That's some scary shit

We currently have enemies from Venezuela, Cuba, Northern Africa, the Middle-east, Russia, China to North Korea. These cats are the most militarized history has known and literally connect separating the globe with the same hatred of Western Civilization. Japan and Germany were separated by our then ally Russia, whom took the heaviest losses. With no draft and far from the "Greatest Generation" presiding ...

Regulatory capture is a form of political corruption that occurs when a regulatory agency, created to act in the public interest, instead advances the commercial or special concerns of interest groups that dominate the industry or sector it is charged with regulating. Regulatory capture is a form of government failure; it creates an opening for firms to behave in ways injurious to the public (e.g., producing negative externalities). The agencies are called "captured agencies".

Do you feel addicted?

You are a slave to marijuana, but at least you admit it. Do you ever forget where you left your keys? See, I bet you did, and do so regularly. Most of your memory lapses have to do with your ingestion of cannabis, or early stage Alzheimer's possibly. But, who knows, you might like not remembering what you did yesterday.

No. And what you bet is just for suckers.

And Jim if are against pot, you are not welcome here.

What a jerk, you are just patterning yourself and your fears.

I don't lose things. I am strong and fit, and hold a technical manager's job, you could not even grasp the first sentence of meaning.

You are just being an asshole now, Jim. But what else is new?

So, you are the DEA snitch?

I would not doubt it.

The U.S. political party system is a greater threat to this nation than any foreign government. They are destroying this nation from within.

There is no real scientific studies of marijuana's dependency or dangers, because those utilizing such rhetoric have criminalized the very studies, or "legally" concealed the facts of the matter with threat of force for nearly a century under the guise of Schedule I. To quote the lawyer in Eric Holder (3:50): "What's obvious to one is perhaps not obvious to another". Is truth in justice not critical?

It will only become worse when these same asshats are faced with real external threats coming home to roost. I spent a decade chasing Osama Bin Laden and their acts of war working for Bill Clinton. 911 and the Afghan War would have never occurred if he had chose the advice of his military lawyers and Generals over his domestic brethren before OBL ever returned to Kandahar. This bought and sold lawfare not only taxes us domestically, but internationally as well ...

I'm surprised the White House doesn't think the wind is blowing towards legalization. Since that's the way the Democrats and Republicans always go.

also, I'm tired of the "reaction time" BS. Which group has better reaction time, 20 year old men or 55 year old women? Which group gets into more accidents?

dont you feel good that The Brahmin In Cheif is using your tax dollars to fund this bullshit and to pay his lying, sack of shit mouthpieces to repeat his absurd beliefs?

Choomboy has decided that "Drugs are bad, MMM'kay!" and is using our own money to push his propaganda down our throats.

apparently when Barry Seotoro smokes weed, thats OK, cuz he is so strong willed and wise, he can handle it, but the rest of us are too weak to restrain ourselves.

he really does think he is better than the rest of us.

Law enforcement departments cant afford to loose the federal subsidies for drug arrests. Cannabis I believe makes up over 50% of all drug arrests. Legalization would mean loosing a lot of that money since other drugs are not anywhere near as widely used. It's easy to catch someone with cannabis, catching someone with other substances isn't as easy statistically.

Most marijuana enthusiasts often confuse addiction with physical dependency.

The physical dependency properties of marijuana are small and negligible.

But marijuana can certainly be addictive.

I would call addiction inability to stop despite severe consequences for failing to do so.

Exhibit A: Ricky Williams, running back for University of Texas then the Miami Dolphins.

He threw away a multi million per year career to smoke weed.

That is the decision of an addict.

nobody gives a shit "what you call addiction"

addiction is well defined, and you dont get to change that definition because you dont like the choices others make.

maybe Ricky Williams was a rasta and refused to give up his religious beliefs for a football contract.

maybe he was already feeling the effects of football's crippling punishment, and ddecided to quit while he was ahead.

maybe he was afraid he would be drafted by the Cleveland Browns or the Detroit Lions, and would rather work at Wendy's, cleaning up bucky's shit than live in either of those hellholes.

you just dont know.

Sorry only 42% for simple possession...

You retarded idiot! I'm sorry, that is an insult to legitimately retarded people, but I had to put it into words you would understand. MMYV is clearly a troll!

Consider all the Federal Court Houses, Federal Enforcement Agencies, Federal Incarceration/Treatment Facilities and surrounding Law Firms that would be adversely effected by integrity in the administration of this law? All those high paying jobs and their lobbies simply disappearing will never happen given the "responsibility" of our Attorney General, neither today nor tomorrow These means of taxing a society have no place in a capitalist economy under democratic rule, that is closer to Communism and will hopefully follow the same historical path in good time with education ...

Exactly! What is worse would be the inevitable headlines "Marijuana Legalization Leads To Law Enforcement Cutbacks"....

That would not be a popular headline to be responsible for as a politician. Sure individuals like ourselves would have the understanding that those resources were never needed in the first place, but social conservatives would have a very hard time swallowing that truth.
