Trump's DOJ gears up for crackdown on marijuana

[Thunderflash500]

The gang crime that revolves around weed?

Legalize it and it disappears.

 

[Makani]

Pot smoking burnouts are insufferable and pothead culture should be heavily discouraged

Is that a vote for locking them up en mass for the profit of the prison industry?

He's another one of these fake phoney patriots. Fine with restriction on personal choice and freedom as long as it isn't his.

"as long as it isn't his"

I'm an authoritarian and don't partake in degeneracy, so where's the contradiction?

What makes you better?

What makes you better?

I don't smoke weed and purposely compromise my memory and basic math skills, for starters

glad to get these pot abusers off the street

my neighbor has people over in his burntout pot den where they inject pots all day. once, one of them injected 5 marijuanas and OD'd

And cocaine, heroin, meth, crack.

 

[Pwent]

in all seriousness, i think weed and other drugs should be legal, but militant potheads are annoying

Assuming you have some evidence that frequent users are bad at math, is it the skill level or just not making the effort to be all one can be that makes them inferior to you? And how did you determine memory and math make you better than someone who excels in creative ways like art and philosophy?

You feel the same about alcohol, McDonalds cheeseburgers, salt, potato chips, violent video games (nice av), tylenol, antibiotics, guns, etc etc etc?

I mean seriously, anything that is not consumed in moderation can be dangerous, including water.

When taken in moderation, MJ is not anymore detrimental to your health than a starbucks coffee.

I would think a conservative like yourself would understand that the actions of those who can't control themselves shouldn't dictate curtailment of personal freedom.

Wasting a perfect opportunity to go after foreign-grown weed first (America First, if you will), take away funds from Mexican cartels, and help do Mexico a favor if the wall is actually moving forward.

Hmm, I did memorize pi to 101 decimal places way back in high school. Wonder if I could handle 102-202 after pots.

Mankind is surely better for it.

My god the people in charge are retarded

On the face of it, I'm against this. I love smoking weed myself.

But I just traveled to a few countries that haven't started the liberalized attitude towards drugs yet and .. well, it makes for better societies.

If a cop can randomly search you, make you pee in a cup without probable cause walking down the street, and put you in jail because a positive random drug test counts as drug possession.. well -- there was virtually no crime, no bums, no homeless, no crackheads, no thugs.. all of it, gone. They were all in jail.

Seeing all that in a city of 30 MILLION people packed like sardine cans was, quite frankly, an amazing experience that changed my mind on this. I have no problem with strict drug laws and more. Under American drug laws and police laws, that city would have been a hellhole instead of the paradise that it was.

It's not about pot. Pot is an easy way of catching everyone else that is a problem. All those bums, crackheads, thugs, etc. -- all of them smoke pot. If you can jail them for pot possession, and if pot possession is considered the same thing as a positive drug test that police can give out randomly to whoever they want walking down the street, you can clean up the streets overnight.
