What was pot before it was illegal? No law on the books suggesting it's legality or illegality. That's the grey area I'm referring to.
In AR a trapper could use a 660 style trap for beaver trapping 10 years ago. Someone inquired about their legality and now they are illegal to use. Loose lips, sink ships!

I wouldn't expect it to make sense in your delusional bubble

If the feds aren't cracking down on every state that made it legal, I would say their turning the cheek and it's in the gray then .
Legal in the state ,illegal in the fed , right in the middle of both .

Like other products before, people want to make it legal to be a legitimate product as many states are doing .

The assumption that making something that was once illegal, legal, would come with a multitude of stipulations is unique to those belonging to political parties that can't help themselves but to limit the freedom of others. It is a philosophy that goes much deeper than this weed issue. It should make one wary of any attempt by either party to repeal any unnecessary law or regulation because at face value it cannot be a full repeal, only legal with stipulations.

I would guess that "legitmate" is up for debate.

I don't have a dog in the pot fight. Not my thing, never was. But I do have a dog in the liberty fight.

No one seems to have a problem criminalizing things they don't agree with that don't effect them ... Until it's something they do agree with.

It's a slippery slope and once it starts slipping it never stops.

Look at all the bureaucratic garbage we deal with now. We all gripe about it, but we're all real quick to hand more power over to the bureaucrats.

Perhaps the conversation should shift as to why we leave it to government to signal to us what a 'legitimate' product is? Shouldn't that be left to the agreement made between the buyer and the seller? Does government need to be involved in every transaction we ever make?

What's worse is your infinite struggle to differentiate reality from fantasy

Hard to find concrete workers as it is
If they put every concrete worker around here in prison for smoking pot, there would not hardly be anybody left to work concrete at all
No joke

Guy I went to school with won a bid to pour concrete in the oil fields. The customer demanded pee tests. He lost his whole crew over it.

Mike

Many different trades would lose half of the workers if they had to be tested .
Hard to replace them with good workers also .

Agree.

If you still believe polling numbers your the last one

Well the 8 states or so ,the majority made it legal for recreation , so that must be over 50% in them states .

We vote on our state question to approve Medical Marijuana on June 26. It's about time and I expect it will pass. I have an old knee injury that needs treatment.

It will be interesting to see what Sessions actually does regarding federal enforcement. Trump has hung Sessions out before and the reversal of the Cole Memo stance smells like a political stunt.

In the summer of 2017 a Jeff Sessions led Drug Enforcement Agency decided that hemp (the same plant grown for fiber by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson) is a schedule 1 drug just like marijuana. Lucky that our founding fathers are long since dead so they won't face federal prosecution!

We used to drain oil out of pans right on the ground. That's illegal now. Good thing I don't work in construction any more.


lol

On one of the weed shows on TV, they said legally one of the two strains is not considered punishable in California , don't remember if it was Sativa or Indica .

Easiest thing to do would be take it off schedule 1 .

Used to ???

I believe the Federal government should have less power than it does. I believe the states that legalized weed even though it was a federal law were wrong. Why aint we building that wall right now ? I think that states should legalize marijuana and tax it and the money should go to schools and Emergency Medical Services both are underfunded or no funds exist for it.

Everything everybody wants is under funded .
Unless your a lobbyists!
