Have it regulated like alcohol and tobacco, no driving under the influence, no smoking in places that don’t allow smoking, don’t sell to kids, otherwise no problems
Indeed. It really is simple and logical. Something that conservatives heavily screwed up on in the past. Would be glorious if Trump corrected it, and yanked the one and only thing that the Dems have to run their platform on that will actually sway votes. Trump would win in a landslide.
This is smart. Canada fell to that commie Trudeau/Castro because he promised to legalize pot. Look at Canada now. It's the laughing stock of the world. The pot smokers are zealous - they'll even rouse themselves to vote if it means legalizing pot.
I had mixed feelings about legalization because I have seen a lot of damage done to people; however, friends educated me about CBD oil, which I now make for elderly family & myself. The benefits are real.
How about no. The federal government has no business in it, declassify entirely. How do you let the States decide on it if it is still illegal but "decriminalized"?
Make it legal everywhere for medical use. Then make it so it is NOT illegal federally so the states can decide if they want recreational use. Its giving the power back to the states.
Fuck the states. Give power to the individual. Or rather they should take it.
No state has the power to infringe on natural rights, which drug use clearly is. Enumerating the bill of rights leads people to believe we only have 10 natural rights.
Some states infringe on the 2nd, yet i doubt you will claim that is a good thing “due to power being at the state level”
What state level shit should do is specifics to running their regional government, like education, instead of federal mandates. Education is pushing it, as state sponsored education also sucks.
There are certain things the states do not have the power to do. Search you without probable cause is one of those things. And there are certain reasons they do not have the power to do those things. A lot of thought went into that.
If you think about drugs, they are just compounds people choose to consume. Why should we give power to regulate that to the states? Why do states not have the power to ban firearms?
Individual liberty is above states rights. Everything isn't "states rights". Some things are just nobody's business but mine.
I agree with this. Even though Marijuana is objectively safer than alcohol, and I support people using if they want, living where it's legal (recreationally) is disgusting. The smell is everywhere, all the time. It sticks to everything!
States should be allowed to ban or restrict it how they want, simply for how fucking disgusting it is lol.
That would seal the deal for 2020. The dems would be left with their mouths hanging open saying, "That was our move".
Declassify would please most, and it isn't federally "legalizing" which would be yet another example of the federal government taking power away from the states. Historians will remember that the size & scope of the federal govt used to be flipped up until Lincoln. To free the slaves from the democrats, he had to increase the size and expand federal power bigly. if it was 80/20 states/federal, its probably 20/80 now.
It's just like DACA, an executive order to specifically not enforce an extant law. The problem with that is that a future president can use an executive order to remove a previous executive order.
Unless that president is being blocked by a 9th circuit judge or a supreme court decision.
Declassify federally and let the states decide. And do it before 2020 election.
I would legalize medically, decriminalize general and let the states decide on general use.
Bingo. Almost like, hey, federal gov't...go fuck yourself and your abuse of power. Let us decide.
Heh. Almost like, hey, state and municiple gov't....

I dunno man smells pretty good.
I don’t smoke, but that shit smells good. And I don’t smell it anywhere unless I’m next to someone that has it.
Well I don't know if you live in Portland, Eugene, or Las Vegas, but I definitely smell it everywhere in those places.

> declassify federally and let the states decide.
Is that a decision that he can make, or does it need to go through congress?
Considering that the drug is classified by the DEA and Trump is their boss I don't see why he can't do it unilaterally

doubt a president would take executive action to recriminalize pot after it was decriminalized. that’s bad politics right there
CNN: Investigation launched to determine who stole half of Sanders supporters.
The follow up report would be: “And what the hell happened to the libertarians?”
I'm hoping he's saving a bunch of goodies (like this would be) for next year.
