right, so why apply a double standard, rather than just do as you say, and enforce the law, even at the medical mj clinic? It sound like they did just that, or will be shortly. No problem with that.Originally Posted by ducknwork

I am thoroughly confused. How did I advocate a double standard in any way?
That's a no-brainer! Anyone but the obnoxious drunk.
And, speaking of gateways, just think of the people that don't drink booze because they prefer pot.
If anything should be outlawed, it should be booze.
When was the last time a man beat his spouse under the influence of pot?
Or, wrecked a speeding vehicle or couldn't keep a job because of pot? Yet, we as a society condone a much more harmful substance with booze because it is part of the older culture. Why is the booze lobby/industry spending so much money to fight California's attempt to legalize it? Because they know people will gravitate to a less harmful substance!

Where do we go without great leaders for the defense of our liberties? Who will defend our right to live our lives _as we chose_ without others taking that from us? The answer is, as it should be, no one. We are the defense of our rights and should always remember that. Libertarian blogger
Please put me back on ignore.
This has nothing to do with the OP and even less to do with my answer.
I said nothing about "banning" anything.
Never.......
I identified how it can be a "gateway drug."
BTW---are you sure you remember all that stuff?

Didn't mean to imply YOU said that. In general though, that argument has been used to counter any efforts to legalize marijuana for medical purposes or otherwise.

Very big of yourself to assume I was responding to you. Don't mean to burst your bubble, and if its any consolation, I WAS ignoring you!
You're too entertaining to put on ignore....I just choose not to respond most of the time.

Oh God, not this debate again. Those people ruin it for people like myself that are legitimate card holders. They know its gonna get legalized, they are just making extra on the side. The price per oz will go down but not as much as people would like it too.
The Governator just sign a bill that will make posessing an OZ a hundred dollar fine.

Paul gets it. Half a century and untold billions of dollars wasted on the war on drugs, and there's probably more pot in this country than ever. How many stoners punch out someone they disagree with at a party? Go out and rob a liquor store at gunpoint because they ran out of weed? Shoot someone over a North Face jacket or a pair of Nikes? And most of the stoners that get pulled over for DUI are noticed because they're driving too slow. Personally, I'm favor of legalizing pot, crack, meth and all of them; people are going to abuse substances whether or not they're legal or they start out by booze or a "gateway" drug. Think of the money we'd save plus the tax revenue; we could probably have free health care.
Julie you are making way too much sense!
The war on drugs in nothing but hysteria. The money can certainly be put to better use like boarder security. Plus, we would not only get the street level pushers off the streets we would be arresting fewer people meaning tax payers would be saving $82,000 per prisoner per year in incarseration cost. Tax it and spend a small fraction on what we now spend on the war on drugs towards Drug Education. Cost savings will also occur if those suffering with pain were allowed to smoke pot as opposed to taking expensive medications with harmful side effects.

We wouldn't need as much border security if we took away the profit from the Mexican narco-cartels. Anyone read about that lake on the Tex/Mex border they control, and how they shot a vacationing couple that was boating on the lake? Just saw a short blurb in our news; I think they shot the husband and the woman was trying to get his body back to the U.S. side while they were shooting at her but had to abandon him to save her own life. I think it was last week. It sickens me that these criminals are not only crossing the border with ease, they're killing Americans.
