Spicer is such an idiot. He's probably a stooge for the pharmaceutical industry. Painkiller prescriptions actually go down because of legalized pot. His handlers probably aren't happy about that.

There has been research on this, plus I've known people who smoke pot, including a relative. Reefer madness is fake

I'm 100% in agreement with legalization but there is a right way and wrong way to do things. The Obama administration chose the wrong way. We area nation of laws and what you are seeing is the consequences of two Attorney Generals that have decided they were not going to do their jobs by enforcing the laws on the books. If they wanted to legalize pot he should of stood at the lectern and said lets legalize pot and had Congress to act.

Weed is not additive you can stop,, you can't stop cigarettes with whatever is in it... Do people want their weed or wine or beer, yes... But weed is the easiest to put down..

Thanks for the laugh

I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's habit forming being that 1 in 4 people that smoke weed habitually smoke it. I smoked a 10 sack a day for almost a decade. Once I quit, it was easy to stay away from, but quitting weed was one of the most difficult things I've ever done. Add to this the fact that I lost a lot of friends in the process. One thing that you'll find about quitting weed is how many drug based relationships you have. It's crazy when I look back and see what most of those people are doing these days. Most of them still burn all day and work dead end jobs. It's like groundhogs day for some of these poor saps.

Anyways......no, just no man LOL

It is not a chemical dependency, you don't get withdrawl symptoms like with crack or heroin when you quit

So why were "states rights" the better solution yesterday?

Hey the right is now becoming the fascist party. It will be run by Bannon and the Alt-right. The POTUS is weak and easily led.

Just watch as the Gas Oil Party will pick and choose which group to go after next. Muslim's, Hispanic's, Jew's Catholic's, trans people. Who is next.

Until they can regulate it like booze I'd prefer they not drive. I don't care what anyone does in there own home. I don't want to work with someone who's stoned either.

And yes, I used to smoke out. I know what it does.

So regulate it and put a federal tax on it. Generate tax revenue from it. This approach is completely stupid.
