Jealous Wants to Legalize Pot

Anonymous
Democratic candidates for governor have been running on this for years. Heather Mizeur is a good example.

It hasn’t helped them win.

Pot will be legal in Canada next week.

18+.

Zero tolerance for driving high. (We'll see how that goes)

I believe smoking bans in public places will also apply to pot.

Employers are developing their own policies regarding use before work.

Pot won't be any more or less available to kids. If they buy it now they will buy it next week. Taking their chances that it will be laced with fentanyl, same as today.

Which legal, regulated marijuana store is going to sell it laced with fentanyl?

Kids under 18 won't be able to buy it legally. Legalization won't stop them from buying on the streets. Which is where they take the chance it will be laced with fentanyl.

Point being that legal or not, if kids want pot they will buy pot.

That stuff is scary and seems to make kids lazy and not focused.


I ahree eith you PP. Look at DC struggling with the synthetic K2 overdoses, not to mention the rest of the country is struggling with heroin & opioid addiction. I support marijuana for medicinal purposes only. Marijuana for recreational use is a gateway drug for stronger drugs later down the line. Hogan just clinched my vote against Jealous.


It’s a “gateway drug” because right now it’s an illegal drug and getting it involves dealers who also sell other illegal drugs wanting to upsell their customers.

+1

If marijuana is legal, that means legal dispensaries that have to pass inspections, pay taxes, guarantee quality control of their products, etc. The K2 overdoses wouldn’t have happened with product from a legal dispensary.


We already have legal dispensaries in Maryland as marijuana is legal for medical uses ( prescribed by a doc).

We already

Yes. And if recreational marijuana was legal, the same controls would apply.

(While also, by the way, free up spaces in prisons for offenders who commit harsher crimes than having an ounce of pot on them...)


People aren’t often put in prison in Maryland for possessing small amounts of pot. Dealing it yes. Possession no. So - we’re talking about freeing up about 10 prison beds here.

The smell of weed hurts you? I dont get it, they breath air pollution all the time. What is bad about the smell of weed?


It’s stinky.


Your perfume and hair products are stinky and I prefer not to have to smell you.


If you prefer a skunky smell go live in the woods.

I’m sure my super liberal friends assume I’m voting for Jealous. But I am not.


I’m a Democrat and I just feel more comfortable with Larry Hogan.

Just fyi there with the fentanyl fake news... I think you are confusing fentanyl laces PAIN PILLS with pot. Pot is not a contender in the fenanyl laced products, bro. If it happens AT ALL it is extremely rare.

FAKE NEWS. Yawn.

I am pretty sure kids get their paws on beer, cigarettes, and other items that are totally legal for adults DESPITE the facet they are against the law so just stop.

Beer smells like skunk, not pot.

Either you have never smelled a skunk or never smoked or been around weed to say it doesn't smell like skunk. Skunk is another name for marijuana for a reason. That being said, legalizing marijuana is not much of a vote getter.

I just spent a week in a college town in Colorado where weed is legal and available everywhere. I never one time smelled it.

Very few issues poll at 60% in favor.

Pot is already legal in MD. Just get a medical card and go to a dispensery.
