I haven't smoked it in a long long time but I'd be very dissappointed in a federal crackdown. I'd still be a Trump supporter overall but much more lukewarm about it. At the very least it would be a bad bad move for re-election. This is an issue that younger conservatives(and many older ones even)AND liberals can often agree on. There isn't much for the different sides to agree on anymore and we ought to take seriously a few topics like this that can unite us a little bit. Our law enforcement will be busy enough deporting people, which is a far more worthy use of resources.
well the first step should be to stop the liberal law that outlawed hemp back in 1937
and btw... hemp (aka marijuana) has 1001 uses NOT COUNTING getting high... people need to stop looking at it as a drug, and look at it for what it is... a plant that has many uses
Maybe you just have an addicted personality or something. I know quitting cigarettes was the hardest thing I've even done. But I also know people who decided to quit cigarettes and it was no big deal to them. Almost every I know smokes pot on a daily basis....and I'm not talking about people in dead end jobs. These are professionals, some who make a quarter a million and more each year. They do it for relaxation just as someone else may have a drink. And I also know when some were looking for a job they refrained from smoking so they could pass a drug test if needed. It wasn't a problem for them. So you may think it's addicting from your experience but I've never know anyone who had a problem giving it up.
Almost 1 in 3 people that smoke weed become dependent. Like I've said, I could care less as long as it doesn't affect other people. My only point is that anyone that says weed isn't addictive is full of ****.

I think some addictions are all about the mind. You have no withdrawal symptoms from quitting pot. It may be in your mind that you need it but your body doesn't. So you just have to change your mindset.
This post is comedy gold. Seriously, what planet do you live on?
I'm 100% pro recreational marijuana. Hell, I'm 100% pro decriminalization of all drugs including heroin.
I'm just pointing out that weed is addictive because myself and a ****load of people I know have been addicted to it. To say that weed isn't addictive or habit forming is to deny reality. Stupid stoners justify their dependency by comparing weed to hard drugs or saying it's not as bad as alcohol. I agree, but you're still a drug addict
It's not worth it for the increased temptation, through social normalization, and thus risk to children and young adults under the age of twenty five; before the brain stops forming. Consistent marijuana use, before that point, permanently stunts white matter growth in the orbitofrontal cortex. This likely to be wider spread permanent effect on the brains of the populace isn't worth the tax revenue.
So to you, the underground market for marijuana is less harmful to the public than legalization. If so, the street drug peddlers love you.
Jail is a lot more hazardous to ones health than pot... not to mention to the taxpayers that have to pay for it and the lives it ends up destroying for no reason. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. If the founding fathers can grow herb so can any adult.
You are splitting hairs on this. I think that most people can see that there is an inherent contradiction in the Trump adminstration using a pro-states rights argument on the transgender bathroom issue and then a day later proclaiming the supremacy of the federal government on the marijuana issue. In any case, with his ACA executive order Trump has already given us an example of not enforcing federal laws when it suits his purpose (the IRS has announced that it will no longer penalize people who do not have health insurance despite the legal requirements of the ACA).
Legalize marijuana and heroin. Tax on excess fees to both to pay for universal mental health and substance abuse care. Retroactively adjust sentences of those incarcerated for selling or using marijuana and heroin.

Cannabis: Legalize nationally, ban nationally, or let states decide?
