i swear if obama starts ramping up the war against pot in these states im going to seriously consider voting gop and letting the democrat party know exactly why and how they can win me back.

END THIS STUPID WAR!!

The GOP winning elections moves the Democratic party further to the Right, not the left.

a political party that i am having huge disagreements with that i shouldnt be having because we should be on the same side. at the voting booth.

Political Party 1 disagrees with you on Issue A.

So your theory is that you will vote for Political Party 2, who also disagrees with you on Issue A.

But Political party 1 agrees with you on Issues B, C & D

Political Party 2 also disagrees with you on Issues B, C & D.

It's called voting against your best interest (A.K.A. being a moron)

i usually get the namecalling from the other side lol

take a deep breath. it will all be ok lol

1) Hemp advocates are currently one of the most effective political elements of the Dem party (as evidenced by their 50 year fight for legalization that resulted in major wins).

2) Obama alienates this motivated and politically active section of the Dem base by prosecuting them federally.

3) Hemp advocates move to the libertarian wing of the Republican party.

Again, it's a no-brainer.

Leave hemp advocates alone.

it would not surprise me to see the GOP figure out what math is once again like Obama should be in regards to legalization.

Obama has schooled the GOP with common sense and mathematics so far. Will the fear of political backlash from a dying cultural taboo overcome Obama's keen sense of math and objectivity? I guess we'll find out soon.....

Here's a tip for you. If you are trying to pretend you are a Democrat, don't call us the "democrat party".

It's the Democratic party.

Nice catch.

a more functional and just approach to the issue of cannabis legalization or at the very least logical rescheduling of that most beneficial plant.

Thanks for the thread, DonViejo.

Ask Ed Forchion, the NJ Weedman, who was recently acquitted despite clearly being guilty.

Ask prosecutors in Missoula, Montana, who complain they can't find juries to sit on pot possession cases.

They should arrest and incarcerate any DEA or other federal official attempting to interfere with state law in this regard. Period. Arrest their asses. The feds will not send in any troops to rescue these guys.

post the National Guard at marijuana retailers and force the issue with the feds.

in dialogue.

While we all (or most of us) would like a blanket decriminalization of marijuana, it's not going to happen in a vacuum.

The legislative process needs to happen quickly before a case inevitably goes before the Supreme Court where an even stricter precedent could get set.
