one joint convictions either. Surelt there are no major traffickers among them. 🚽

He’s just following orders from Obama....

[caver]

I have drank plenty of that.

[Trumpisourlastchance]

This is what a collapsed society looks like. It’s over.

[CodeToad]

These blanket pardons seem unconstitutional. In effect, this means any law previously passed can be vetoed by the president by simply claiming all who violate the law are pardoned.

In the late ‘60’s when I was in the Navy at Mayport, FL, me and a buddy used to get Mother Goldstein’s Jewish Passover Wine for $2.25 a quart...We’d get sloppy drunk on that stuff...

I always had a bad feeling that when the teens of the 1960s and 1970s came of age they would try to legalize what they wanted in those years. Sex and Drugs! Some companies even began to copyright various names for future product use such as “Acapulco Gold” and other names.

Wonder what today’s teens will try to legalize when they get of age?

[Red Badger]

BINGO....................

[Paul46360]

PERFECT

[anton]

In general, everything should be legalized. If they want to cause damage, let them. But, the other side of that philosophy, arrest for public impairment, driving, homelessness, unemployment and welfare denied, etc. is not in the cards. Best we can do is slap their wrists.

Yea, any alcoholic probably started with Boones Farm.

Boones Farm strawberry hill. As a youth in Buffalo, we had a clubhouse in the basement. We used the window to chill it to near freezing so we couldn't taste the stuff.

There is normally a lot of paperwork that goes with a pardon. A blanket announcement is a PR stunt.

[devere]

The only reason alcohol and tobacco aren’t “gateway drugs” is you can buy them legally from a legal dealer. It is the laws criminalizing pot make it a “gateway drug”.

[caver]

Wine will definitely get you.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

It makes sense, Joe’s got the brain of a life-long pot head.

[pfflier]

“Grass is a gateway drug. Ask any meth addict...and fentanyl addict...and he/she will tell you that they started with grass.”

Yea, any alcoholic probably started with Boones Farm.

Both are likely true. That makes neither pot or alcohol addiction any more acceptabie.

[caver]

“That makes neither pot or alcohol addiction any more acceptabie.”

I agree.

[Reno89519]

That pardon should be on the condition that they no longer use drugs.
