Perhaps he's just intelligent enough to:
A) realize that prohibition of any substance does nothing but make it more desired.
B) understand that having laws against a plant is idiocy.
C) realize the hypocrisy of people who claim that marijuana is so bad for society yet ignore the damage being done by substances which are far more dangerous yet remain legal.
So does opium but only a stoner would argue to legalize that plant.
Pot heads are not jailed... Haven't been for thirty or more years.. They get a ticket if they possess illegally
What potsters here don't want anyone to see is all the damage their drug does.. To neighborhoods.. To the environment... To the psyche.. To the formative minds
Lie and deny.. Right out of high times
Read the truth
Rocky Mountain High Report August 2015...
Disputes with evidence every single claim potheads and proponents drivel out
Don't be upset that I have been personally successful slowing this scourge in my community through hard work and support of the voters
Harmless .. Bunk.. Thousands are being murdered here and in other countries to supply the roughly 30 million regular pot losers.. I mean users... Legalizing this narcotic won't change the illegal production ...that has already been proven... And users just want to get high..social consciousness being pretty low opposed to getting high
You're the one hanging out with losers that eat weed brownies while at work. Who is stupid enough to do that, especially if they're a first timer? Why would you cover for him if you have such strong feelings about it? Seems that would have been the perfect opportunity to "teach em a lesson".
Sorry that you can't separate what happened to your friend with the Millions of other responsible MJ admirers.
It's sad that our country is in the midst of a legal drug overdose epidemic of epic proportions yet some people still think fighting a war against a plant that has been used medicinally by every human civilization in history is somehow necessary or appropriate because one substance has been dubbed "legal" by some men and the other "illegal".
You are only demonstrating your inability to think for yourself.
I don't have time right now to pick apart your post sentence by sentence so I'll just skip to the end.

Full scale legalization would stop the murders you're talking about. Seems like a cop worth his salt would know that.
Illegal production won't stop just because 4 states and D.C legalized. That won't happen until it becomes legal on the national level, and no, it won't happen overnight. Something else it seems like a cop worth his salt would know.

Well its good that you acknowledge the evidence that people ARE being murdered for marijuana... Or shall we say more accurately for the control of a drug distribution network. The Colorado experiment and those other states that have it also show that any legalization comes with violent consequences.. Crime..robbery ..quality of life crime. Legalizing it won't make those disappear... Evidence out there shows illegal marijuana production increased geometrically... And in the case of some Colorado cities makes their crime much worse... Also why 70 percent of Colorado cities and counties choose no way.. Or heavily restricted its use.
Your solution and supposition is legalization will increase supply and illegal production will subside. Nothing could be further from the truth. It could happen..but from all available evidence so far this is not the case... The illegal producers will continue unabated.. Follow the money... And in a twist of perfect capitalism.. Too much profit.. It's not like drug users wont cheat.. Many have been for years..and we see in Colorado buying unregulated dope is cheaper
Unlike alcohol which I think it a horrible drug the purpose of mj is to get the high... There are states of being high... But high is the purpose. Mj afficiandos only want to get "higher" which is why they immediately went to edibles and honey oil production
Proponents always want to paint a positive picture so they consistently deny or downplay any negative aspect of widespread pot use.
Another intoxicant? Really.. Like we need more ?

Call me when they have it
This week we had another mj store robbed... It specialized ..well it only sold to.. The pot community. The suspects dressed as fake dea agents...abet poorly... Got the safe..AND got the dope on premise
Continue snarkey personal attacks?
Or face the evidence..real evidence.. Not something conjured up in a swirl of mj smoke
Most of America hasn't experienced the full effects of mj widespread use.. When and if they do they will go the way of areas that have... Because this is what we see over and over.. Control regulate and make illegal activities brought on by those who seek unfettered drug use

Murder, robbery, larceny, and burglary have all gone down in Colorado. Overall, crime has gone down in Colorado. In other words, you have no idea what you are talking about - or you are trying to convince people of something that isn't true, which has been your purpose throughout the conversation on marijuana so we shouldn't be surprised.

He lives in Northern California and hates marijuana because of how the ILLEGAL marijuana trade has taken over much of his County and others. So his limited experiences are with illegal growers/dealers (and from the LEO perspective)-I'm not sure why he is always talking about Colorado like he actually knows what is going on there. You cannot compare the two.

Maybe so in your neck of the woods, but in Oklahoma it's a fact people are arrested when found in first time possession of marijuana and charged with a misdemeanor. All subsequent possessions are felonies with a 2 to 10 year prison sentence. To get out of it, you have to hope the county district attorney will let you in drug court and that you perform the requirements. The people who don't meet drug court requirements have to go prison. But Oklahoma prisons are overcrowded. So, notmeofficer, what tax should Oklahoma raise in order to build more prisons to put drug users in? Should the state sales tax be raised by a penny? IF so, it would require a state wide vote of the people.
