Seems like it's pretty much de facto legal just about everywhere it's not explicitly so, at this point, no?
Sure, but the guy is in his 40s. That's a relatively new development.

I have lived it all of my life. I would tell you how many times I've felt sorry for him and bailed him out of jail, but you wouldn't believe that either. I'll tell you this, when his bail got to $2000, I told him I wasn't giving another penny of my hard earned cash to the government because he was a dumbass. I'll let you guess how many times it takes to get you there.

Even if true, bizarre that it's irrelevant to you that it has been illegal that entire time. I wonder how much less destructive his behavior would have been if he could have simply purchased it at a shop.


Equally bizarre to me is the fact that it is irrelevant to you that he would burglarize your house, mug your wife, or rob a convenience store to get the money to do so.

Bow before my iron-clad "argument", because accusations are arguments in your world.
You don't seem to understand the difference between banning substances vs banning harmful behaviors (i.e. behaviors that harm OTHER PEOPLE...with or without that substance).

Driving sober: OK.

Driving impaired (pot/liquor/whatever): not OK.


It's just not clear at all what aspect of this could be even vaguely challenging to understand. The latter construct is not an issue of "freedom" and it's dishonest for you to insinuate that it is. (I guess I should clarify that I think it's likely you're too stupid to be dishonest about this and actually seem to believe what you are typing.)

A lot of drugs would be cheaper if not in the black market, so there's that.

Again, why do you think I am promoting poor druggie behavior? The only difference is that I don't pretend that banning the substance prevents the poor behavior you list (and, in fact, legalizing could possibly make it better.)

It seems to me that if you just proposed a bill that essentially repealed the federal laws and regulations prohibiting it, you would get more votes. Adding all the social engineering, taxation, retrospective aspects to the legislation is guaranteed to create opposition. It’s a simple matter. Repeal the Federal legislation and regulatory scheme and leave it to the states.

Um, there have been several stories recently about dispensaries whining that after the government cut and all the regulations, they can't compete with the illicit drug trade. Be that as it may, it takes a special kind of stupid to believe that the government can do anything cheaper than private industry.

But you are pretending, and here explicitly implying that legalization decriminalization could make it better. The druggies will still have to buy the shite, you know? How do you go about that when you are an unproductive piece of shite?

Lol. Good. Personally, I don't care what you do in your spare time in private (although, if you ever give it to one of my kids, you'll need a good fricking surgeon, I promise). But, it's damn fun watching society's dregs out themselves with their wailing. My favorite is when they cry and bitch about legalizing medical marijuana because granny has glaucoma, as if actual cognizantly-functioning society doesn't see right through them.

I've never met a pothead who wasn't a completely worthless dumbass. And, no, you haven't either. And don't introduce yourself. You're not the exception (no matter what backstory you make up).

Um...what? Who is advocating the government sell drugs? That's basically what prescriptions are - and you can see that has CREATED the opioid crisis.

For one thing, they could actually buy a stable, repeatable product from a known, quality source and not have to rely on getting poison shite from the streets (presently happening with illegal Fentanyl).

I fail to see how going to a drugstore to get your fix is not obviously better than going to the hood to deal with shady characters.

Doesn't really matter if it is clinically addictive, it is psychologically addictive.

Do some research

Physical addiction IS a psychological effect

These are the same thing, and pot is not addictive, no matter how many times you lie about it

Your brother isn’t “addicted”. He just likes weed and probably prefers it to this backwards frick arse twisted society

You think they are just going to decriminalize/legalize drugs without regulating them? Maybe you aren't a pothead, but you must be on some pretty good shite. Name for me one fricking thing that people want, that the government doesn't get their cut of, and regulate the hell out of. Just one.

I'm sure it's better in many ways. But it doesn't make it cheaper, and it doesn't make it free.

I know I’d never convince you unless we were to meet in person so I won’t spend any more energy on it. I also don’t care what you think as long as you’re not in the business of lawmaking.

Cheers.

There's always exceptions to the rule. All these highly successful mensa society potheads are massively outnumbered by pieces of human debris like my brother. They should force the pothead mensas and the human debris to spend time together, so they would quit spewing stupit shite about the virtues of pot.

Edit to add: Trademark on Pothead Mensa for a band name.

Yes degenerates exist in every vice but gambling and booze are legal. Pot should be too.

Sorry your brother can’t handle pot, but the rest of us don’t need to suffer for his inadequacies. Same as other legal vices.
