I have educated myself and have concluded we don't need another legalized intoxicant.

I am tired of hearing excuses of "yeah but alcohol" or "yeah but tobacco" BS.

Bottom line is society eventually has to pay for those choices the "yeah but" crowd made and I resent the hell out of it. Many is the time when I turn my train over to the relief engineer and walking to my hotel I have to step over some piece of human refuse lying in the gutter over his "right" to get wasted on some crap. Or my senses get assaulted with the rank door of dope some douche is smoking in an alley lying in a pool of filth.

Any abuse of any substance will eventually catch up with you and you ask for help and I will say "why should I pay for your personal choices in life" then I will kick that person back into the gutter they rose from.

Do you think it is safe to be driving while under the influence of booze and/or or taking prescription medications? Why aren't you screaming for the ban of alcohol and prescription drugs?

DUI is illegal already. Marijuana simply adds to it.
In America, alcohol can only be consumed at home or in certain places, but it's harder to control the use of marijuana.

People who smoke pot and say it doesn't have any affect on their brain have never listened to their own conversations. At some point, at the very least marijuana will be decriminalized and possibly legalized, but that won't change the fact that while you are high, you are an idiot.

To say it shouldn't be illegal isn't applauding it. I don't smoke. I'm just sick and tired of the huge waste of resources.

Uncontrolled of any substance is dangerous and I survived the 70-80 and there are people who are still stone and offer nothing be a productive adult.

Most who abused pot are dumber than a box of rocks!
Unless you have Cancer or a physical problem that requires to deal with pain, other using additive morphine,.

Those who support narcotics should really rethink the whole sale of a controlled substance. There is a reason we call it a "Controlled Substance".
It hasn't been controlled ever.

Synthetics go away if actual pot is legalized. I would cut the arms off those who create the synthetics.

Congress created and passed some sensible legislation. I am really surprised.

Hi Mr pot poster
Colorado counties.. I believe 71 percent have said no to pot in some form or another. They have done this through zoning ordinances or city municipal codes.. so while legality statewide might not be an issue ..it is locally . The 9th has regularly and consistently have ruled local jurisdictions have overall say.. even though the pot barons and aclu have brought suit and been whacked each time

You'll tap on your keyboard in a altered mental state winning some imaginary battle in your mind.. if that feels good.. wow..uh..ok... I'm vanquished... not
I'll go make the world better today for real... do something larger than me focus and I'll do it unaltered... happily...
Stark difference in what we do
Thanks

^What in the World are you even trying to say, Officer?

Are you sure your mind isn't already "altered"?

Maybe people would take you seriously if you wrote in complete sentences, but you seem to only be a hero in your own mind.
