Just because those are bad and legal doesn’t mean it’s good to compound those issues they cause with more substances that cause problems

no it’s really not. Those same people also smoke cigarettes and drink. Are those gateway drugs too? No it’s that if your willing to do meth or heroin of course your going to do all sorts of other substances especially weaker ones.
I think an argument could be made that weed is more of a gateway drug since until recently you had to go through illicit channels to get it. Those channels most likely often had the other substances available. I could see a scenario where someone started out just with weed but either got curious or talked into the more potent stuff.
I do agree with you overall though that just because someone that is a meth head happened to smoke weed at one point t does not equal weed turns you into a meth head.

Whether people can “handle it” or not is their issue. We don’t need you mandating what other people can and cannot do

Not necessarily. Those old RINOs in Congress don't realize most R voters don't care about criminalizing weed anymore

Who is going to pay for damages and lives taken by people on marijuana? Seems crazy democrats want to take away our guns but have no problem with people taking drugs .

bruh, weed doesn't affect your mental health, probably helps it if anything. People who have mental health issues exacerbated by narcotics are smoking crack or meth, not mellowing out on weed

Was in the circles I ran in. We started with marijuana, moved on to some LSD (which was awesome), then some others kept venturing to PCP and crack (it was the early 90s). At the same time, I know plenty that stopped at just weed.
People that smoke cigarettes in 2022 are just fricking morons, do not know what to say about that.

So you've read the whole bill? I don't understand why it needs to be that long of a bill to decriminalize marijuana. I also don't trust Jerry Nadler and the other arse holes in congress to put forth a clean bill.
These are the same people that wanted banks to report on any individual who had a bank account and made transactions totaling over $600 in a year.
I'm for decriminalizing it, but I also don't trust any of these arse holes to put forth a clean bill that does what the NBC new headline says. The devil is always in the details and they lie from Jerry Nadler all the way down to the corporate press. Don't let your support for the issue cloud your judgement.

I don't have a problem with it by itself or on principle. But the obsession that kids have with it is out of hand. I went to a fast food outlet Monday night and if I had to bet, most of the kids working there were stoned.
Just a hunch.
My youngest son tells me that carts or the vape version is everywhere especially in the high schools.

Legalizing weed does not make some magical unicorn world, it will get shittier where legalized.
Despite said homeless looking zombies, Bend probably has 25 or 30 dispensaries in town and it's still an incredible place to live.
Speaking of magical unicorn worlds, tell me how not making weed legal everywhere will lead to people deciding not to smoke it anymore.
Gosh, we should try that with drugs like opiates and meth. Just make them illegal and people won't do them.

Read this entire thread carefully if you want to get an idea about what the libertarian types think is vitally important at this time in our nation.
Right now, our dementia riddled *president has us as close to war with Russia as we have been since the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Right now, hundreds of thousands of criminal illegals are pouring across our southern border every year.
Right now, we have public schools and academia convincing the children they weren't able to murder in the womb that they are homosexual, bi-sexual, pan-sexual, transgender, asexual, pretty much anything other than the boys and girls that God made them to be, and are assisting them in their illness to do permanent, irreversible damage to their bodies to support their mental illness.
Right now, we have inflation exploding. Energy costs continue to put upward pressure on the price of everything, and for the minority of people who actually work for a living in this country and pay for all the utter bullshite coming out of Washington, it's becoming more and more difficult to justify doing so, rather than just giving up and attaching to the government teat.
I can go on, but you get the idea. But by all means, let's castigate republicans in the government for opposing the decriminalization of marijuana. Let's ignore the fact that if the issue were one tenth as important for voting republicans, every one of those villainous bastards who voted against it would be out of office within the next few elections. Let's ignore the fact that these republicans most likely voted exactly how their constituents would want them to vote.
All that being said, I agree that pot should be legalized. But lets not act like it isn't the same slippery slope that gay marriage and a thousand other issues are.

Did you happen to ask any of those people if they had their first beer before they smoked their first joint? I'd be willing to be that the vast majority did.
