Marijuana Question

[wbraswell]

There will always be people against altered states of consciousness. There still is the WCTU, that was greatly responsible for prohibition. There are problems with alcohol, there are problems with marijuana. I just don't believe in someone being made a criminal who hasn't actively commited violence, destruction, or theft. I am very curious as how authorities are going to regulate and control supply and quality. It may be a way to test contraband, and if it meets state standards, it could be purchased and moved into a "legal" state, and distributed and taxed according to law. When I was a boy in Texas, the punishment for simple possession (a felony) was 2 years to Life. A guy I knew was given 10 years probation for a roach in the ashtray of his car. A black man or hispanic would serve serious time. We have way too many people in jail now, for stupid stuff. We don't even have room for many really bad guys. It's got to change.

The key word in your thoughts seem to be "NEED".
I drink Dr Pepper ever day but do not need it---I smoked dope but did not need it---I was a heavy drinker but did not need it.
Now---I quit smokng for 10 years and it was the most miserable 10 years of my life.
Jump on me for the cigs--but not the weed or booze.
Then again--your arguements about cigs are going to roll off my back.
Enjoy is different that a need to enjoy.
Then again---I don't smoke until I want one, so that limits me to under a pack a day--most days---a road trip don't count.
Two or three beers or drinks will put you in a state of intoxication in most jurisdictions---so let's define drunk !

We have to go to Colorado in Feb. for a wedding (who schedules an outdoor wedding in Denver in February?). Being a child of the 60s, I just want to see one of the stores so I can ask, "Holy Cow, why didn't we have something like this back then."

They did-you just weren't shopping in the right place

For some their "needs" may be different?
Would you move to Colorado just to get cannabis for you kid?

KNOXVILLE (WATE) – Two-year-old Piper Koozer suffers from a rare disease called Aicardi Syndrome.
Her family has tried everything. The Knoxville natives uprooted their lives two months ago to move to Colorado. They wanted access to medical marijuana to treat their young daughter's severe seizures.

Let's get one thing straight right now! When it comes to sports, Marijuana is NOT a performance enhancing drug.

Unless your sport is Guitar Hero.
