Wow, lots of people who identify as conservatives are in favor of legalization. I guess you can't believe the media when they say that conservatives are only angry white men who want to ban abortion, have slavery, and have marij illegal.

As a true "small government" conservative, I say it should absolutely be legal.


Small government = the least amount of .gov interference in the lives of individuals. Legal pot, one set of marriage laws for everyone, no laws against abortions (with some provisions), etc.

A lot of people have free internet time... So this is a highly skewed poll

People with free time get bored.. idle minds.. mthrn drug use. Probably a good correlation...
Someone find me a study

because narcotics can destroy a society. if you ever study history, you wil see how opium destroyed the chinese economy and nearly ruined it's society as a whole. socialists love to chip away little by little, they do it in small increments like you don't notice, subvert children and change laws. next thing you know, our nation has massive issues.

I have zero interest in smoking pot, but the idea of it being illegal really rubs me wrong.
heroine is from the resin of poppy plants. cocaine is from the leaves of the coca plant.

Huh? "When you Googled" what from my statement?


In what way would you lose your job because of legal marijuana use? The same way that you could lose your job for legal alcohol use?
