Anonymous Coward User ID: 72568602 United States 03/16/2017 11:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sessions could sink the Trump administration single handed with this bullshit. Hey Jeff, go lock up some pedos. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72568602 Well thats obviously why he's in there - Trump talked so much shit about how he never smoked or drank or did drugs he kinda painted himself into a corner here being so anti "Drugs" Trumps going to be a one timer when they start going after LEGAL weed - During campaign, Trump said legalized marijuana was a decision for the states, not the Feds. Trump kept Sessions around because he was loyal to him. Maybe this kind of thinking works in business, but as a sitting president, the loyalty of idiots can get you shitcanned. Sessions has already recused himself from being effective in any matter that counts. So now all he has left to prosecute is marijuana smokers. Its insane. Trump is going to be taken down by the weakness and stupidity of his staff. And btw. I commend Trump for staying away from drugs. I stay away from them too. However, it is not my job or Trump's job to police everyone's private life. Not only is it obnoxious, but there are much bigger fish to fry. I wish Sessions would get a hard on to go after Soros, Podesta, and Hillary. Instead, he's looking to create more perps out of ordinary Americans. Its a goddamed shame. |

Right now I have no health insurance for myself or the two daughters I've had full custody of for over 10 years and receive no welfare or gov't subsidies at all since over 11 years ago. My family can help me when need be and so I go to them if I need money because I know there are less fortunate people who do not have a support network as strong as mine. Fuck you. I am done talking to you. Not trying to pour salt on any wound. I'm a single dad so I understand the struggle. Spending limited resources on weed when you have kids is ridiculous. I'm sober and motivated and that's how I keep my job. I'm not sure you're being honest with yourself l. Good luck. Just so you know, I do not support the use of marijuana around children just as I do not support smoking cigarettes around children or drinking around them or using opioids even if prescribed. Yes, I am sure there are those who truly need the opioids to get through the day because they have real pain. My heart goes out to them. There are also those who abuse the use of pain killers. If those used MJ instead, maybe they wouldn't go that route? I'd be all for prescribing marijuana instead of opioids. The truth is I'm not even against legalizing marijuana. But there needs to be severe penalties then for those who misuse it and harm others. If you get high and kill someone in your car as far as I'm concerned it's no different then if you shot them. Same for alcohol. My real issue with this is neither side is being honest. Alcohol is a more destructive substance than marijuana. Marijuana is hardly harmless like many of its proponents claim though. It is psychologically addictive for many people. Just for once it would be nice to have an honest public discussion about it. Completely agree, but we need a better test that shows when you last used, not just that you have in the last month. |

Eight years old. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 43557374 This is real life. There's thousands of stories like this. Your "innocent" drug took away this family's daughter and countless others. All of your rationalizations and arguments about the exceptions to the rules don't fool sober minded intelligent people. You are using an anecdote of an exception as a basis for your argument while telling us to spare you arguments based on exceptions. Are you able to see your own hypocrisy? Not everyone who uses Marijuana is guilty of being irresponsible and putting others or oneself at risk and everyone is innocent until proven guilty for those of us who believe in the tenements of the Constitution. Your so called logic falls far short. Might want to lay off the bong. If the rates in Washington state are any indicator it means that between 2 to 3000 people more a year will be killed in car accidents alone. That's not an exception that's a public health crisis. A stack of thousands of innocent dead bodies isn't enough to deter the mindless rationalizations of a pot addict though. I grew up around it and I understand how weak they are. In addition what about legalizing crack? I'm sure many people will only use it recreationally and won't drive. Are you for that too or do you only support the drugs YOU are addicted to? I always get a good laugh when someone tells me marijuana isn't addictive. I watched people not pay the rent and get kicked out so they could buy a quarter ounce every week. They're not addicted but they never quit? It is a mental addiction not a physical one. If the quit, they would not suffer any physical effects. MJ is relaxing. It makes you feel more in tune with nature and the universe. It makes you want to go to the park or out in the country to feel part of this glorious world that we live in. You look at things differently, and yes, it is an escape from many of the negative realities in the world. More than and escape, it is a coping mechanism. Like anything, there are those who use it responsibly and those who don't. A small amount of pot will not impair someone so that they cannot drive. In fact, it will make they more aware of their surroundings and many proceed more cautiously. If it were legal, perhaps dosage could be better regulated? A small amount works just as good as a large amount. There needs to be more research and education on use which cannot and will not be done while it is illegal. You cannot overdose on pot. |

Put a government warning sticker on it and tax it like beer and cigarettes. Employers can still ban marijuana use at the work place or under it's influence or presence in blood as a policy. Operating machinery, automobiles, or other sensitive activities that require higher mental function can forbid it's use or set a limit of blood TCH level. There has to be safety limits for many reasons. But, if you are retired, or if your job is so menial that you can be high at work, then so be it for you starving artists.
