Democrats are for Big Huge Government, Republicans are for Big Government.
I have to hand it to Democrats, at least they're quite honest in their intentions of expanding the control of government. Republicans? Eh, not so much? The fact that Congress is pulling a d*** move like this, proves how dishonest they are.
I am all for marijuana legalization--the second you take me off the hook for paying for pothead's emphysema and brain damage. Also food stamps to support his munchies, and remedial ed because he did not pay attention in 11th grade algebra.
The second you stop insisting that I pay for the consequences of your drug use, I am for full legalization.
The second you stop insisting that I pay for your knee and ankle surgeries, I will support legalized jogging.
I don't think there is a choice. Either they agree to the bill, or the government shuts down tomorrow. GOP did not give any time for any discussion for this 1600 page monster bill. Agree to it, or the government shuts down. Classic.
Kinda like Obamacare.... pass it to find out what's in it.

Do any of you realize that MJ is STILL illegal at the federal level? States can NOT legally make it legal. Just like they can't over ride the fed laws on guns.

I'm aware of that. And quite frankly that ban is un-Constitutional! Riddle me this?!!! In regards to alcohol, why did it take a Constitutional Amendment to enact prohibition, and another one to repeal it, but yet no such thing was done with cannabis? Cannabis prohibition is based on nothing but lies, propaganda and pandering to special interests that at the time feared they would lose profits! That goes for cannabis's cousin industrial hemp! It's all BS! And if I'm not mistaken, the reason that prohibition of alcohol was overturned was because states started telling the feds to pound salt!
Right wingers say all the time that Democrats are big government and for intrusive control, I am not arguing that part. I am simply saying, this is what we get when Republicans are in control is big government and intrusive control. The GOP can lie all they want about being the party for small government, but times like these always prove otherwise.
It's pretty rich to watch a liberal spout about Republicans lying, not admitting that Dems lie, when they lied their asses off about that train wreck called Obamacare.
BOTH PARTIES LIE, just fricken admit that for once in your life!
There is a difference between Republicans and Conservatives. Those idiots who call themselves Republicans but keep voting for the government to fricken get in the way are NOT Conservatives.
No they legally can't. Do you think states can over ride the federal laws on guns too?
Some have overridden the constitution with state gun laws.
States can do whatever they choose until challenged in court.
Since 80 - 90% of all drug enforcement manpower is at the state and local level, they can easily just ignore the federal laws. All governments choose what laws they will enforce and to what degree.
