If it becomes decriminalized you may be able to use it without worrying about popping a test. Now the federal ban is still an issue depending on your circumstances - that includes the 2A Certain organizations (NCAA for instance) will still keep it illegal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think the feds should re-think how they classify marijuana and it's components, but I'm also not sure legalizing it for recreational use is the best idea. Fentanyl is a legitimate pharmaceutical, and is way more dangerous when misused. It's legal to prescribe, but marijuana derivatives aren't.

Walt Longmire Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Weed was decriminalized in Alaska decades ago. It's been legal now for a few years. Piles of tax money coming in. Legal weed is bringing down prices across the board. I see no down side here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I never understood why low THC hemp was prohibited from cultivation. It's an amazing fiber for textiles. One of the main issues with recreational marijuana is knowing where it comes from. A lot of Mexican marijuana is used as a cash crop for holding up the production of narcotics, for example. Not really a problem for a guy with a plant in his basement. He's not really the issue. If you ever see a copy of the magazine High Times i imagine if those guys who grow those stunning plants were involved with food production no one would ever go hungry again. World hunger would end. Except for the guy in his basement with his own plant who just destroyed a bag of chips and four boxes of girl scout cookies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laws and restrictions very precise and seem very effective. People that smoked dope before, still smoke dope today. There hasn't been a YUGE increase of regular use..it's just out of the back alley now. 'Some' first time users but most of them don't really like it. PLUS, it really isn't cheap. Gross income of TacoBell has stayed consistent too. Peanut butter up a little. The feds need to get their collective butt outta their arses. Weed instead of Rx pain killers is a YUGE benefit. Also real benefit for those with PTSD(former military)..Too much old 20th century thought out there..'demon weed' type crap. I don't use MJ, BTW... For steve4102 above..how do ya feel about the Feds and gun control?? Living w/o pain not being addicted to something a quack doc prescribes is a basic 'right' also.

Living w/o pain not being addicted to something a quack doc prescribes is a basic 'right' also. Don't much care for any gun control legislation be it Federal, State or city. That said, I do believe in abiding by the law, whether I agree with the law or not. Everywhere we look we are seeing Democrats not only violating our laws, they are actually promoting lawlessness. Be it immigration and sanctuary cities and states, refusing to enforce Federal Drug laws, or illegally spying on American citizens. Don't like the laws, work to change them. When there is conflict between a State law and a Federal law, the Federal; law is supreme. "Legalizing" pot on the State level gives the ignorant and the uninformed a false sense of security that they cannot be prosecuted for Drug laws and firearm laws. There are numerous cases where pot growers an users were caught up in the State vs Federal firearms/pot laws. One instance was a grower in WA, he was robbed at gunpoint in his own home. He managed to free himself, grab his carry guns and shoot the bad guys. The state did not charge him with any crimes as he was the victim. The Feds however did. He was charged with Drug trafficking while in possession of a firearm. He is now a convicted felon doing time. Now, where were the State legislators and the Governor of WA, when this poor dumb ass was being carted off to prison? Where were these politicians that indicated to this dumb ass that growing pot and carrying firearm was legal? Answer, laughing their ass off as they just watched a gun owner loose his Second Amendment Rights, forever.

usnret Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Ahh, another 'it's the liberals, democrats'...more anti gun legislation was signed by Bush 2 than President Obama. Sanctuary cities nor problems with undocumented immigrants aren't new and more than a few GOP governors/Mayors have sanctuary cities. Any LEO organization that comes in contact with an undocumented person has NO requirement to tell ICE about it. THAT'S the Feds job. IF LEO doesn't tell ICE about somebody, that doesn't make them a 'sanctuary city'. BTW-President Obama deported FAR more than Bush2 did. BTW again. Enforcing immigration laws is entirely in the purview of the Feds, not any state or local government. Saying that any mayor or governor 'promotes' lawlessness is GOP talking point number?? The GOP is ignorant about the immigration issue and the Dems aren't for open borders..maybe less time watching Faux news? You and djt. Quote The Feds however did. Who was POTUS? The PRESENT DOJ, has adopted a hand's off policy toward state's MJ policy..Like it or don't..do you ever drive after having a beer after work? Breaking the law..Do you ever CCW somewhere it's not permitted? Breaking the law... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Stick Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Driving after drinking a beer isn’t against the law..... similarly, depending on where you are, carrying a gun is merely against the rules of some places, not the law. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
