i appreciate the sentiment. i personally enjoy hitting people with ideas that offend and confuse them and i also enjoy being called a leftist or right winger. ive been doing this a long time. i started out more a pure troll and now i dont consider myself as much of a troll, i just like to push buttons.
Some ppl just need to be told what to do and won't admit it

I agree with a lot of your points on here too

yeah, it is kind of shocking that the position is just "its the law, you are supposed to follow the law." i was a little taken aback when the one guy seemed to think it was ok to keep people locked in a prison cell for something that is presently legal. as if you obey the law for the sake of obeying the law rather than believing that the law is supposed to punish things that are wrong. as far as i can tell, if you are saying something should be legal, you are saying that it isnt wrong to consume it (at least legally). maybe that is one of the difficult things about this debate that people dont really think about. if you legalize something, you need to deal with the fact that you wrongly ruined so many people's lives.

people seem pretty shocked when they agree with me on issues. im not sure if that is a compliment but in any case i appreciate people taking the time to read my posts.

Voting no for the aspect as I look at it as a vice that will cause people issues. I really wish cigarettes were illegal when I was a kid as now I have a vice thats been impossible to drop.

Also voting no on question 2. Veterans who served zero war time should not be given $250.

so you think the government is your mommy.

i voted no also on 2. the military is just a welfare program whether or not they fought in a war. we shouldnt be supporting these people, they should get real jobs.

The people voting no - know that every child who was poisoned by “edibles” and pot gummy bears in the legal weed states will be thanking you. As will the future kids who will be poisoned if this passes.

FYI edibles are extremely potent. Those who needed to be hospitalized simply ate too much. A lot of ignorance stems from simple lack of knowledge and facts. Being ignorant is not being used as a slight of character in this context. Just simple lack of knowledge.

They sure are. I’ve only had edibles three times (a gummy, a lollipop, and a cookie), and each time I underestimated the potency. The cookie I ate in the evening and I was still high when I woke up the next morning. That’s the bad thing about edibles IMO, the high lasts too long.
