Well this is something I can get behind.

More politicians from the GOP are supporting legalization efforts, or at the very least, decriminalization.

Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker, and Barbara Lee have also introduced bills to reschedule marijuana, which would decriminalize it, and to get arrest and conviction records from simple possession charges expunged.

It would be nice if both parties could come together, and pass this legislation for the people of this country.

Over 60% of Americans want recreational marijuana legalized.

 

Make it happen!

Marijuana should be destroyed.  Make the penalties harsher.

Haha oh boy this makes me chuckle.. 

Posts like this make me believe that you were either born really stupid, or just became very stupid throughout your life..

 

Let me fix your post for you..

Prohibition on a plant that has medicinal value, less harmful effects than tobacco and alcohol, should be destroyed

Penalties should be almost non-existent.

[DieHardBrownsFan]

It makes you lazy, apathetic, fat, and worthless.  No medicinal effect except to the pot heads.

Such a crock of sh!t..

 

You're still believing the Reefer Madness propaganda.

 

Look up videos of people with Parkinson's, Tourette's, Anxiety, Seziures and the relief medical marijuana provides them..

You'd be surprised.

 

 

[domcucch1994]

 

[domcucch1994]

 

[domcucch1994]

But it has no medicinal value huh?

 

Get bent...

There are studies out there, you dolt...

29 states recognize it as having medicinal value.. 

How are any of these videos horseshit? 

I think the only one spewing horseshit is you buddy..

 

Prohibition will be over soon enough..

More people with backwards thinking on this are either dying out, or stopped drinking the kool-aid..

Don't worry man. He's trolling. Or dumb.

 

Either way it'll be legal in a decade or so. Old beliefs die out. New ideas get into voting age.

The country and world is going back to conservative values.  The new way is dying.  MAGA.

Negative Effects of Marijuana: Scientific Research Shows Pot is Harmful

 

Research Showing the Harmful Effects of Marijuana Use 

• 2018 study: Half of all first-time patients admitted for drug treatment worldwide are for cannabis, which therefore is even more than for heroin and cocaine combined, according to Psychological Medicine. 
• 2017 study: Violence was two-and-a-half-times more likely from pot-smokers discharged from psychiatric hospitals than from others. Canadian researchers studying U.S. patients ruled out other possible explanations such as alcohol contribution or that perhaps "violent people use cannabis", published in Frontiers in Psychiatry. 
• 2017 study: Bristol University researchers peer-reviewed study of 5,000 youths found that teens who regularly smoke pot are 26 TIMES more likely to begin using other drugs by age 21, and they're 37 TIMES more likely to be addicted to nicotine and 3 TIMES more likely to have an alcohol problem, all as compared to teens who don't smoke marijuana.
• 2017 study: The Journal of Neuroscience is identifying at the cellular neuron level how pot causes addiction and strongly interferes with the brain's sophisticated physiological reward system, which could be why Miley Cyrus and Woody Harrelson recently quit smoking dope.

Tragic. 
• 2016 study: The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Ophthalmology reports that smoking pot harms eyesight by damaging the nerves that connect your retinas to your visual cortex

Attitudes change. Spending a bigger portion of one's life drunk or high will be more and more accepted as time passes. As the percentage of the population on the dole grows people will need some way to pass the time.

Yes .. And lets not even start with how Alcohol has destroyed Families, Marriages , Job tenure.. And all if the involuntary man slaughter cases left in it's wake.. But lets pick on Pot.. Ya Know.. It just makes you laugh.. Relax.. And gives you the munchies.. It is known to help Glaucoma patients.. Help cancer patients maintain a healthy appetite.. Not to mention all of the other cool products you can make from Hemp. As an avid user myself.. It has curbed My nausea from the side effects of all the meds I take for Diabetes and Hypertension.

I am 41 now, And I wont lie and say I never got high but I will say that is NOT my drug of choice, I can't stop eating and I get really paranoid  and over think EVERYTHING, But it is not like that for everybody, I have a couple good friends who do very well and they get hi every single day after work and some times during and never have any trouble where they can't do their job or function. I have never seen anybody get violent when they were high either.
