DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Palus Politicus Sessions to rescind Obama-era pot rules

I would argue that this depends on whose moral standard you would be using to make that judgement. I personally see no more of a moral dilemma with pot than I do alcohol or certain prescription drug use. I have more issues with the harm caused by religion than the harm caused by pot.



Can you provide a single link showing any sort of proof that a drug cartel (I assume you mean foreign cartels and not big pharma) has had ANY part of ownership in Colorado's Legal Pot Industry?




Again, can you provide proof backing up these statements and pointing the finger at legal pot? I would like to see it and I won't accept a nutjob website.

Meanwhile in opioid-induced constipation America:

A New Jersey doctor running an illegal prescription opioid drug ring with a motorcycle gang had a member hire someone to kill his wife after she threatened to expose the scheme while trying to force him to agree to a divorce, authorities said Tuesday.

Just curious ...

Stoners butts still hurtin ... ...

I agree with you and have watched it for decades now.. but is it just me, or the pendulum larger and more volatile than it used to be? Used to swing a little this way, a little that way.. the swings seem to be getting far larger and more drastic than I remember.

It used to settle somewhere near middle once in a while too.
No more, it just swings. Compromise is a thing of the past.

climate change.

It ain't about you, bro.


Sessions: "good people don't smoke mah-wunnah..."

But opiates are fine with him... because opiates don't cause Male Nigroes ta rape White women.

Yeah, it's all or nothing Swish. All whiteys are the same. You're being very immature. I agree with you on about 90% of racial issues. And you wonder why you can't seem to actually effect any real change.

nobody said all whiteys are the same.

ive made my position quite clear. but if you and some others decided that i was saying that, then i dunno what else to do.

i know how you roll, which is why we've always been tight. but you clearly don't see that the nonsense argument you're using with the N word is on par with pointless debates such as "why is there a BET and no WET", or my favorite "why do blacks get a whole month to celebrate history and we don't".

its cool for people to fly the confederate flag, even though it means different things to different demographics, and certain groups have tried to change the meaning of what the flag represents. that kind of thinking is fine, to you.

but using the N word? nah, it's all or nothing, right? even though we've tried to change the meaning, just like them.

You're the one who keeps saying "the same demographic".

Here's the point. You keep using that phrase, but....

That same demographic passed the civil rights bill.

That same demographic fought for the North that freed the slaves.

That same demographic helped Obama become president.

I didn't expect to win some argument over the N word. I simply pointed out the perception that many see, just like I do. If you think that helps further some agenda or helps with race relations, have at it.

And since when did I think the rebel flag was a good idea? You're wrong.

I speak out any time I think differently on issues. Be it the rebel flag or anything else. I learned a long time ago that two wrongs don't make a right. That if I'm offended by what others do, acting in a way that offends them really isn't an excuse.

But you really need to quit acting as though there is some great divide here. There really isn't. I don't use the N word. I don't fly a rebel flag. I'm fully aware that if I do things that people of other cultures or races feel is a slap in the face, I'm part of the reason why race relations don't get better. I believe if everyone acted the same things could get better. So I see using the N word as a part of the problem, not a part of the solution.

I'm not going to use the excuse that other people choose to do offensive things as an excuse to do it myself. I understand that you don't feel the same way. But you really need to quit going around making it sound like our difference on this topic makes me a part of the problem. Or that the view that nobody should use the N word is expecting anyone to "bend over backwards" for anyone.

And I disagreed with your perception.

There is a divide, so I’m not acting like anything.

Right, but States don't have to enforce Federal law, nor do they have to help enforce ex. a multi agency task force.

I thought WET was code for Cinemax....

Lack of pain relief could cause white males to rape Jeff Sessions.

It really doesn't matter Pit. You enforce laws or you don't. You can't decide which ones you will and won't.

I get that this is a unpopular one to enforce for many people, but they can't have their cake and eat it without knowing all laws need to be enforced.

As I said, change the law. Don't be good with selective enforcement.

And...

Always remember and never forget
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime!

If you're a politician wanting to be re elected you do, and then there is Jury Nullification. I don't know how expensive it is to prosecute pot smokers at the federal level, but jury nullification can't be easy on the budget. If the legal states get a few of those in there favor, the people might get a little upset at money being wasted.

eeeewww...

Pretty sure I didn't need that mental image....

Pick a wrinkle?

A human that can hold a 3 day rain.

If you are counting on nullification, you don't stand a good chance. Most jurors listen to the judges instructions on what can be considered and what can't.


As I said before, if Federal law doesn't trump, then any state who doesn't want some group a vote, so be it.


You can't pick and choose which laws to follow and which laws you don't. You follow the laws of the land or you don't.

You follow the law, you break the law, or you change the law. It's that simple.

So judges illegally leave out the FACT that all criminal charges can be nullified?

The path to full legalization won't rest solely on nullification, but it's going to be an important part of getting there. Rosa Parks was put on the bus that day and told not to move, so the local NAACP could make a poster child out of her. Poster kids will be nullified, and help win the path to changing the law.

Is this true?

This is the first I've ever heard such a thing.
And I've known the Rosa Parks story since I was 6 or 7.

History.com

Guess that blows that accusation out the water.

Not a light thing to be throwing around.

indeed.
not cool.

She was on her way to a NAACP meeting when arrested and taken off the bus. I don't see that it matters anyways. It had to be done. The sooner the better.

That is a country mile removed from this:



Ted found the real story.
You fleshed out the details.

The above quoted is a flat-out lie.
#zerocred

She had also been depicted as a woman with no history of civil rights activism at the time of her arrest. Which was also false.

Comedy Central told this story on Drunk History in February 2017, and I saw it last week. True or not, in that amount of time if enough evidence existed to prove it false, I believe it would have been brought to light. I thought it was a pretty brave plan, purposely doing that during that time. I know cowards today that would probably hurt someone like her doing what she did. Sorry if you took offense.

Rescinding a single persons guideline is not rescinding an actual law.....if you don’t like a law, get it changed....don’t just ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist.

For those struggling to understand how stuff works in a society....laws TRUMP guidelines....sorry charlie

It was a convenient way for me to tie 2 important issues together. Mainly because sometime in the future, we will realize how much we mess up planet earth, and marijuana should be legal. It's a natural progression of common sense, just not realized by the powers that be today.

Shout out to Vermont. They legalized the possession of marijuana this week, without even having to put it to a vote. Mainly because they see the writing on the wall, the will of their people.

These young whipper snappers and their crazy notions, biodiversity, legalized marijuana. At 36 years of age I'm firmly planted in the middle of that demographic and the this message board. Curious as to when this becomes a non issue, just a realization.

I'm sure all of you already knows this, but 64% of Americans approve marijuana legalization, and that includes the south.

Since when does the government actually listen to the will of the people? What the majority think makes no difference. It's all about gerrymandering the system so the majority have no voice.

I agree. Though they do a better job on the state level. Hence legal medical and recreational cannabis sweeping the country state by state.

Hope KY volunteers to be picked on, and passes HB166 this year.

It is currently illegal to sell corn flakes in Ohio on Sundays.

What good would it do for someone in charge of local city or county law enforcement to enforce this law strictly on the basis of it being a state law?

Wrong. Just Columbus: https://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-hea...e-books-in-ohio

Do you think Columbus should spend taxpayer money enforcing this law?

Is there a big corn flake underground taking away tax dollars?

The Amish.
