Does anyone else think the whole weed debate is stupid

quote:

---

if you are someone who would vote for any candidate just because of their stance on weed, you are an imbecile

---

this part is very true; however, this does not apply if two candidates are nearly identical with the exception of this issue.

now what is the point of your thread? What has POTUS MAGA stated on the issue that has you all up in arms?

whole seed debate

The better shite doesn't have these rolling around in the bottom of the baggies any longer, so I'm told.

most sane people can agree that there are much bigger issues

Money spent policing it, is a major issue

People who legitimately need it for medicine but can't get a job because according to the federal government there is not any medical benefit. Is a major issue. Companies can still drug test for it at any time until the schedule 1 is lifted.

People doing hard time over having small amounts of marijuana is a major issue.

So your saying regardless of any other policy you would vote for a candidate just because of his weed stance? Because that's what I said. Don't turn what I said into a straw man frickface

I think weed is a pretty big issue. It impacts crime, government spending, tax revenues, prison populations, etc.

Also, you're saying that laws should be left up to the states. Does that mean you want to remove federal laws around weed?

My only issue is that there is a portion of weed advocates that use the whole medical benefit as "the" reason is should be legalized. Just be honest. You want it legalized because you want to get high. Don't hide behind various medical ailments, my favorite being "I have anxiety. I need it to calm me". I have anxiety too, but I just deal with it. Other than that, I have nothing against weed. Smoke yourself retarded, it won't bother me.

It's a State's rights issue and it is slowly resolving self that way. The Constitution works.

I agree... but if I agreed with someone on their economic and foreign policies the dealbreaker wouldn't be if he had a different stance on pot than I did

Do you think the govt operated on Honest ground when campaigning for its illegality? Should Nixon have been honest when starting the war on drugs and just admitted he wanted to go after hippies and blacks?

1. No one is doing hard time for a small amount of pot anymore.

Not true it takes a quick google search to see you are wrong

2. A private company can drug test for whatever the frick they want. A lot of people get around drug test everyday.

---

If they are legitimately using it for medicine they shouldn't have to. Companies can't fire you for opiate painkillers if they are prescribed. A much more harmful drug.

quote:

And I didn't say it was a non issue.

---

No you said it wasn't a major issue I disagree. I've told you why and you spouted off a retort with out doing an ounce of research first.

quote:

---

this should be handled at the state level.

---

It's a federally schedule 1 drug meaning it can't be handled at the state level because federally law trumps (ha puns) any state law.

Yes someone's stance on marijuana effects how I vote because anyone against it proves to me they ignore progress and learning. Much has been discovered about health benefits people in real need of it and how its dangers were vastly overblown.
