We’ve got far greater issues to be concerned about rather than someone holding a small amount of pot.

or a big amount of pot..or any drug for that matter….any Libertarian could give a rats ass what substances a person CHOOSES to put into their body…I really don’t care. What we do with our own bodies is our own CHOICE

The only plant I’ve ever smoked is the tobacco plant. But I’ve seen the hell of hardcore alcoholism from an in-law. I doubt marijuana could be that bad. But if it is a gateway drug, no sense making it easier for kids to get.
I voted for the medical marijuana law because I know that people dying of cancer are in dire pain, and who am I to say someone who is dying can’t alleviate their pain any way they wish.

For a few years I helped run a website to help find resources for grandparents who were raising their grandchildren. This was mostly because of substance abuse of their grown children. Noone ever menioned marijuana as a cause. There were a lot of meth babies, and substance abuse problems that started with prescription painkillers, etc. I wonder if the painkillers are a gateway drug for those with addictive tendencies?Maybe I should ask Rush Limbaugh.
Drugs seem to be in abundance in Hollywood now as well as the rest of the country.
Must have something to do with our southern border being wide open.
And the two border cops who tried to do something about it by shooting the drug smuggler are now in prison in Texas and the smuggler is free.

If this passes, I could go to Denver and feel comfortable enough to use a little pot without having to pay the ninety-some dollars the state wants every year to get a license for medical marijuana - which is a tad pricy when you only get SSDI. What a racket!

I hope to live long enough to see the government take its nose out of people’s private business, but I’m not optimistic.

Marijuana is no more a gateway drug than is St. Joseph’s Aspirin for Children. The only thing that could make marijuana a “gateway” drug is having laws that wrongly classify it as a drug similar to cocaine, heroin, etc. Our nation’s founders saw no need to criminalize marijuana (some of them grew it) or other drugs, and neither did King George III. Americans just don’t like freedom very much.

Whew, I love these posts. Gateway drug? bwahahahaahahahah…

Alchohol is so much worse, why not emphasize the difference with facts and not just “law enforcement” rhetoric? Is this is the same government calling for enforcement of grass laws, that turn a blind eye to the federal offense of aiding and abetting illegal aliens?

It’s too haaaard.. It’s not faaaaair….sniff sniff…poor illegals…. how about the poor American worker?

So now Grass is the culprit and the “law must be enforced”? My, how convenient…!

I’m glad the police say it’s a low priority, but don’t even grow two or three plants for personal use without a medical “hall pass”…or .. whew..

Then you beome a “drug dealer” and dealt with more harshly than an illegal alien that has committed rape on a 9 year old girl…these government people are corrupt. the system is broken..we need to dismantle it and rebuild….

Who’s with me?

Can I get an amen?

May God Bless,
