GOP Leaders Press Ehrlich To Veto Medical Marijuana

The Bush administration and other top national Republicans are heavily pressuring Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. to veto a proposal that would drastically reduce penalties for terminally ill patients who smoke marijuana to ease pain.

In recent days, several Republican officials have urged Ehrlich to reconsider his longtime support of medical marijuana, which has become one of the few issues that divide the state GOP.

Not a bit.

I'm a dirty winner.

I'm one of the reasons government slimballs like you have to slink around in the dark. Because if people like me knew who you were, we would do our part to make your lives miserable.

Read the declaration. Narcs and most other species of fedgov bureaucrats fit the profile of King George's factors. You deserve the same treatment.

"I have always taken pride in my independent streak," Ehrlich said. "I respect those guys. They have a legitimate point of view, but we have a point of view too. ... I can take some pressure."

No blackmail.

The IOM believes it should be a schedule II drug, not that it should be legalized.

I never said otherwise.

As stated in a link you often post, the Prohibition movement closely resembled the "Progressive Movement." And so do today's drug prohibitionists.

The 21st Amendment, passed with the support of FDR, ended Prohibition in 1933.

So? FDR wore pants, but that doesn't make pants-wearing liberal or "progressive."

The promotion of legalized dope in California, especially in San Francisco, Oakland, etc., is an effort of the left.

Wow. I almost laughed at a few of his posts (some were laughable), until I read further. What a piece of work.

FF578, you are one sick boy. The worst part about it is you actually believe yourself to be a man of God, when you stink like a steaming pile of evil and hate. You actually advocate putting drug users, witches and fags to death? Yeah OK. Let's kill Rob Lowe, teenagers acting out fantasies and guys like Richard Simmons.

You can't be for real. If you're for real you need to be taken off the street ASAP, because you really are siiiiiiiick.

I'm curious, if you're a LEO from North Carolina, why do you have a Pennsylvania flag on your profile?

People like you need to be watched closely and revealed for what they are, which is why I've pinged the Robinsons. You're either a decietful disruptor or a low IQ psychopath. Neither is good for society or this forum.

Medical Marijuana,

As the lead article suggests, medical marijuana is not unique to California.

Kubby, Peron, Rosenthal.

Oh? It's about a proposed medical marijuana that hasn't been signed by the Governor.

California is the crown jewel of the medical marijuana movement and the greatest victory in its history. Kubby, Peron and Rosenthal and their criminal violations have been the subjects of numerous threads about California's law. Did you miss 'em?
