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

Random.

The wrong guys are leaving. If the one's causing the most problems weren't tolerated there wouldn't be a problem with the one's left.

I apologize to the members for participating in the foray, but repeatably being called stupid and insulted by the same guy since I've arrived here...tends to get under my skin.

Though we may all disagree on the fine points of life, civil discussion leads to learning and new ideas. This thread is an example of that, people have strong viewpoints on subjects...yet at the end we agree to disagree sometimes.

My apologies again.

I'm amazed that we have gone so far down the tubes here in the USA that things like legalizing drugs even comes up as a bill much less a vote.

Medical use I"m fine with. But not just I can't stand to go to work use... legit use...

But just as a daily thing... its not a good thing at all IMHO.

Careful the pot advocates will chew your head off.

Careful, self-described conservatives will advocate for more federal, state and local government because you're doing something the self-described conservatives don't agree with.

Can replace "self-described conservatives" with "bible thumpers" and get the same result.

No dig at you personally, FB. But it's applicable.

I really don't care if people want to do heroin on their own time. Or pot. To the extent if affects others negatively is not cool. I don't have the answer for the balance between "I'll do what I want on my own time and property if it isn't hurting anyone directly" and "We should kill anyone who thinks about doing drugs but I need another whiskey."

I'm kind of with Steelhead- let Darwinism sort it out. However, it is sorting itself out on the streets of Seattle and other places, in public, in a bad way (specifically derailing and talking about heroin/hard drugs here vs. the thread topic of pot but it's I guess equally applicable in some minds).

Is the answer to give the addicts some super pure stuff and let Darwin sort it out? Maybe. But I don't advocate giving monkeys loaded guns either.

Then again, by and large, we don't have potheads (and I'm referencing people who only smoke pot and don't use other drugs) homeless on the streets causing all sorts of crime leaving needles everywhere.

I don't have all the answers. I know for a fact that giving these people "safe injection sites" ain't going to solve anything unless you use it as bait and arrest the fockers.

I look at advocates for social change (drug use) as liberals, and my position as the one fighting for conservative values. I am extremely conservative in my views. By conservative, I mean conserve traditional values and resisting the liberal agendas and social engineering. I see drug use and abuse as a liberal problem.

It doesn't take bigger govt, it takes the right govt.

I hope President Donald Trump stands firm and tough against drug abuse.

You sound more like a big government republican. Conservatives like the Constitution, freedom, small government, local control and generally staying the f'ck out of other people's lives. Republicans and democrats like big government and lots and lots of laws in their pathetic attempt to control other people; they can't which forces them to make more laws. Eventually everyone is guilty of a certain level of lawlessness daily, cameras are always recording and you're under 24 hour surveillance. All of this just because some republican/democrat thought they could control other people.

I saw a documentary comparing our prison system with other countries and there were stark differences. There's more than a couple prisoners that didn't do drugs until they got to prison....meaning that even under the most extreme amount of control one can excercise over another they still can't prevent someone else from altering their state OR prison is the gateway drug. 😉

Some people are so dumb they just learn to regurgitate what they hear.

Tomorrows paper. March 12, 2017 Sunday

I don't understand enabling, which is what all the social programs and warriors are doing.

I couldn't care less if people want to shoot smack or smoke whatever, but stop the damn food/shelter/welfare etc etc.

Let them die out, or figure out how to be functioning human beings.

Don't take my word for it, here's the local sheriff.



"The violence was the latest in a string of marijuana related shootings, robberies, and assaults that have taken place since recreational pot became legal in Oregon on July 1, 2015. Back then there were hopes that legalization would cut down on crime.
"There's crime associated all around the marijuana industry," Josephine County Sheriff Dave Daniel said in late February...

"Home invasions, car thefts, water theft, property disputes. It's definitely affected the fabric of our community."

There still needs to be a push to legalize prostitution, while we are at it.

Pot Brothels could be a hoot.

Some people learn by being there. Maybe you should listen to them.

Maybe I should listen to the elected sheriff who asks the county commission for a multi million dollar budget every year to "fight" marijuana ? Right....

He's not lying. Horse, meet water.

So dark.

Do you wear eyeliner?




Dave

That sucks.

For you.




Dave

I forgive you.
