Cannabis finally on sale

[Des-Bal]

Colorado and quite a few other states have the latter legalized.

Alcohol consumption rates among teens fell, IIRC.

Lemme see if I can find my link.

Where is it illegal?

I personally believe that the dealers are just a small part of the problem.They are like a more violent version of a cashier. The real problem lies in the people who buy the drug for their own use. We should target the users not the dealers, because if you arrest a stores customers they will have no more people to sell to. We should stop all programs that target distribution, and target consumption. Lower jail sentences for dealers if they make agreements with police, 3 years at most. But for the users, no mercy, 20-30 years at most. The users are the real monsters, not the people in charge of the operation. Think about for a second, if you see a store for instance, no one is forcing you to go inside the store, so if buy something from that store, its your fault for coming in and buying something in the first place.

So citizens who purchase the illicit material should have a more harsh punishment than the one who distributes them?

Seems legit.

Well, you just proved why the War on Drugs is doomed to fail, especially when you're going to target users specifically and so harshly.

United Misotheist is probably a dealer.

Seems like it. "No mercy" for people who could be addicted, but make it easier for the "people in charge". That's a terrible policy.

No can do amigo. The dealers draw the users in, even if the users went looking for it. And the users are often victims of neglect, abuse, mistreatment, bad influences, or even mental illness. They need help. Even dealers can be given help. Producers and mob bosses, they need to pay and should have the longest sentences. Sign the deal man. These guys are chewing us up, and we need to make some sort of a stand.

I see a lot of problems with his ideas and I could put it in many situations.

Arresting people who watch child porn will not stop the distribution of child pornography.

War on Drugs does not work, legalization or decriminalization is the way.

Maybe he just realises there are more users and they're easier to find than key industry personnel.

More arrests mean laws are working, don't you know.

Don't blame me... blame my customers. Those "addicted' fiends are the ones buying it. It's not my fault...

So he's a DEA agent? That would explain why he wants higher arrest rates rather than reducing drug use.

Had no idea that there were any states without exceptions when the parents had given consent.

He's a generic corrections officer.

Funny. Last night, my family and I were talking about how we all think marijuana should be legalized everywhere and be for sale in gas stations. Congrats to all of the NS potheads.

Probably a corrections officer who grows pot on the side.

Most drug users aren't the guys who wander around with machetes collecting payments.
Usually, that's the dealers.

The only violence I see around where I live is dealers knocking over each other's growhouses.

Dealers are incredulously violent.

The dealers are at fault yes, but they are only doing their job which they most likely have to keep doing because of pressure from the ring leaders. Thy are in a way not the bad guys, the users are the bad guys. The users feed the monster, not the dealers. Its the users fault for doing drugs in the first place, and they are supplying currency to violent criminal organizations. Users should be targeted and punished harshly by authorities. The same should apply to cannabis. Cannabis users should be given at least 20 years in prison, because they are purposely and intentionally supplying these terroristic organizations with money. Cannabis should not be used as a pain a killer or other medicinal purpose, they should morphine for it like we have done for decades. People using Cannabis for medicinal purpose should be investigated heavily.

Twenty years? That costs the state a lot of money, money that could be going to education, law and order, and better programs. Regulation and taxation still make a lot more sense.

For some reason, you seem terribly familiar.

And just like that, you're gone again. Should have stayed off the forums as you stated you intended to. Because you clearly haven't learned how to participate here. Nation deleted.

Or a politician.
More arrests + harsher sentences = public approval.

Doesn't matter if it doesn't work or targets something irrelevant. The Assault Weapon Ban was popular.

Hi. Speaking as someone who had a family member on morphine for chronic pain for fifteen years.
That's a fucking stupid idea.

This is a very good day I believe. I don't smoke, and I do not believe I ever will. However, this is a step forward towards true liberty.

I'm glad we are now allowing more smoking
Can this world get any stupider. HECK lets legalize marijuana everywhere in the world for a day. All the idiots can get high and end up killing themselves.

You do know cannabis is less addictive than morphine... And has never killed anyone directly, unlike the latter.

And this will cost a fuckload of money, try telling that to Billy 'Fiscal Conservative' Bob (in extremo), while the cheaper alternative is legalising and regulating it.

True liberty is jailing people for smoking weed. Of course...
