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

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

How are we clowns for voting NO!!!

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.

Afternoon,

Representative Dianna DeGette D-Co, is introducing a Bill in Congress that so far has Bi-partisan and Pro and Con legalization support to pass a statute that would make it a Non Starter (Exemption to the Federal Controlled Substance Act) for the Feds to be able to take any action against any States who have passed any laws or measures legalizing any substances that are currently deemed by the Feds to be a Schedule 1 Narcotic. Although she and some of her colleges do not believe that this action should have been taken (Legalization), they do believe that the People of Colorado have spoken !!!! And the Feds should mind their own business!!

I say round them all up and throw them in jail for not doing anything to anybody. That joint, young man, will lead to you being homeless for totally unsubstantiated reasons according to cherry picked statistics. Did you know, young lady, that smoking just one joint can lead to pregnancy? And don't forget about crime. Just being around marijuana smoke can make you a violent offender. I knew a guy who smelled pot smoke and kicked his dog.

Well, it's evil, wicked, mean and nasty...

Just the other day I read that three young men HEARD someone mention pot and pushed an old lady down that they had previously been helping cross the street.

It is a scourge on society which knows no limits. Please banish it before we've all gone crazed with reefer madness.

Millions of people who have never smoked pot in their life are suddenly just deciding to get addicted because it became legal. I, myself, found out it's perfectly legal to spit on people's lawns. There's no law against it and you won't get arrested. So last week I spit on two thousand lawns around Denver. Because there's no law against it.

I suddenly became some crazed person because I found out something I've never had any interest in doing wasn't illegal. Help!

First of all,I believe there are more carcinogens in pot than regular tobacco?
I live in Florida where they want a tobacco free state,but are faced with the
people voting to leagalizie pot.(medicinal,then of course all pot) I have known
a few people who have taken pot for chemo sickness,but it was in capsule
form,from the hospital pharmacy.
We have people in Florida asking college students to vote yes on legalization?
I guess they might need it 40 years later?
When I drive my car,I could be facing a drunk driver,or texter.Now they want to add another large group of drivers under the influence,and not worry?
I never realized that thousands and thousands of people need medicinal pot?

That's probably because you're not in a position that you need it. And you should be thankful for that because if you were on chemo and watching your body melt away you'd probably hope there was medication that could alleviate your symptoms and promote eating / nutritional gain.

I really have no idea why people who are against legalization can't grasp this simple fact. Legalizing marijuana does not promote or negate use. You are already smoking marijuana if you're smoking it. You are not smoking it if you don't smoke. So you aren't protecting anything.

Think about yourself. Alcohol and tobacco are legal substances. Do you drink and drive? Do you drink at all? Do you get drunk and run around town causing chaos? Do you smoke cigarettes?

If the answer is no, then that's because you're an informed adult making your own decisions when faced with choices. If you said yes, the same applies. If you do or don't smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, how much does whether or not they're legal impact your decision?

The increase is due to "pot tourism". If marijuana was legal nationally there would not have been an uptick since there would not have been a reason to go to Colorado since you would have had the same freedoms wherever you lived.

The state of Colorado still says that the savings in incarceration costs is greater then the extra costs associated with the extra homeless.

Live in Colorado. In general, everything is just fine. The world kept turning.
