I’ll smoke to that. We should have dropped these draconian Drug laws for Marijhuana 30 years ago.
:rasta:
Personally, I too feel that MJ should be legalized and controled (just like alcohol)
However, I feel that BF may be biting off more than he can chew… I mean that really admire and support his stance regarding UIGEA and I hope this will not tarnish his crusade.
Either way…
A big cheers to Mr. Frank for his liberal efforts. :hattip:sincerely doubt that this will go through. as much as i think weed is harmless, most people are miseducated about it and treat smokers as drug addicts while being complacent about alcoholics.
frank’s gambling bill has more chances of passing :tongue:
Perhaps this new bill will keep the right-wing nuts busy so that the anti-UIGEA bill can get attached to an unrelated, “must-pass” piece of legislation.
IMO the decriminalize marijuana law will come to pass sooner than later. Why not make revenue off it rather than costing tax payers money to control something that they will NEVER get a handle on.
I have yet to read or hear where someone went on a killing rampage or something crazy due to smoking pot.
Currently there are states that allow the use of it for medial reasons and pushing for this.
Kudos to Congressman Barney Frank!
Never Happen!
They know once they leagalize it they will never beable to make it illegal again if they wanted too. This is an all or nothng proposition. If they do make it legal and some unforseen ramifications manifest themselves because of it. hey will never beable to go back to pre-legalization status. On this merit alone it will never happen.
I’m sure it won’t pass but its good to actually see someone introducing such a bill. It wouldn’t mean a lot since it only applies to federal penalties but it would definitely be a step in the right direction and could encourage state’s to follow suit. I do see decriminalization happening sometime in the future but I’m not sure it will be in my lifetime.

ya we were talking the other night about who was it … way back when … that decided of all the possible vices available … and weed has been around as long as drink … who was it that decided that alcohol was the vice to make legal while making pot, and all the other mind-altering/relaxing drugs illegal?
I mean it only takes a short time of being around an alcoholic … or someone that has just had too much to drink … to get the quick and unsubtle hint that alcohol is going to cause a lot more problems than would if everybody was walking around stoned.

States are already taking the lead on the issue, in many ways. It’s only a matter of time, imo. The biggest resistance will continue to be from drug companies and those profiting from illegal substances, just as it is now.

Yep, Colorado is one of the states where by providing medical proof from a doctor individuals are alowed to grow, smoke and sell it to other patients.
I have a neighbor that has a medical certificate and I went over one day and they showed me their room that was filled with plants there were taller than me! LOL :rasta:
They told me they once was stopped for speeding by the police (after leaving the “store” to make a purchase) and the officer smelled pot and asked if they had a medical certificate for it and he pulled it out to show the officer and his response was “wow, you are the first one to actually show documentation” and let him go. :Partier:
