Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Bill Introduced to End Federal Marijuana Prohibition

Lots of talk about fed involvement. Don't need any feds. Do it on the state level.

Every jackwad standing on a corner with a pocket full of dope gets a ride on the needle.

The real problem is our youth are easily seduced by the drug culture. They (many of them, thank God i was able to keep my kids, and so far, grandkids clear of that path) often see no downside to experimenting with dope, or even selling a bit for a quick profit. Then they are in "the life" and often "the system".

If they could start hearing in the third grade about how Little Susie's big brother or Jimmy's daddy just got executed for selling a bit of meth or weed.......Well that schitt would not seem so harmless after all.

Then you would see the market start to dry up.

Mr.T will veto, and has already said he's going after the recreation legal states...meds fine tho. The police state will pushed along with LEO,TSA, Border patrol, military, etc...

All this may well be true. On the other hand, how many good students flunked out of college after they discovered weed. How many daily smokers of weed make it to work on time every day.

Do you want your bus driver, your airline pilot, or your child's school bus driver huffing down a fattie before slides into the driver's seat.

This nation does have a serious problem with alcoholism. So, instead of adressing this problem, we should introduce another problem just as devestating to society?

I tried some of that cream. Couldn't tell that it helped a bit.

God, just imagine how much more you could have accomplished in your life without the deleterious effects of that nasty weed for ten years!

There's a thousand different creams put out by a thousand different companies. Some companies are in it for a quick buck due to the Cannabis craze, some companies are in it to produce medicinal products.

Lots of research has to be done to weed out the good from the bad. You may have got ahold of some fake cream or it may have truly had no effect on you. All people react differently.

1.You may be the dumbest corksoaker in the history of mankind as indicated by your post.

2. Apparently ff/emt s and ER workers in your area don't get drug tested.

3.It is Delirium Tremens not tremors Mr. ff/emt/ER guy, see #2 above.

I know some of you guys are older and view pot as the devil but I can tell you that after more than 20 years of responding to 911 calls I cannot recall a single call that was directly related to marijuana. On the flip side I cannot possibly count the # of calls related to alcohol use. From Domestic violence, child abuse, assaults, motor vehicle accidents, suicides, etc. Most of the horrific calls in my mental database are directly related to alcohol abuse. I cant for the life of me understand why someone would condone alcohol consumption and in the same sentence demonize marijuana use. Makes no sense to me. I say let they states decide and remove it from the schedule 1 list.

No, I believe it's a State issue(just like legal drinking age)...and the Feds should deal with real problems, they have enough of them.

Based on national statistics there are many members here that have a loved one that's an addict, or may even be an addict themselves. Most are innocent victims that were hurt in accidents or had surgery, and were dealing with major pain daily. Their "pusher" was a doctor that prescribed the meds, and told them you can't get addicted to prescription drugs. When those legal drugs could no longer be gotten after their pain issues subsided, the only choice was heroin and street opiates...they are victims, not just junkies. They are young and old, just like you and I...regular normal people that were thrown in a blender, because they trusted the medical establishment.

I personally do not care what others do or believe until it has a negative consequence for me and mine. Alcohol and other recreational substances have historically been much more damaging to society than pot.

However, anyone who advocates for any non-medical drug use can probably explain how to pick up a turd from the clean end.

I just saw on TV that more people die from drug overdose in the US than alcohol related deaths,,,and weed for those that smoke it, are far safer than the heroine addicts that got hooked by doctors from "legal" Oxi.

Try working with them.

It's one of those gray area liberty topics where one person exercises their "right" to smoke, but everyone around them, whether they like it or not, has zero right to NOT breath it, and must leave the area. I would have no problem with people smoking pot in their own home if they want, but when the force everyone around them to participate, that's not cool.

Not debating the crime related experience you mention but there is a fundamental difference between the two when it comes to people around the person. If I am an alcoholic or just prefer not to drink, I can sit at a table right next to you drinking a beer and I am not forced to drink. On the other hand, if I'm sitting next to someone smoking weed, I have zero choice but to breath it too, whether I like it or not.

There are consumables now with pre-measured THC doses, nobody has to "smoke" pot unless they want to. So the smoke and smell don't have to be an issue.

Do you want your bus driver, airline pilot, or your child's school bus driver drinking a 1/2-pint of hard liquor or doing a bunch of prescription drugs before sliding into the driver's seat? Alcohol and prescription drugs are both legal.

Get real!

If they were to do any of that the night before, but showed up for work sober and alert, what would you object to then?

Don't forget the twinkies and ho-ho's.

News Flash....they already are.

Yeah, this country has a destabilizing drug use problem because of the medical profession. The docs, and cops are the problem not the lazy, ignorant and criminal people that embrace the thug/drug culture and abdicate personal responsibility. The Man be keeping you down.

I'm not debating permissive usage in public, I'm merely saying that it should be removed from the schedule 1 drugs list and let the states determine what their people want.
