Agree Medical marijuana has definite place in medicine. Just had some one on it for Pancreatic CA. Poor guy's life improved with use of it.

Being a child/teen of the 70's, in my Miami neighborhood of potheads, Van Halen, peace, personally would rather not see it go legal. Just a personal opinion. Only based on experience and what I saw it do. (Yeah, I deal with the horrendous results of legal Etoh and tobacco daily, and the disease and morbidity and death, at my office). Doesn't change my mind.

We are in a Democratic society, and the vote will give a result in the end.

Agree with references to the bible and nothing should be used in excess including this for recreational use.

Odd topic for our forum.

It is only odd because one makes it out to be odd. I see nothing odd about it.

I guess there are many gentlemen who are more conservative due to the era and perhaps area they grew up in. I see how other groups could consider it taboo.

I guess it is a bit odd but I believe the forum is more than just a bunch of card geeks. There are several hundred members I am acquainted with and friendly with. We don't live in a glass bubble. That being said, as I stated above, this is a rare instance with this kind of topic and it will be kept rare. Anyone that is a good contributor can post off topic per the rules.....I just thought it would be interesting, not too political, and make for some fodder. I think it has done that. No one has to worry too much about this forum going to hell in a handbag, we will do our best to see it doesn't. First and foremost it will stay a vintage baseball card and memorabilia forum (on the other side). Once again, thanks for everyone's views, even the ones I don't personally agree with. Freedom is what makes America the best place in the world to live.

If it becomes legal, what will all the Lawyers, Fat Police, Prison Guards and Judges do?

Is there another teet they can suck on until early retirement?

I guess the Supreme Court could overturn the 2003 Lawerence v. Texas Sodomy decision and use those helicopters to fly around looking in your backytard and windows and make sure you are not corrupting your wife. I'm guessing the 62 clowns who answered no on this poll are also in favor of eliminating the 14th ammendment to the US Constitution........? please chime in.

Definition of LIBERTY


1

: the quality or state of being free:

a: the power to do as one pleases

b: freedom from physical restraint

c: freedom from arbitrary or despotic control

d: the positive enjoyment of various social, political, or economic rights and privileges

e: the power of choice

Although I agree with most points made by murcerfan, just as you stated... People have the right to do as they please. If someone is against legalization we can't hold it against them. They have just as much right to be against it as we do for it. That being said, the times are changing and many things are much more open than they used to (I was raised incredibly conservatively).

I guess freedom only extends to people you agree with.

That attitude is so typical here in Ma. That it really bugs the * out of me.
