Yup Carl Sagan, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates lazy dummies the whole lot.
But now I see why we have such a problem with the border the idiots closest to it are more more worried someone is smoking a joint.
You really are a pathetic dope (dope, get it more pot humor) aren’t you.

[Vision Thing]

It was very potheadedly correct (pc) for you to censor someone and take them out of context. Way to go.

Reagan. Pot Free. Greatest President.

Trump. Pot free. Soon to be greatest president.

Your brother in pot obama. Full of pot. Worst. President. Ever.

You trigglypuffers love obama. Long time!

So what that’s their personla decision, Washington Jefferson Monroe and Madison as well as many of the founding fathers smoked pot. But then again I am not a judgemental nanny state douche like you that thinks I should decide what is best for every one else.

Washington Jefferson Monroe and Madison as well as many of the founding fathers smoked pot.

Cite one, just one, reliable source for this assertion.

Good :)

I was afraid I was flashing back to my old college daze :)

Dr. Burke, president of the American Historical Reference Society and a consultant for the Smithsonian Institute, counted seven early presidents as cannabis smokers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Zachary Taylor and Franklin Pierce. “Early letters from our founding fathers refer to the pleasures of hemp smoking,” said Burke. Pierce, Taylor and Jackson, all military men, smoked it with their troops. Cannabis was twice as popular among American soldiers in the Mexican War as in Vietnam: Pierce wrote to his family that it was “about the only good thing” about that war.

The point of the Sessions action is to clarify the constitutuionality of the federal law.

The Congress passed a law forbidding marijuana. The States have passed laws regulating the sale of marijuana . There is conflict.

Thus, some states attorney will bring a law suit that will be decided by SCOTUS. That is why we have three branches of government.

It's been several decades since SCOTUS and constitutuionality had much to do with each other. Justice Thomas seems to be the only consistent federalist on the Court.

[Vision Thing]

Yes, if flashbacks occur, let's hope they'll be more interesting than experiencing the horror of some federal activity. :)

Enjoy your weekend, Freedumb2003!

[11Bush]

That is funny!

The only two references to "Dr. Burke, president of the American Historical Reference Society" that I can find are from Marijuanalibary.org and DU?

Not exactly a strong case. Good try, but no cigar, or joint as you may prefer. Don't bother with another response, weak discussions are not my interest.

For the record, I have smoked, and see no problem with the legalization of weed, but to make up history in that pursuit is demeaning.

Pregnant women, do you see why you should stay away from marijuana?

[edzo4]

Then f*ck off

[Kaslin]

What about him?

[familyop]

"So what that’s their personla decision, Washington Jefferson Monroe and Madison as well as many of the founding fathers smoked pot."

They were not in favor of growing the kind of hemp that dope fiends like to smoke. They were in favor of growing the kind of hemp that can be used to hang those who promote and sell dope.

[familyop]

An even better example! Perhaps the two are related without knowing it.

[edzo4]

Was Ben Franklin hanged for opium or laudanum use?

[11Bush]

I must admit your debating skills are unassailable.
