Things not understood here that bring sorrow will be understood there and joy will be all that i s felt. These things He already knows you wonder about and it will be known to you.

Maybe the government should be about protecting liberty and our sovereignty as a nation. Quit wasting all the money they take from us trying to protect us from ourselves.

My son is dead because of drugs. Is that good enough?

It needs to be repeated so..... once again. Guns do not kill people , people kill people, bad choices with guns kill people.

Its same with drugs. The drugs didn't do it. Alcohol didn't do it. Bad choices did it. (Cannabis didnt do it at all, dont confuse cannabis with bad drugs)

Some think its ok to take away a person's freedom to choose because they want to save us from ourselves. Its a person's choice for themselves within reason of course, but they dont get to dictate others freedom away.

Cannabis should of never been illegal, and now that wrong is being righted in many free states.

Spike 369 drugs are and have been Illegal. So how has that helped? Your son had no problems geting drugs and killing himself using them. I don't think if they were legal the outcome would change.

I understand you are heart broken and angry and blaming the drugs is an easy outlet. But not a single additional law would have changed a thing. But I'm sure that you can some how claim all the negative of the war o. Drugs are worth it even though your son still ended up dead by his own actions.

When my son was killed by a 19 year old that ran a red light there was someone to blame that's mistakes killed my innocent 16 month old son. If I had not been in icu 2 weeks and on a walker 5 months that guy would have been painfully killed. I know the loss of a son and feel deeply for you but emotion is not an effective stance that backs up and shows positive results . Infact you proved my point for me very well. The war on drugs is a failure and does not work.
Would you feel better if he would have drank himself to death becuse it's legal? Heck no!!

I would like see LE focus on theft and assaults. Heck you cant even fill up your pickup anymore without prepay because LE refuses to do anything to gas thieves. Tobacco use has declined considerably due to education. I have no data but I doubt alcoholism is any higher now that it was when alcohol was illegal. Prohibition accomplishes NOTHING except to provide jobs and money to MILLIONS. Instead of drug task forces we need theft task forces.

Promoting the legalization of something which we all know is destructive is about the most foolish thing I've ever heard. Legalization legitimizes drug use. Democrats want to destroy this country with climate chance malarkey and it seems libertarians want to destroy this country with drug use. All in the name of freedom of course. Lol.

So J Staton, in the Theocracy government you propose, should we bring back stoning?

You are an enabler by pushing pot. Pot is just as dangerous as alcohol whether you smoke it or eat it. The red light has nothing to do with pot or alcohol unless you left something out like he was high on pot when he ran it. The reason the war on drugs hasn't worked is because of people like you pushing lies about its safety. THC is a dangerous drug. Would you push pot if all the THC was taken out? No you wouldn't, because hemp has been grown in the US for years to make rope. It has a very low THC content. No I don't drink alcohol and I don't push it either. Someone doing pot is just as hooked as an alcoholic when they deny they are hooked. OBTW, I didn't prove any point unless that point is pot is dangerous and deadly.

Ain't that what y'all are supporting already, the stoning of 'we the people '

So spike 369 you have no issue and are ok with all the negative things the war on drugs has created even though it does nothing to stop or slow the drugs down and your son still ended up dead. Got it.

I never once pushed pot I did say I saw first hand the benefits of it when mom was going through cancer treatment. And first hand experience from when I was younger and from what I saw from decaded long heavy users pot is not addictive. When a guy that uses every day for decades realize he no longer can get high and can quit cold turkey with zero negative effects or with draws it's not addictive. Prescription drugs cause more issues than pot.. I saw from man in the fetal passion crying un able to get up and go to work when he ran out of Prescription opioid.

Bottom line you are dug in have zero facts or anything to back up your stance other than emotion and parroting what you hear with no looming into it and then questioning what you are finding.

Basically just identy politics in another fourm.

To summarize you are ok with militarization of the police, no knock warrants, asset forfeiture, filling prisons with nonviolent violent offenders and letting rapest and murders out early due to the over crouding, bloated police budgets and on and on. Even though the policies and programs do absolutely nothing to stop or slow drug use. All becuse drugs are bad and at least we are doing something doesn't mater if it's not working we must need more of that something. Govern me harder daddy. Sounds a lot like Democrats on guns and trapping. I guess you just can't get away from social programming and human nature.

Just looked it up Marijuana deaths are a handful each year compared to prescription drugs, and drinking deaths is way more than both of them put together. But once again drinking is accepted because of the money involved.

Only DemonRats smoke the Devil's Lettuce. "Conservatives" get drunk. Unless it's Bud Lite because it turns you gay.

What I'm saying is I have seen it first hand the dangers for some people who smoke pot. I was asked by a therapist to sit in on a few sessions regarding my son who was in treatment. My son said he starting smoking pot and it wasn't enough, so he got into heavier drugs. There were other people in the program who agreed with him and said the same was true with them. My kid has been in and out of treatment. His first wife divorced him because of his drug abuse. Right now, his second marriage is on the rocks for the same reason. I think your statements trying to justify pot smoking are flimsy.

Does he drink?

And I have seen first hand what drinking does.

Mine isn't yet, but it won't surprise me if he is one of these days. If you've read some of my posts on this subject. The majority of people on cocaine, opium, etc, are pot graduates. Sorry for your loss. I keep praying for my kid.

Nope and none of that has anything to do with you being a stoner or enabling the killing and maiming of our children. You have taken too many drugs to even think clearly. You are way off topic. Pot is dangerous, PERIOD! that's what this thread is about. It isn't about you showing us how much you don't know about pot!

Trapper7, I will pray for your son. Hope he figures it out before it's too late.my grandson just got out of jail for selling pot. His brain is so messed up he doesn't even know he's in trouble. Anyone supporting it doesn't have their head on straight. But you can't tell them, they won't listen. They are like providence farm. Anyway my prayers go out to you and you family.

How does anything you've said have anything to do with pot smoking? It sounds like once pot smoking is legalized we will see things like no knock warrants, defunding police, nonviolent offenders incarcerated, rapists and murders out early, etc all eliminated according to you. What does this have to do with pot smoking? Makes no sense.
