I KNEW IT! Glad I stumbled across this 'pro' marijuana post.

The 'paulie' promoter/supporter for the Rupublican nomination, exposes more of his 'true self!' - i.e. why he's so zealous for 'Lib' Ron Paul. haha

California approved of medical marijuana, and the Federal gov't cannot keep their noses out of our business. Because of the Feds, we are shutting down the clinics. I don't like the Feds overriding our vote. I will follow Ron Pauls lead and vote for legalization. That comes with the price of being responsible for yourself, and any problems you may incur because of this drug.
Tonight at the debate, RP said prescription drugs kill more people than illegal drugs - I agree with that statement. We are not our brothers keeper. It's their body, their choices. If they make bad decisions, they must deal with the consequences. Most people I know enjoy an occassional toke, no big deal. For those suffering from pain, why would we deny them relief?

It's about principle and what is right for this country. I cannot in good conscience vote for any other in the primary. Then I will decide from there. Im very disgusted with all the other candidates. Huntsman doesn't seem too bad.

Honestly, there is no one...at this juncture, I can support. But, hope someone offers more of the quality I need...to support them. I don't support any Dem...never!

This race for 2012 is a bonafide mess, claud. Sad...and bad!

Considering how many lives have been ruined, with people who became drugs addicts after starting with marijuana, it's not a matter of it being "big government anti-freedom." Not when society (and people) are affected.
Remember, too much freedom leads to anarchy.

How many lives have been ruined by people who started with alcohol and never went beyond it?

Just curious waht your take on this is?

I have two ideas, A. Concservatives tend to be more of a family of values, family. The other thing is the prison industry is a huge industry, we have more people in prison than any other country and private prisons make a fortune off locking up non violent marijauna offenders. Not saying Republicans are in business's pocket because dems are as bad if not worse but its a big money maker locking up people for a plant.

Smoke all the pot you want. If you want to impair your ability to compete in this competitive world and neglect your family for selfish buzz, that is okay with me. It will also be easier for my kids to compete in the job market with pot heads.

Smoke all you want. Just don't embarrass yourself and call it "medicine" and try to jam up medical clinics for a buzz.

Life is full of choices- do whatever the hell you want.
