If you are high at work, you'll get punished the same as if you were drink at work. So whats the big deal?
my grandfather smoked a pipe for about 75 years with no ill effects. not everyone who smokes gets cancer. far from it.
Bull. Shit. No one can breathe smoke for 75 years with "no" ill effects.my grandfather smoked a pipe for about 75 years with no ill effects.
it's still invasive of one's private life which I find highly sketchy. why stop there? ban alcohol for its bad effects and don't hire gays because they might get aids.
Not read the whole thread (am in a rush) but I watched Super High Me recently about the legal medical marijuana in California and it basically says state law doesn't matter, the feds can come in at any point and overrule it and you go to federal prison so even if this was a state law you could be arrested under federal law. I think. Not sure if anybody else has said this.

you're right, I'm lying. he quit about about 10 years ago. he's 85 and healthy as a horse. drinks scotch every day, eats bacon with every breakfast, and eats steak or pork for almost every dinner.
duke had it right in saying that this is a stepping stone to other states doing the sameSo I see. Repeatedly. Unless any other states jump on board this sounds like a full on failure then. Sucks that federal laws override state laws when you think you're doing something legal etc but I suppose in a way we have the same situation here with European Law having supremacy over our laws, except they don't send in their own officers to enforce it etc.
because the anti-pot industry is big and currently has a lot of people employedI kind of get the big deal, but I don't. This is capitalism people, this is a golden opportunity so why not fucking take it? More drunks take up space and money in the emergency room than ever would from weed, tax on weed would probably be much higher than tax on alcohol is. We're talking about billions of pounds worth of debt and marijuana would be a huge contribution towards cutting that debt. Money is money at the end of the day, the government taxes things much dirtier than marijuana, it's not a moral thing imo.
big pharma is probably the largest saboteur of the efforts one can only imagine. they stand to lose quite a lot.

can't expect it to happen overnight. it took decades for weed to become as illegal as it is today, changing that isn't going to be instant
