B767 drvr: We are a nations of laws. While I do not intend to go political here our government has us so tied up in regulations we are all tripping over each other and so to refuse legalization of marijuana in comparison to the aforementioned is well ....................... .

It seems some people want to pick and chose what their laws.

I have never smoked marijuana but I have seen first hand the adverse affects.

Again opioids were produced to alleviate pain and we have an epidemic. Many companies nationwide are dealing with loss of productivity increase expenses, because of drugs and now we are going to add one more legal drug

We live in a nation that has food police and people who actually show contempt to people they view obese , etc,, not to forget how cigarette smokers are being treated as if they were criminals Isn't their far more justification for fighting again ILLEGAL RECREATIONAL USE OF MARIJUANA because of fear for the safety people and taxes of citizens that will be adversely affected if such legal use is allowed?

People will say there is/ will not be a demonstrable difference I pray God they are right but it took a while to determine that we had an opiod epidemic.

I do appreciate and respect your opinion and actually believe we are not that far apart

Personal Best Regards:

Rubicon… you're one of my favorites! :D

I mostly enjoy the neurological challenge of the banter… but the moderation really restricts the flow of ideas down to barely more than who prefers what color of balloon, and are candles festive. :ohdear:

It would be boring, however, if we all agreed with each other all of the time.

Always best wishes…


(PS… my limited interaction with pot was just as Joan Rivers in the link… an hour of absolutely gut-busting laughter, a pepperoni pizza, and a good night's sleep with no hangover. Your mileage may vary… NONE of my college friends who smoked pot flunked out, became drug addicts, abused altar boys… oops, should we go there?… all raised children and became productive members of society… a couple of doctors, lawyers, engineers, bankers, real-estate developers, etc…)

As I said, we won't all agree on this, and I think a lot of it is generational. Most of the Lawrence Welk and Johnny Carson crowd feel one way, and the Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jimmy Fallon crowd feel the other way. The polls bear this out. Sorry, but guess what's coming…?? ;)

Almost forgot to thank you for that hysterical clip! :1rotfl:

Thank you for posting that kagney!
