NO KIDDING!

I'm really glad people who think like that are now down to 14%!

Anyone who thinks that countries like The Philippines are handling drug issues the right way, please, feel free to move there. I personally choose to live in a free country.

Hehe, faces getting eaten off. A dose of humor, right when I needed it. Thanks!

I watched a lot of people get wasted and stupid, and some of them moved on to harder drugs and some are not with us today because of it.

While I think there might be some people who are helped by MEDICAL pot, the problem is, every toker gets a card and is using the excuse of a bad back or anxiety. Watch, the pro pot guys will be out in full force on this one and saying you and I are the crazy ones, but the truth is, I don't want to live in a country of blasted zombies all around me. People are stupid enough as is.
I've smoked it for fifty years, and I've never seen anyone permanently incapacitated by it. I have seen a lot of people die as the result of alcohol. A close friend just die of cirrhosis two months ago.

I thik we need to outlaw alcohol again, since it worked so well the first time.

WOW, it's been a while since I've read/ posted here....I see not much has changed, well, except the absence of one of my favorite anti-pot posters. I wonder how he's doing?

He stopped posting shortly after it was legalized in California. I don't know if there's a relation there or not.

Liberty is a funny thing.

You don't get to make choices for your neighbor and your neighbor is not making choices for you.
It works!

Like alcohol, the Federal Government had to amend the US Constitution to even have the authority to get involved. I see they tried the Statutory route this time, with Unconstitutional results.

Then you are a hypocrite. If you support and even partake in the consumption of alcohol, which is more dangerous than pot, yet judge people who smoke pot and support them being criminals, you are a hypocrite. Booze was illegal at one point. That status can change and in the case of marijuana, should change. If it could never change you'd be just as big of a degenerate for your glass of wine as you think pot smokers are.

Do you really need a definition? Someone who smokes way too much and thinks it's the potential to save the world. Like, don't ya know, man? Weed is the best, man.

Seriously, the people who push that pot is just the most amazing thing ever and that it's illegal status was all a conspiracy by people in the paper industry.

In sum, pot heads are ANNOYING.

Kudos to you for the most ignorant, drama queen, henny penny, arm flapping, hysterical, stupid posts I've seen this morning.

As someone mentioned previously, you are hypocrite and a dinosaur in your beliefs.
