odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | Voters legalized Pot, period, no Doc's prescription needed, in Washington and Colorado. So, are we going to see some new State's Rights advocates? This is totally contrary to Federal law. What will we see? I am guessing the voters generally wanted the state to quit prosecuting users [and sellers] but don't expect to see shops popping up in defiance of the Feds. http://seattletimes.com/html/localnews/2019621894_elexmarijuana07m.html I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

A smart guess says the feds will bust growers and sellers but not users. Smaller-scale growers may even be left alone. If i lived there I would consider planting some for sale, though I am such a square I would not know how to go about selling it. The President is a fink. |

I am mixed. I've seen it do bad things to people but not all users. The President is a fink. |

Indeed, but like hamburgers, surely it's not the government's job to regulate what people consume? It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

Absolutely not. But the liberals should also take note of this. Or next we'll see a lot of the same "war on drugs" idiocy for things like tobacco, beef, sugar, and foie gras among other things. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Why I said I am mixed. I want as little regulation as possible. Just that weed slows you down when you are high or not, for what I have seen anyways. I would be more from dropping it from a misdemeanor to summary offense. Like a traffic ticket. I don't want it in schools and don't want it sold to kids. I find if a gateway drug not by effect but by who you socialize with. Again I am not into it so minimal effect on me. Should help the economies of some of the areas that decriminalized.
