Republican Support for Marijuana???

Kathleen Parker: Legalizing Pot May Be Women’s Work
[Note: Kathleen Parker is a syndicated columnist. Her most recent commentary, spotlighting NORML-ally Jessica Corry, ran in newspapers across the country under various headlines.]
Today’s activist, more likely, doesn’t have facial hair, but she does have kids.
Lately to the smallish conservative crowd, notably once led by anti-prohibitionist William F. Buckley, is Jessica Corry of Colorado, a married, pro-life Republican mom, soon to be “freedom fighter of the month” in High Times magazine.
Recent partakers undoubtedly will have to rub their eyes for a double take when they spot Corry, who spoke last month at a NORML conference (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) in San Francisco, wearing an American flag lapel pin, a triple strand of pearls and a gold marijuana leaf pin.
Another day, another stereotype in the dust bin.

I think the support for marijuana legalization should be a complete non partisan issue.

I'm glad to see more republicans getting on board.

 

[kappainf]

I'm glad too. Never would have thought a republican, female, pro-lifer would be supporting cannabis. Go figure.

 

[Anjinsan]

Newsflash: Republicans like pot too.

 

[NoDrama]

Human beings like pot. Just like everyone likes food.

 

[libs r scared!]

republicans are the only chance of legalizing dope. folks just dont take clueless libs seriously. dopers ought to be kissing republicans asses if yall ever wanna see it legal.

I don't know, I feel like the dems and repubs both suck. I think both groups have very similar agendas. Power, money, and control. For the gov't, by the gov't.

I think you are absolutely Correct in your assumption!

 

[macinnis]

Just imagine the BS that would come out of FOX Noise if a Dem were to, god forbid, propose legalization.

They used to. All the ones that believed that have been run out by the bible thumpers

The reason you don't like fox is because they challenge Obama and the administration period. Name 1 other news organization that challenges Obama and the administration.

Hahaha, you think christians ran out the republicans who were for smaller gov't. Thanks for the laugh.

Ron Paul seems once a year he proposes legalization.
Along with Barny Frank.
Never goes anywhere.

These people can be looking right at an 80lbs MS patient
and tell them, with a straight face,
MJ has no medicinal value. (MITT ROMNEY)
You know I liked Reagon, I did.
IMO he was a good President.
But he is not the end all be all of conservative thought.
He was dead wrong about weed.

If you favor limited government you must support an end to prohabition.

Obama would he my Hero for the week if he would do this:

Executive Order
DEA directive.
Schedule 1 drug

It is the Presidents understanding
that all schedule 1 drugs must be able
to cause death due to overdoes.
Based on CDC findings and all relevent
case studies.

That executive order would effectively remove weed from the schedule one drug list.
He could do it in 10 minutes.

All the others challenge him, they just use a little thing called facts, not lies. Let's look at it another way, when did FOX ever challenge Bush during the last 8 years? FOX is just the Republican party talking points, why do you think they wanted Roger Ayles to run for President in 2012. You need to expand your sources a little more. You're coming to a tank fight with a slingshot my friend

Exactly, Rupert Murdoch has allowed all his media outlets to become sounding boards for the reps, the difference is that Fox et al don't care whether they are speaking the truth or not just as long as they are hearing their own bs propaganda.

Apparently, you don't watch fox. So how can you say fox didn't challenge bush. Expand my sources? I watch fox, cnn, read huffington post, listen to npr, Limbaugh, and my liberal american national government professor. I hear all sides, then make my own decisions. Slingshot to a tank fight, hahaha.

 

[macinnis]

whatever you say guy

 

[macinnis]

And I watch enough FOX to know it is a joke

Obama would he my Hero for the week if he would do this:

Executive Order
DEA directive.
Schedule 1 drug

It is the Presidents understanding
that all schedule 1 drugs must be able
to cause death due to overdose.
Based on CDC findings and all relevant
case studies.

though this wouldn't make him my hero, it would definitely put him on the road to being considered a rational man. i would, however, make a small adjustment in the wording so it read that "all schedule 1 drugs must be able to reasonably cause death due to overdose. one can overdose on most anything and such wording would take more than just weed off of the list. while pure thc has an ld50 of under 50 mg/kg (yes, i know no one ever gets their hands on pure thc), hallucinogenics such as mescaline and psilocin have ld50's of around 300 mg/kg and above (that's about 3/4 of an ounce to kill a 200 pound man), with practically no risk of addiction. the only deaths attributed to these substances were the result of misadventure or pre-existing conditions and their regulation is more a matter of prejudice and the need for control than any real danger.
