As much as I hate to say I agree with you, I do. Before we get all excited though, there are many hurdles in the way of changing Federal drug laws. The president can't do it by himself with an executive order, the laws themselves will have to be changed. Undoubtedly, there are sure to be challenges that will end up in the SC. It's a step in right direction for sure, but let's see how this plays out. I'm certain there will be some nasty strings attached to full fledged legalization/decriminalization. Now that he's trying to push through socialized medicine, I'd assume that because the "collective" is paying for everyone's healthcare, mandatory drug testing could very well be one of those strings. I wouldn't get out those pom-poms yet.
I suppose so, but I believe it is still full steam ahead now. The czar is not for legalization, sounds to me he just does not like the term "war on drugs". He says he would favor treatment over incarceration, well, we'll see. BTW, the conservative candidate I voted for is really against the war on drugs. McCain is just as big a douchbag as obama. Believe it or not med, a lot of righties on here(maybe even all of us?) do not like McCain or Bush.
So let me get this straight, Libertarians, (Which I must assume you are) are righties in the most extreme. Is that the case? I'm sorry, but that extreme will never legally hold major offices in this country. There are enough sane people to prevent that. As you all call me a commie, full well knowing that is not the case, must I then assume that all of you are Nazis? I don't. I think that you all are a bit misguided, but untill you start advocating mass killing of us lefties, I'll leave the Nazi tag out. It would behoove all of you righties to just call me and others of the left persuasion, lefties. I'll reserve "Nazi" for the real assholes, you know of whom I speak.
I didn't direct that at you personally, as I said, You know of whom I speak, there are a few on here that do just that, VI, cracker, Brutal, and Max come to mind, those stinkin Nazis, ~LOL~. Does Med-O-Mao ring any bells?
Sieg Heil
No, I'm pretty sure I'm human, but suit yourself.you're a towel.
Your ever-present desire to paint Libertarians as ultra-Right-wing is laughable. An intentional mis-characterization I would term willful ignorance.
I was about to go and make that comment, lol.Nothings changing but the name "War on Drugs" and probably
the amount of money fighting the new "Not-War on Drugs."
The feds need to get out of the way, at least as far as Pot goes.
Let the states regulate, The drug schedule needs to be revised,
schedule 1 should require a real danger of overdose leading to death or serious physical/mental trama.
Hell most drugs should have to require that before they are restricted.
I think a president could do this with an executive order.
If not a congressmen could put in a bill to revise the drug schedule.
Thats how I would attack this problem.
I would even couch it as strengthening the drug code.
That's exactly right, Johnny.
If I smoked I would
