Pot in America

[ShadowHM]

I tend to sip a glass of scotch, or Irish whiskey, when I have a brownie.

And your point was? You can mix your pleasures!:lol:

Some things need not be mixed:

Example 1: I like steak. I like cake. I don't think I'll make any steakcake any time soon. :blink:

I am guessing you have never seen this recipe? Good Stuff™! :w00t:

Example 2: I like that fleshy carnal manwoman thing. I like fixing my car. I don't mix the two activities.

Thanks for that one! Let me trade you:

John Hiatt - She runs hot for me
From the cd "Little Village"

Sittin' on the line
Tryin' to change her mind
Red light, yellow light, green light time
You're standing on it buddy
But she's chilly as a Tastee Freeze

Ease it over, son
I'll show you how she runs
Screamin'' like a demon
When the quarter mile comes
Crankcase cookin'
That's her manifold destiny

Now, she might run cold for you
She runs hot for me

CHORUS:
She runs hot for me
She runs hot for me
She runs hot for me
Now she might run cold for you
She runs hot for me

She's got a fire in her veins
That's high octane
When her heart starts pumpin'
Her cylinders are jumpin'
Then I give it to her slow
And she gives me back the low E.T.'s

Burnin' down the line
Ten seconds time
Half an hour later
I can still accelerate her
'Till we're out of Hardin County
And in another Galaxy

Now she might run cold for you
She runs hot for me

Hi,

I'll add this -- different and yet somehow the same.

The More You Pay
Don McLean

The auctioneer said, I'm not through yet,
Here's a horse the likes of which you've never seen,
And the straw hats in the sun, with a face beneath each one,
Shown doubtful and the auctioneer got mean.
Do you think that you can find a horse like this every day?
I don't think there's any better on this earth,
And the more you pay, the more it's worth.

Then out she came, a snow-white mare,
Prancin' and a dancin' in the silver sun,
They watched her from behind, as she did her bump and grind,
Walkin' naked, sad and graceful for their fun.
Oh how I wished I could afford that lady painted white,
A queen with high nobility of birth,
But the more you pay, the more it's worth.

My pockets hung with empty blues,
Silent heels were standin' on my growin' pains,
My bid was not too bad, two bits was all I had,
And the stable boy just handed me the reins.
Well the gallery went wild, and the auctioneer half smiled,
What we don't sell we shoot or give away,
'Cause the more you pay, the more it's worth.

And where was the boy, who rode on her back,
With his arms holding tight round her neck?
How tightly he clung,
When they both were young,
And fate had not let this poor girl be so
Disgraced.

The Feds under the Obama administration have signaled a cease fire in the War on Drugs, at least when it comes to fighting against medicinal use of Mary Jane. I view this as both a good thing, and a bad thing.

It would be best if the Feds actually came out and said that Wickard v. Filburn was decided wrongly, and the federal government really doesn't have the right (through the Interstate Commerce Clause) to tell a person they may or may not grow wheat sufficient to feed their own chickens. Similarly, the federal government should have no right to tell adult citizens what they can smoke. That is, I guess, until the government controls and pays for your health care. Then they will tell you what to eat, and when to exercise as well I'd guess. I'm glad to see that States are fighting back against this Federal power grab that should have been undone decades ago.

It is bad, in that what the Fed is actually saying is that while they still consider it illegal, they aren't going to bother prosecuting it anymore. This is the highest form of capriciousness and opens the federal system to abuse by selective prosecution. It also means that for the time being, people can enjoy their Cannabis, however, the next administration may again decide to prosecute the now profligate industry.

So is it possible that the under the Federal prescription drug act that the government would buy people their medicinal marijuana? Amazing. Imagine taking your time machine back to 1968 and telling the hippies that in 2009 the government will be buying you your weed.

Sorry to play necro to a dead thread, but this is relevant NOW:
http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130...708299709/

WASHINGTON — Despite 75 years of federal marijuana prohibition, the Justice Department said Thursday that states can let people use the drug, license people to grow it and even allow adults to stroll into stores and buy it — as long as the weed is kept away from kids, the black market and federal property.

Looks like the government finally saw the light (no pun intended) after a failed war on drugs. I'm interested to see how this plays out in the upcoming years. I wonder if this paves the way for complete drug de-regulation. I say it's only a matter of time:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...ailed.html

(just two of literally hundreds of articles of other countries already doing this, or thinking about it very seriously)

Besides it's been proven to work in other countries:

http://www.spiegel.de/international/euro...91060.html

http://content.time.com/time/health/arti...46,00.html

The paper, published by Cato in April, found that in the five years after personal possession was decriminalized, illegal drug use among teens in Portugal declined and rates of new HIV infections caused by sharing of dirty needles dropped, while the number of people seeking treatment for drug addiction more than doubled.

Need I even mention the success story that is Amsterdam, although it is not an entire country. Where do you think all this will lead? Do you think just marijuana will become legal in a few years, or no drugs at all? Do you think if marijuana becomes legal, that people will fight for the decriminalization of all drugs?

Absinthe and Haggis are more or less decriminalized.

ABSINTHE? So devil may care, so deliciously disreputable, so ... louche. But it’s poisonous, no? It eats your brain and drives you crazy!

Marijuana should be decriminalized at the federal level, and let states decide.

I would prefer all drug use be decriminalized. We do regulate the distribution of many drugs through the FDA. Physicians and Pharmacists should decide what is prescribed, and whatever ensures the integrity of licensing (boards) should ensure that professionals issuing prescriptions are not abusing their authority.
