Just because something is legal to have doesn't mean you get to make money off of it without paying taxes.

Also, I'll be so glad when pot is legal in every state, so we can get rid of this whole "medical marijuana" BS. It's gotten to the point that people actually believe pot is medicine. LOL Anybody with an ounce of common sense knows that it's just an excuse to get high, which shouldn't be against the law in the first place.

All of this talk is giving me a headache. I'm going to go drink a couple tall cans of medical Budweiser.
Well, a 21-year-old I knew back in the 1980s said it definitely eased the nausea caused by his cancer chemo. I believed him.

I suppose you think he was lying.

My neighbor's son had lymphona when he was 16. His son smoked weed for the same reason to counteract the nausea from the chemo, and increase his appetite. Now call me crazy, but a person with cancer choosing to smoke weed to counteract nausea so that they can get nutrients into their body, so as not to waste away, as well as increase their immune system by increasing their appetite to fight that horrible disease seems like it can only be a good thing!

I seriously doubt that. Especially if Ron Paul were to win.

But lots and lots of laws are not enforced.

Holder's Spokane Visit Doesn't Dim Prosecutors' Zeal in Kettle Falls 5 Pot Case - US News

Why do we allow the federal government to tell adults what they can eat, drink or smoke?
This goes right along with his many other lies...


"Like your healthcare provider you can keep it"

"Not a smidgen of corruption in the IRS"

"I heard about it on the news"

"We're closing GITMO & bringing the troops home immediately my first term in office"

"No boots on the ground in Iraq"


He's a compulsive liar.

I'm a conservative and I support legalizing all drugs. And Obama couldn't use reverse psychology even with a teleprompter.

Because they want to control all aspects of your life. Power is addictive.

I am "pro marijuana" along with millions of conservatives.

Look at the whole conversation we had, if you actually support freedom and small government, you are not a mainstream "conservative."

This conservative would be fine with legalizing ganja nationwide. Obamacare... not so fine.
