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

That I can agree with!

America seemed to do pretty good before all these substances were prohibited, and progressively worse since outlawed.
Gotta be some reason for that.
Seems prohibition made booze a bigger problem than before it was illegal.

Some lessons society never learns.

Look at the difference leadership has made in the last few weeks. People respond to logical leadership. Think back about the unification in the fight against the axis powers in WWII. If we had great leadership against drug abuse it would trickle all the way down.

The use of the mind altering drugs creates the problems, not the prohibition of them. Prohibition does nothing one way or the other, it's the lack of enforcement of that prohibition that sends the message that it's ok to abuse them.

I'm going to take a WAG that some painful punishment would go a long way to stemming recreational drug abuse. I'm thinking caning in the public square.

Blind leading the blind

Defeatist or drug abuser?

Outlawing drugs to stop people doing drugs and being idiots is about like outlawing guns to stop crime.
Real simple truth is, it doesn't work.
It just creates a black market that enhances the problem.
History show us that, yet society remains blind to the truth.
More proof that propaganda works on the masses.

You really need to quit watching those Mod Squad reruns , the only junkies here are on legal pills from their doctors.

I think the Feds should outlaw all drugs. No prescriptions, no healthy herbs, no aspirin, no alcohol, no tobacco, no coffee, no nothing. Anyone caught with any drug of any kind executed on the spot. Congress not exempt.

I recently saw a clip about using ecstasy for treating returning vets suffering from PTSD. MDMA was developed for psychiatric use but because people liked the feeling and it worked the government outlawed it. Now it's being therapeutically used with tremendous success.

I live in a county, that doesn't allow pot sales. In a state where it is legal! People can grow their own. I see no difference today than before it was legal! I do believe this should be a states right issue! I know what part of southern Oregon fireball lives in, that area has been flooded by druggies since the 60's! I understand the attitude of hate toward drug use! Drugs [bleep] up many families! That said smoking pot is not the problem! Nor is legal use of pot the problem! Meth is the biggest problem, followed by opiates, both prescription and street! Another issue in that area is lack of jobs! As far as pot workers not being productive, that's just another fairy tale! Many recreational users work and run successful businesses! The individual needs to make a decision! Smoke and not work or not smoke and work! They can't have it both ways when working for the man! I tested my employees before I retired, sometimes I would go through 10 or more applicants before one would pass! I know I missed some good talent because they couldn't pass, but that was their choice! I guess smoken if ya gotem! I'll watch!

Good post Heym.

Some people just live in the ghetto. Nobody that lives in the ghetto really likes living in the ghetto but they stay there, for whatever reason. There'll always be ghettos and they'll always have unhappy people living there. It's just the way it is.

Doncha mean, Good post Heym!

I mean! Really!

Give the man some credit!

X point! Is hard ta reach!

I think it's more than just pot! I read the papers from your area a couple times a week! Regardless of what someone is arrested for 50% or more also have a meth charge! The same thing is happening in my area! Not only a meth charge but repeat offender's. I don't care too much about the legal pot, but I wish the state would address the light punishment applied to meth! Our laws are way to lenient regarding meth!!!

Lol, you think they're lenient on meth now, just wait until they make personal use amounts a misdemeanor. Its coming to Oregon as we speak.

If we really wanted to thin the herd we'd legalize it all. Manufacture and sell through the state. It would control cleanliness and speed up OD deaths. It sounds callous but we'd reach an equilibrium in a couple generations and probably see a substantial reduction in use, legal and illegal use with today's numbers, within 50 years. It's hardly appealing (hard drugs) when you watch a friend or loved one die from addiction. Death is always prematurely inevitable for an addict.

I hope they make it illegal again. I preferred being an outlaw. Go Sessions! Unless he's recused himself from that too? Fuggin government can't even kick a buncha pothead ass. Pathetic.
