Care to bring up anything from this century?

The most vocal anti pot crusaders are almost always Republicans, and I'm talking current not the 1800's.

Let's stick to people who haven't been dead for decades.

Although I think MJ should remain (mostly) illegal, if the people voted for it then it's hard to defend a veto, unless the law would inhibit some minority right. But I don't see that here.

Like I said, care to mention something from this century and from people who haven't been dead for over 70 years.

If it wasn't for Republicans weed would be legal in the USA.

But opiates are legal.

Stoners are upset.

Stoners just want to get stoned.

The governor of Maine has no respect for the will of the people, apparently.

Potheads have no respect for anyone who doesn't indulge in their degenerate habit. Trump got elected by 19.5% of the U. S. population. If the same percentage voted to approve that bill in Maine, how does that make it the will of the people?

Would you make the same claim about abortion?


Who cares who made the error.

Here is another politician who is going to follow his agenda instead of what the people want. This arrogance should be addressed at the ballot box. Kick him out of office. You’ve got to remember he is supposed to work for YOU. Let these people know who’s boss....
