I don't have the reading comprehesion problem that you seem to be afflicted with...
The conservative Republican governor stopped smoking dope and snorting cocaine decades ago and he hasn't had a sip of booze in 13 years.
Apparently to you, "once a dopehed, always a dopehead." What does that make GW Bush?
Then again, look at the state he was governor of. No exactly a bastion of conservatism.
Of course, the marijuana issue is not the only issue Johnson is conservative on. Seems to me he is or was more conservative than most of the other Republican Governors.
In office, he has cut taxes, reduced the state workforce, built two new prisons, raised teacher salaries and crusaded, unsuccessfully, for school vouchers. But he is well known for his vetoes. In seven years he has vetoed more than 700 bills passed by the Democratic-controlled legislature.
The tone of your post makes me think you are a democrat.
I guess I'm in pretty good company by agreeing with the former Governor then.
The tone of your posts leads me to believe you are you are a nanny state socialist.
These days, he gets high by running marathons and climbing mountains and hang gliding.
Mountain climbing and hang gliding are dangerous....maybe we need to ban those pursuits as well....after all, one does get a high from those activities.
Actually Johnson is a competitive triathlete, as am I. Along with my agreement with him on his conservative stances on these issues, I find that I have more in common with conservatives like Gary Johnson than I do with so-called "conservatives" such as yourself. In fact I don't believe you are a conservative at all, but that's just my opinion..
Not really.....
'Most users of marijuana are responsible users,' he said. 'They're not doing any harm to anybody... Having smoked it and given it up, I would ask you not to smoke pot. But should it be a criminal offense? No.'
I agree with this statement as well.
It's apparent to me that the tide is shifting in the "drug war", and those leading the way will be conservatives.
Interesting that you would agree with his recommendation that one should NOT smoke marijuana.
President of the US - much to the disdain of you democrats.
He has given up drugs. I doubt that you are a competitive triathlete and a drug user also.
I noticed that stunning victory in Nevada. In a state where every other vice is legal and practised to excess millions of dollars couldn't get pot legalized.
Although I was out of town, my wife told me that on Christmas Day there was a hugh legalize pot demonstration outside the King County Jail (Seattle). All of about 20 of your faithful stood out in the wind and rain protesting. If you can't drum up a crowd in Seattle for a demonstration you've got problems.
But should it be a criminal offense? No.'
Where have I said that I use drugs?
I'm a little out of shape over the winter, but I have no doubt I could still kick your azz in a triathlon, with or without drugs.
My guess is that if it was Christmas, most were home with their families.
Whoop de doo. I am really afraid. With drugs, you would be fish bait.
