Sorry guys and gals, I just don't see legalization happening - pot "might" lead to obesity.

Now that is a sizable good suggestion. Honestly I have never tried pot except when walking down city streets and in Europe getting it second hand. I didn't like it even weakened down by those who couldn't live without the "high", whatever that is.

I will never forget smelling that crap on the streets of Munich, Germany and not knowing what it was. Back then bums grabbed up all the cigarette butts they could find, placed them in a sack and a few joints got mixed in. Nearly everybody smoking German cigarettes were also smoking that good "sh*t" too.

Yep, there are still a few of us around but we are quickly aging and will soon be gone. You can pay my taxes after I am gone since you will be able to swing the legalizing of drugs. When you say drugs are you talking about all of them or not? I wonder how many of you think that since one of the strongest drugs we use, tobacco, has been made illegal in public buildings that same law will have to apply to maryhunny? The police would have to have proof that you weren't smoking tobacco, I would think. Well maybe they could use dogs to determine the law breakers from the ones who weren't.

It's Big Brother. Big Brother is bipartisan, and he sure don't like no pot.

I didn't know that but since you wouldn't behave in a silly manner it must be true.

Then you have never tried it.

That sounds awful. But I think you got a bad first impression, like your first taste of beef was rectum instead of tenderloin.

I've never heard a pothead complain about that. Nor will you.

Once you know how it smells, it's pretty easy. Just follow the pizza delivery guy.

I am surely a Tea Party supporter and still don't want to see any of those drugs decriminalized until someone proves that there is no problem with them.

My drug of choice, tobacco, never seemingly did me any harm other than the fact that my heart beat faster with it than without it and I didn't have chronic bronchitis which my doctor tells me is really emphysema. Oh, btw, emphysema is what killed my father at 97. He smoked from 16 to 92 but it got him anyway.

Take two of your friends, and go into a room. Odds are that one of you smokes Marijuana.
The group of friends that I used to play poker with every Wednesday was made up of 7 men between 50 and 70 and none of them smelled like mary jane, but maybe they went home and did it after the game.

I am proud of you for not doing it while you drive since bad things often happen to people who do that. Yep, you are a good guy.

Did you just say that I am not a real conservative? Sounded like it and if worrying about government being big enough to keep people from doing drugs is what it takes I guess I will have to become a liberal again.

It should be the opposite. If someone can prove that marijuana is harmful. Of course, some will be harmed, some are harmed by anything. However, the vast (overlooked and ignored) majority of pot smokers have not suffered any ill effects.
Years ago I smoked pot with several college students. One went on to become a successful lawyer, one a computer engineer.
During the Viet Nam war a sergeant was awarded the Medal of Honor in a White House ceremony for rescuing two wounded soldiers in combat. In later press interviews he admitted that during his brave action he was stoned.
The 'research' about the effects of pot are politically influenced: Big Brother.

A president can't say he or she supports it and have any shred of hoping to be re-elected. The same with Christianity. You can't say you're a nonbeliever either. This is true for either party.
