Cigarettes stink too. And we let people smoke those indoors, even in restaurants while eating for a long time. And then a bunch of people complained when they couldn't smoke cigarettes indoors any more.

Just sayin.

People need to study the history of weed in the USA....Go back to the 1920's and read up on the Federal Bureau of Narcotics Harry Anslinger....The alcohol, textile, and tobacco companies lobbied the politicians and got some pretty ridiculous laws passed.

People were more naive then. The movie reefer madness had folks thinking it was the devils lettuce.

Read Jack Herer's book "The emperor wears no clothes"

Pot being schedule 1, along with heroin and such is retarded....Reschedule it, adults only, and end this insanity...It's a heckuva lot less potent than whiskey or moon, and not half as bad on the body.

Smartphones are probably worse for society than weed.

It's 4:20 somewhere.

I go to Oklahoma alot, you can definitely see a difference there between before and after. Shops everywhere, people smoking, vaping, or eating the edibles everywhere. I see people driving all the time there high. Not saying drinking is any better because it’s not and I don’t do either. I don’t want Kansas to legalize it. Whatever the reason it was outlawed whether legitimate or not other than for actual medical purposes and not the 99% fake reasons people get their cards there’s no reason for it in my opinion. Alcohol is the same way. I just don’t understand why people want to alter their perception, reality, or whatever it is they are trying to do by doing those things because nothing changed after you sober up. I have friends that drink and smoke plenty, I just don’t get it. I wouldn’t vote for to legalize it, but I also wouldn’t vote for to criminalize it if it were legal because I don’t like taking away rights people have. I am all for freedom but why fight for something that really has no benefit to productive society when there are so many things more important to fight for that would improve society is my thought when this topic comes up. Maybe I see things differently and decriminalizing it would change everything for the better for mankind.

A fella told me when CO legalized it recreationally every shatbag in the country moved there.

I talked to a sheriff deputy right across the border from Colorado a few years after they legalized it. He wasn't impressed with the trouble it had caused in his county

Just what the world needs is another class of crap faced drivers on our roads!!!!! Grrr
AND, to those dope eaters that say it's no worse than alcohol, Well Is it any better??

Well, yes, actually it is better. A lot better. Like, by a huge margin.

178,000 alcohol related deaths per year. Basically zero marijuana related deaths per year.

(I'm not a marijuana user, btw. Tried it a couple times right out of highschool. Not for me).

Give the junkies time to catch up with the juicers, shouldn't take too long.

So, a MJ user causes a fatal accident under the influence, but there's no test other than a blood test and that only tells if there has been THC in the system, but not if you're high at the time of the accident....how do you categorize that?

They tried for medical here and recreational at the same time I just laughed because it’s all the same thing in the end. It just ticks me off that places just choose the laws they want to follow then don’t bend on other, laws I fail to see the justice in that.

If folks used it in their own homes, did not try to deal the stuff or drive around high nobody would care.

There is special drug impairment training out there to determine if a DUI is taking place, simply impaired is impaired the training helps to recognize if it’s the case.

So you’re all for people growing poppy plants?

Indeed.

P.S. People already grow poppy plants. The government just tells them what they cannot do with those poppy plants.

Should never have made illegal to begin with , just a political move at the time against Mexicans coming here

In Oregon organized crime associated with it went away. There is such a glut on the market that ounces of high octane stuff sell for what they did when I was in Junior HS. Or roughly about 10-20 times less than it used to.

If it became legal federally Oregon's growers could ship it out of state.

I don't really see many more people smoking it than what there used to be around here. The glamor is gone for sure.

What about the smell test?

Living in a state where it is legal, IMO it has had very negative effects. I feel the money has corrupted our state government, crime has increased and our roads are far less safe to drive on. Thats my 2 cents.

Your thoughts on peyote then?

Lmao is huge patches of poppys planted along I-81
