Trump's DOJ gears up for crackdown on marijuana

[Pwent]

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.

i love sending criminals to jail, i dont like being able to send people to jail for a drug test or for cops being able to randomly drug test people

be prepared for people to complain about incarceration rates if we actually send them all to jail

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.

I thought the same thing until I saw the real world results. Being able to walk around in a 30 million person city packed like sardine cans and not see a single thug, gangster, crackhead, drug addict anywhere.. was something else.

want to bet whether a wallstreet banker has ever been arrested?

why does your meme imply that a wall street banker is automatically a criminal for working on wall street, compared to a weed smoker who is committing a crime by smoking weed?

you leftards are really bad at memes

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.

Move there.

Where is this place that criminals all smoke weed but don't drink?

These are the people who supposedly represent keeping big government out of our private lives.

Alcohol's out of your system in like 12 hours, it would be pointless. But everyone drinks, not everyone smokes weed. So, weed is the easier tool in every way to smoke out the bad guys.

It's more of a no tolerance thing. Once you start liberalizing weed laws, society moves in the direction of being more accepting about everything. And that kills the ability to have a clean society like I was just talking about.

In that sense, weed is a "gateway drug".

Clean society? What the fuck are you talking about?! Portugal legalized all drugs, and their use of hard drugs went down, because they educated people on drugs, and started giving people treatment, not jail time.

You would be surprised how many people smoke weed.

The only thing big government progressives don't want government to control is Weed and Child Murd...I mean Abortion.

Your post was interesting. However I'm wondering if that same society could function the same way with pot, just as it does with alcohol. Just don't make it illegal. Heroin, pills, they can all be illegal still. Pot itself will not lead to any higher crime and homelessness.

Pot and shrooms, if just not promoted, I imagine as having essentially nothing but a slightly positive effect on society.

several posters claiming "states rights" post are likely the same ones that would go ape shit if states struck down gay marriage
