Sarah Palin: Smoking Pot Is No Big Deal

Alcohol will screw you up way more than smoking a joint.

Preliminary and ongoing research suggests otherwise. Had a brain scan lately ?

Far out, man.........

If I had to choose where to deploy police resources, the southern border would come way before any enforcement effort for marijana laws.

In fact, a good case could be made that marijuana laws cause a good bit of the problem on the southern border.

Obligatory disclosure: I do not smoke anything and do not drink alcohol. The only drug I use is caffeine and that would not change if any drugs were legalized. I firmly believe that I am stupid enough already and don't need a stupifying assist from any drug. That said, I believe people should be free to choose their own vegetables.

This ain’t activism.

You do know that in AK, that it is legal to grow pot for your own use?

And no, Sarah had nothing to do with that law.

Exactly! The title IS a lie! And it exposes the person of that lie and their agenda.

Go Sarah - squash the commie liars.

The lack of intiative and forgetfullness is the real side effect.

Samuel L. Jackson: "Damn, girl...you smoke enough of that sh*t, it'll rob you of your ambition."

Bridget Fonda "Not if your ambition is to get high and watch TV."

From Jackie Brown, Tarantino's film of Elmore Leonards's Rum Punch.

What a stupid comment! This alone should disqualify Palin from consideration for the GOP Presidential nomination>

I voted for Ronald Reagan, Mrs. Palin, and you're not Ronald Reagan.

Would Sarah want someone high on pot driving on the opposite side of the road she is driving on?

Does she not realize marijuana is a gateway drug that is proven to lead to other drug usage?

see 45

No, she isn't right.

Marijuana is a gateway drug. Legalizing it will guarantee more losers smoking pot, more killing innocent people, especially on the highways, and result in an increase in all drug usage, drug trafficking and crime.

Marijuana decriminalization was tried in the 1970s in several states and was complete disaster and each state ended up outlawing it once again.

Thank you april15Bendovr. I noticed your post on http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2529920/posts I am also convinced that those that argue against it are iether pot users themselves and no longer THING straight or they are self absobed people that could care less about others. There maybe one more category - ignorance and they wish to stay that way. Marijuana Smokers Face Rapid Lung Destruction -- As Much As 20 Years Ahead Of Tobacco Smokers

This headline is totally misleading. If you watched the program, Judge Napolitano was asking her about some police op where they went after this guy and made it into some Elian Gonzales type deal with a swat team and everything. She just said that in that case it was probably overdoing it.

She never said it should be legalized or anything and in fact said it shouldn’t be. She just said in the big scheme of things, it’s not high on the totem pole in terms of what the police should be focusing on compared to murders, kidnappings, and other crimes.

In any event, it’s really a local issue and she was just giving a personal opinion.

Yes, her lack of CONSERVATIVE ideology is showing again!

There is a big difference bewtween being a Populist and a Conservative. Palin is a Populist. It's no wonder she endorses and campaigns for McPain!

Another post by you calling Sarah Palin a populist.

Care to define what YOU think being a populist is and how Sarah Palin IS a populist?

You throw that tag around like it is something that is so evil that Governor Palin is a lightweight as a result.

Please support your position with some sort of list of facts and some logic!

I proudly take your extreme criticism as the ultimate compliment. Thank you! Now go light up that joint.

Man oh man, you just couldn’t be any more wrong if you tried. Bless your heart.

Juicers rule!!

I leave that for YOU to research.

At some point YOU must eduacte yourself on the differences between what a Populist is and what a Conservative is. I ccould tell you the differences but you won’t listen to me. It’s up to YOU, to discover that if you don’t already know and SHOULD know.

Populist? She is actually correct on this IMHO... I see not much difference between smoking pot or drinking beer... both get your impaired... cocaine, heroin and meth are different stories.
