Keep carping about your weed, loser. It'll be fun watching your party of lawlessness and potheads lose control of the country tomorrow as well as in 2024. Way to be a moron focusing on winning battles instead of the war.. |
Well this aged poorly and I hate weed. |
Yup. It's very sad. Progressives better never again claim to care about marginalized communities. They are as self serving as the MAGA crowd. |
What a weird take on this. I don't understand why some people were so adamant against this. |
People want to smoke weed but don't care how legalization will affect more vulnerable communities. No leader has discussed it. No leader has planned for it. The person who hit and killed an elderly couple yesterday at the polls was tested for driving under the influence. Absent a more robust safety framework, we will have more of that. We will have more people with substance misuse disorder with no increase in treatment options. We will have an increase in Emergency Department admissions, even though they are at capacity and have been for years. We are supposed to be a smart state. Why is it so bad to plan harm mitigation strategies before legalizing it? |
I don't see it this way at all. People are going to do what people are going to do. Clearly no one should drive while intoxicated or while under the influence of any drugs but it still happens. People shouldn't drive erratically while sober or engage in road rage but it still happens. What you're basically saying here is that no one should be allowed to do X because some person somewhere is going to get hurt. Well I can make X anything, including swimming in a pool because people will drown every year. That doesn't mean X should be banned from the majority of the population because some people do X in a way that is not appropriate. |
Because they're liberals in name only who want police resources and taxpayer money wasted on prosecuting and incarcerating cannabis users and possessors simply because they don't like the product and they look negatively upon those who use it. They're much more politically aligned with conservatives and drug warrioring GQPers. These people aren't liberals. They're authoritarians, Donnie. |
You've been in this thread 24/7 the last four weeks screaming chicken little about how MJ legalization is going to ruin MD. People who drive under the influence in MD already face serious consequences and people who drive under the influence of MJ will face those same serious consequences. MD voters rejected your hysterical nonsense like "We will have an increase in Emergency Department admissions." Memo to you: Now is the time to STFU. You lost. Deal with it. |
Of course it aged poorly. MJ legalization is politically popular. Widespread legalization in most of America except for the south and the redneck states is inevitable. |

What about prohibition doesn't work aren't you getting into your thick ignorant skulls? |
You're not a progressive, left of center Democrat. Hate to break it to you. |
It’s illegal to drive under the influence. Now smoking weed will be legal. These are not incompatible statements. |
English, please. |

Genuine question:
Does this mean it will be legal for teachers and daycare workers to smoke marijuana like on their lunch breaks? |
