CNM :One of your responses


Not trying to level a personal attack here, but you yourself are the perfect example of being so misinformed by the government/media/political party, for so many years...that you can't seem to see the truth.


I know the truth and I can handle the truth but the truth doesn't seem to matter to the government, politicians, their groupies. and the media because they will create the truth for you Recall, its the dividing issue in this presidential campaign.

Markham (post 59) cited Ballotpedia. if you review this article you will note that every sponsor in the affirmative is in the Democrat camp. I guess as a backward Catholic deplorable redneck I simply can't comprehend ? But then perhaps its others who ignore the obvious nuances of this bill? I dare not go further because this is not a political thread but i can make a long list of the misinformation and damaging regulations, etc passed this past 8 years. Its why GDP can't get past 2.0%

Ummm no, that is NOT the "dividing issue."

As I mentioned, it really all goes back to the programming and brain washing one received while growing up.

You are correct, this isn't the Political Forum...so I will refrain from correcting you.

But do keep those thoughts when it reopens...so that I may more fully eviscerate those oft-cited red herrings.

All of this talk makes me dizzy, and no, I'm not a smoker or advocate of marijuana. HOWEVER, I have a brother who has MS and is in constant pain and worsening mobility. The MS has caused him stomach problems so he can't take much in the way of oral meds. For pain relief, he does smoke marijuana or makes himself cookies or brownies. It helps him. So who am I to criticize? He's gone from an active husband, father or two, grandfather of four, steelworker, charter boat captain, to a semi-invalid. In his small town in a Midwest state that won't even consider medical marijuana, he has to rely on a local dealer. His doctor has told him to use it, but he can't prescribe it. And since he's well known the police look the other way. There is a need IMHO for medical help.

I don't see how you can argue with this.

Any medicine is dangerous if used improperly. Treat medicinal use and recreation use separately. Don't withhold medicine from those who need it because of the difficulties of the war on drugs. Especially since, regardless of how you feel about recreational use of marijuana, it is far from the most dangerous drug out there.

Legalize pot for those over the age of 55 in Florida and your home will go up 25%.

Deal with those who give or sell to others under the age of 55 the same way you deal with those who give or sell alcohol to those under the age of 21.

It's not a decision based on values as long as alcohol and prescription drugs are an available alternative to unwind or relieve pain.
