It baffles me how some people vote against their own self interest.

I'm a medical patient, so I believe it's much, much healthier than pharmaceuticals. It's way past time to legalize medicinal, at minimum. Especially since the prohibition was enacted in racism.I hear you man. Lot's of places are taking steps in the right direction regarding drug laws. I mean, I don't even do any illegal drugs anymore, not even pot but I'm just against the idea that everything that's unhealthy for you should be illegal. I think there's much better ways to deploy a police force than by arresting people for doing drugs.
Can't believe I'm agreeing with you.....well not all drugs, just marijuana.Precisely. When the US tried get rid of alcohol via prohibition, we got organized crime. End the prohibition on drugs and the results change overnight.
They're pretty useless anywaysNice to see everyone social distancing. FWIW cops & security are no longer getting involved in anything. They’ll all watch everyone kill each other and avoid getting sued. Welcome to the new America. “Let then kill each other” sucks but it’s where we are now.

That's not going to change kids going to the black market for cheaper and stronger heroin, etc. Also....there would be an age limit, so they would have to.I think most drugs should be legalized. Take heroin for example, it's not really the heroin that's killing people, it's the fentanyl. **** one kid in South Florida died from heroin laced with elephant tranquilizer. Another 10 Y/O from Overtown died from getting accidentally exposed to fentanyl. Ditto with weed, how many people died off of K2...
In the 90's the motto in Arizona truly was: "Arrive on vacation, leave on probation." There were billboards that read: "Smoke a joint, go to jail." You got free pink underware, tho . . .I was arrested in Arizona in 2001 for smoking pot. I was not selling it or distributing it. I was on a road trip with some friends and the night clerk at the hotel I was staying in called the cops because he smelled the joint we had smoked. The cops came and arrested all of us. Here's the really fun part! At the time Maricopa county was trying to be all "law and order" and cracking down on drug crime. They had made any possession, no matter how small, a felony. So I was booked and charged with TWO FELONIES because we smoked a joint an my buddy had a pipe in his bag. Paraphanilia, no matter how small, was also a felony. Now because I had no prior convictions, I was offered a pre-trial diversion program. In exchange for taking drug counseling courses and passing drug tests (that I had to pay out of my own pocket) and paying a rather large fine, I was able to avoid trial and have my record expunged. Thankfully, I was not some broke kid who didn't have the $2000+ to pay the fine and take the courses. Otherwise I would have had to go to trial for two felony counts.
Maybe in some places, cops don't arrest you for marijuana but I can assure you that is not the case everywhere. Drug offenders are big profit for police departments and the prison system. They're often much easier and safer to arrest than violent criminals.
Big gov't and it's involvement will always be circumvented by people looking for a better way. Drones don't understand the concept.That's not going to change kids going to the black market for cheaper and stronger heroin, etc. Also....there would be an age limit, so they would have to.
The only reason people used K2, was because marijuana is still federally illegal and is absurdly a schedule 1 drug. With no protection for most workers, people on probation/parole, etc. They had to resort to a Chinese molecularly altered synthetic THC, so they wouldn't fail a drug test.

Thatcher was a horrible woman who cared only about London. She killed unions and left entire parts of the country to rot. Nothing she ever said should be used to support any argument or point of view. I grew up near Liverpool and directly witnessed what she did.
That's why Biden's "decriminalization" and rescheduling plan is a nightmare. If it drops to schedule II like he proposes, it would go to pharmaceutical companies, working for profit and be regulated by the DEA, there would be no more variety and THC would likely be capped. It would all be vertically integrated and cultivated for profit.Big gov't and it's involvement will always be circumvented by people looking for a better way. Drones don't understand the concept.
I can't count the times they've moved the goal posts in California when it comes to the growers and suppliers. Whether requirements or taxes. Let's say sometimes circumventing the legal aspects helps pay for that vacation. If you know what I mean. I can't speak for dispensaries and consumers. That i don't have knowledge of.That's why Biden's "decriminalization" and rescheduling plan is a nightmare.

I never made it out to the tents. I was in the drunk tank for two days before I got bailed out. Every other person who had the same charges as me got ROR but the judge told me and my friends that we were "flight risks" because we were from Florida so I had to get bailed out. Who TF is going to run from some first offender weed charges?In the 90's the motto in Arizona truly was: "Arrive on vacation, leave on probation."

You gotts to love the internet tuff guyz. Anyone with half a brain knows people behaving like that should be locked up. It's called law and order. Fist to cuffs are one thing. Dudes punching chicks, people kicking people in the head when they're down. Picking up brass stantions and hitting someone with it is assault all day brother.Lololol DTP!
Help! Help! They are being loud over there officer! Fisticuffs might be involved! Haaaaaalp!
