That's really the conversation - where do you want the control to be? At the federal, state or local level?
Does someone like a nationwide education policy? How about regulating homosexual marriage at the federal level so every state has to accept the will of Washington in that matter? Or would you rather have those decisions at the state level?
If California wants to let folks smoke dope while two men who identify as women engage in transgendered lesbian sex in the girls bathroom, that's for Californians to decide. If folks in Nebraska or Idaho or Michigan don't like that, why should they have to put up with it?
The red herring that always gets caught in these arguments is whether pot is good or bad or indifferent. We have these threads over and over and the same players post the same things, no one ever changes their opinion. But if you hate it or not, why let the federal government make a one size fits all policy toward it?
Why not let the residents of a state decide for themselves on each and every one of these social issues? There are still dry counties in the country where the sale of alcohol is banned, in other places it's allowed under different circumstances. In Idaho only state liquor stores can sell hard liquor, in Florida private stores are licensed to sell it.
Oregon allows the sale of recreational marijuana but allowed counties to opt out, that's why you see tons of pot shops in Western Oregon but Malheur county in very conservative Eastern Oregon has none. Bravo! They let the folks make the decision at the most local level possible.
Each state decided these social issues for themselves - pot or alcohol- and if they want to change it they can do so at the state level, and if the states are smart and it's feasible they delegate that decision down to an even more local level.
Just get the damn federal government out of these social issues. In fact get the damn federal government out of everything except those things that is beyond the power of individual states to effectively control, like national defense or interstate highways.
There will always be people who f*ck up their lives. There will always be people who allow their irresponsibility to harm others. And there will always be people who want more and more government - but ONLY when it controls all of those other irresponsible ass holes - leave MY liberty alone, thank you very much.
The government that governs least governs best.
Amen!
Because people in some States expect the rest of the States to take care of them. A war was fought because of it.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

21 pages devoted to dope. Don't do drugs your mind is a terrible thing to waste.
Below is from the study's of the NIDA they say study's are limited as well so we can't have more study's.
Since pot shares so many pharmacokinetic properties with “hard” drugs like heroin and cocaine, it should be assumed that the physical and cognitive effects of long term cannabis use is similar, if not identical, to the negative side effects of powerful street and prescription drugs.
I have seen too many examples of destruction from smoking this BS. The most recent was a friends sons girlfriend smoked while pregnant with his child. I could not tell you all the issues the child is having the mother is gone and the grandfather is left to deal with it.
The current political climate has the youth of our country thinking there are no side effects to smoking long term.
Good luck and shoot straight all. Don't smoke dope while doing it though it does impair your brain function.
Only the small operations are growing outdoors today, the risk is too high for crop loss due to disease/bugs/theft/mold...and if your neighbor has 1 male or hermaphrodite in his yard, your entire yield is ruined with pollination. Of course there are still guys up in the mountains doing big grows, but LE and rippers are always a major concern.
Back in the day all weed had seeds, but today's market of designer strains demand high dollar...seeds drop the value by 50% or so, most dispensaries won't even take it for resale. With the ability for some to grow 12 plants for each Medical card for "patients" in their state, even 80 yr old grandparents have a backyard full of pot for revenue. Just so their plant count doesn't exceed the total legal count, they're begging for good weather thru to harvest.
Where'd you learn that, Cheech? Drug school?
