I support legalizing weed but also wish there was some way to make stoners shut the gently caress up about how much they love smoking weed and its health benefits and did you know this and that about weed and weed and oh by the way weed IANAL but it would be great to pass a law that says 'smoke weed if you want to but shut the gently caress up about it'

Pretty funny watching a bunch of people whom have stated they haven't used pot complain that it's hard to find pot advocates who don't smoke while at the same deride all aspects of its culture (almost always anecdotal instances they personally could have avoided) and subsequently state that they, themselves, won't advocate because of said social stigmas/don't actually care. And then get surprised when it's hard for people who do use to find these special fairy people to speak out for them. I wonder why... And all this while this forum has multiple instances of people going on and on about their favorite booze like people give a poo poo. Weird that you can't find advocates of alcohol either who don't drink. The last few pages have been pretty eye rolling. As as long as stigmas exist over use of pot this poo poo will never get settled in legislature. It'll ping pong forever until the courts do something about it. Oh and as for nicotine, if you seriously think cigarettes are better than vaping then that's hosed up. I don't smoke but vaping is infinitely less nauseating to be around and if the person is already hooked on nicotine then juice is healthier than raw leaf. Leave them be to their candy flavoured hook. A whole bunch of crotchety future PC voters in this thread. drat KIDS Stretch Marx fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Feb 24, 2017 |

Theory: Habitual marijuana users are pretty ineffectual at working within the system to advocate for their preferred changes. Non-users that are capable of lobbying are doing it for money, effectively, and the groups that have the money to hire them are pharma, etc. It's not really a huge mystery.

Wouldn't it be better for the status quo if they kept it legal at the state level and super extra illegal at the federal level so the affluent white can enjoy their legal but also illegal reefer rich people make money and the feds can still find ways to use the weed excuse to oppress whoever the gently caress they want? poo poo maybe I shouldn't say that in case I give them any ideas.

Looks like they make a little under a million a day, https://502data.com/ Trudeau and Trump are saying the same thing about weed and Trudeau said it first. The idea that Trump is going to influence Trudeau to do exactly what Trudeau already said he was going to do is a little weird, they both hate recreational users. quote:“We believe that a properly regulated, controlled system will achieve both of those measures. But we haven’t brought in that properly regulated, controlled system because it’s important that we do it right in order to achieve those two specific goals.” quote:There’s two distinct issues here: medical marijuana and recreational marijuana. I think medical marijuana, I’ve said before, that the president understands the pain and suffering that many people go through, who are facing especially terminal diseases, and the comfort that some of these drugs, including medical marijuana, can bring to them. And that’s one that Congress, through a rider in [2014], put an appropriations bill saying that the Department of Justice wouldn’t be funded to go after those folks.
