Weed is legal in my state, and yet I don't feel like smoking it. Weird .... (Brown, marijuana)

They have tribal sovereignty. They can do whatever they choose within their reservations. Should we consult other sovereign nations regarding U.S. law?
They are also smart. I hope the Indians win on this.
I didn't realize how stupid people were (or maybe just Americans) until I looked back in history and realized that every time something was banned, people only did it and/or wanted it because of rebellion. Not because they actually wanted to do it.
Yes. All those epileptic children, chemo survivors and PTSD vets are "just your average, dumbo, low-information voters."
First of all, I was referring to the 60% of the population who don't vote other than in presidential elections in the post you quoted, so what you are talking about, I have no idea. Fail...
Second of all, we aren't talking about legitimate medical marijuana use, we're talking about the legalization of recreational marijuana, so fail again.

You are right. You did fail. Repeatedly.
Many people here reported on not getting medical marijuana cards for fear of any federal crackdown.
Now that recreational is legal, people seeking help are free to do so without being 'in the system'.
There's living here and seeing legalization take place. And there's mouthing off here on CD.
You barely seem qualified for the latter.
Ron Paul made that same point during a {R} debate and I think he is right. Like you the gvt can make herion, crack, and meth all legal and I still would not purchase any of those items. But I would browse the pot shops
B-b-b-but weed is a gateway drug, and if legalized everyone is gonna be blazing up, and then pursuing harder substances! Honestly, I can't believe anyone still believes that crap! At any rate, if you don't smoke and don't want to do so, then don't. However; don't tell others who do want to that they can't, and use the government to prohibit it, just because you feel "icky" about it!
But do you feel like hiring potheads? The fact that your state is filled with little more than potheads could start affecting how many businesses want to move in. And what does having mostly potheads around do to your welfare rates? How many are mooching off the taxpayers and getting food stamps and medicaid?
It depends on the indvidual. I know folks who don't partake in anything that are dumber than a box of rocks. Secondly, I wouldn't care what someone does on their own time, provided they can do the task at hand, and aren't doing it on my time. Finally, as someone who partakes, I have no issue holding down a job. Been with this company for 7 years.

The Yakama Nation tribe of Native Americans is ramping up its efforts to ensure a new law legalizing recreational marijuana in Washington state won’t apply on ancestral land.
The 10,000-member Yakama Nation has already said pot will stay illegal on around 1.2 million acres of reservation in central Washington where state law is trumped by local rules, but Reuters reported this week that the tribe is considering “a bold move that could test the limits of tribal sovereignty” by seeking to keep weed outlawed on another 10.8 million acres of ancestral land.
I support the rights of the business owner to hire or fire whomever, for whatever reason. That being said, I also have the right to work elsewhere if my employer decides to be a little dictator and tells me what I can and cannot do outside of work, and on my own time.

No one has the right to say otherwise.
Just don't beat a path to my ER when it all goes wrong.
Mandatory jail if you hurt others.
And don't start with the propaganda nonsense about how no one gets hurt or hurts anyone else doing weed. That is an effin' joke.
I agree. So long as you don't hurt someone in the process, then no problem. I'm all for consequences if one's actions cause harm to another individual.

Correct. Some companies are even testing their potential new hires for nicotine (which is legal) and denying them employment if they're a smoker, or use any form of tobacco.

Hmmm... this "pothead" exercises his voting rights all of the time.
I thought the Warriors on Drugs said that I would be more tempted to do drugs if they were legal and available. Well, I drive by weed shops every day and I could legally buy some and smoke it if I wanted to. That's so weird how I haven't become a pothead. It's good thing that heroin is illegal, though. I need the government to protect me from myself.
We need to end all wars, including the war on drugs. Then follow that with ending the war on sex and the war on gambling.
Government should not tell me what I can eat, drink or smoke. Government should not tell me how to spend or waste my money. Government should not tell me who I can have sex with.
Yes, absolutely if by "pothead" you mean somebody who consumes some pot.

Grow up. No state is filled with little more than potheads.

Grow up. No state has "mostly potheads". I know lots of executives, lawyers and other highly skilled and successful people who partake.

Probably a lot less than those who don't partake.
