Nobody goes to Jail just for possessing pot. Larry Elder talked about this; It is just another method the DNC Voters use to make us legitimize degeneracy. I agree with decriminalizing it but why should we continue to move to the left?
How is weed a right or left issue? As a matter of fact...in the Bible it says God put all seed bearing plants on the earth for mans use. So why can't we use it? But we can get shit-hammered drunk and forget everything that happened for hours?
That is not true I was arrested in tn when I was 33 years old for 3 grams of marijuana and a pack of papers the only reason I got out of it was it was a illegal search but I still had to bond out and hire a lawyer and I had no previous convictions I asked the cop if he really had to take me to jail for 3 grams and he said he didn't have too but it was officer's discretion and he was going too he was a dick head he came to a house I was renting asked for a Mexican guy that used to live there I told him he didn't live there any more he asked if he could come in and look I said no he said he had a Warren with that address so I couldn't stop him he went to my master bedroom walked through went looked under the sink then went to the closet dug around and looked under some towels and found my weed and papers he arrested me then and the dick didn't even look through the rest of the house for the guy he was supposedly looking for and also i am white and the fuckers ignored my privilege
I don’t really care one way or another, but it is certainly more in line with conservative values to all a free, open and fair Market place for a substance than use it to take liberty away from more people. And you don’t have to go to jail for weed to fuck you over. A year of drug court, a few thousand in fines can get people caught up in the criminal justice system for years.
If this were about promoting conservative values, that ultimate home/family wrecker, alcohol should be made illegal. Countries that have switched to a nearly entirely state run system of distributing very highly taxed alcohol have been very successful reducing the social costs of booze.
I don't do weed, but I have friends that do who I have known for decades before.
Also worked with pot smokers (coworkers.)
I think thc changes people by changing the lens through which they see themselves - so they don't realize they are changing, they can't see it, but it seems to make them irritable, short sighted, and mildly belligerent -- and it makes them think they are good liars even though everyone else can see through the lies.
And judging from how people literally spend their last dollar then borrow money from friends to buy pot when money they ain't got, it's obviously addictive, although again they will tell you it's not addictive (but this is one of the ways it causes them to lie to themselves.)
Addiction is a form of bondage. It may not be mechanical chains, but it's chemical chains.
And any time you have people making off of people's bondage, whether it's physical chains or chemical incarceration, THAT IS SLAVERY. Sorry, it is.
A drug pusher offering free samples of an addictive substance is no different than a slave catcher offering free snacks to entice potential slaves into the cage.
Now, in America, it is each individuals to hurt themselves however they want, as long as they don't hurt anybody else. So while I don't advice fellow Americans to hurt themselves, I recognize it is their right to do, including putting themselves into bondage to a chemical which they cannot break free of easily, possibly never will.
But for others to make millions of dollars off of that changes the whole thing into slavery.
And minors absolutely should not be allowed to be enslaved ever. Once they are 21 or whatever, then it's their choice to make.
In my opinion, a state should be allowed to outright ban recreational thc. But if a state allows recreational tch, then people should have to grow their own. Nobody should be allowed to profit from another's thc addiction.
(I feel the same way about alcohol, tabacco too. Grow it or brew it if you want it, but it should not be for sale.)
Now - it is extremely important one person's right to hurt themselves doesn't hurt another. Huge numbers of people die every year from drunk driving, and they haven't even had a drop to drink. That is absolutely terrible. And it continues.

That is so incredibly ignorant a statement I'm flabbergasted it was posted here.
Please tell me the benefits of legalizing weed. How does it help the nation and how does it help conservatism?

Prohibition is progressive, it's an excuse for more intrusive government.
