So you're saying it's wrong for people to make a living in the Cannabis industry? And it's a non profit business that gave back much to the community. I'm sure he was paid a decent salary for his work too (justifiably).
You would think it's too soon after Obama's son was killed. He doesn't give a fuck. All he does is exploit hot button issues and then uses slight of hand on another issue. Like Weinergate and taking away your right to own land if it's too rural.
Like it actually matters what a politician claims about himself. I figured, in all your supposed wisdom, that you might have realized this by now.
Really? Because polls suggest over 70% of the nation supports MMJ and 50% outright legalization.
And absolutely nothing they have done suggests this announcement will ever happen.
What you fail to see is there is no significant difference between all the candidates and they are all ignoring American popular opinion on many subjects - forget about being moral and just in their beliefs and actions.
So because they don't have the resources to go after all the little ones that means they're somehow ok now? They go after big ones because they have more assets to seize and it's a better use of resources. They will go after the little ones too in due time, unless more big ones spring up to replace the old ones (and they do tend to pop up).
He needs a trial first? What happened to your love of trials? Trials, not investigations, make reality? Why are you losing sleep over Trayvon? According to statements by -Zimmerman, he was trying to help out brother, cause he figured he was lost. Just like the government made statements, that must be true because all statements are true, against Al-awlaki.
it doesn't, but he's not even making the effort.
then i'm sure congress will be passing a bill soon.
and i'm saying that's probably a good thing in the long run. unless you think romney is going to be much better on the issue.
ummm, duh?
two local cops on patrol could go out tomorrow and shut down every dispensary in the greater portland area, it's not a matter of resources.
We're talking about the Feds. Not your locals who have different political priorities.
a kangaroo court would have lead to the exact same outcome. didn't he have a chance to come back and stand trial and defied it anyway?
so, you call off the feds and the state/county/local LEOs take their place.
My troll has been engorged by your face. Keep showing it around here smore
I won't hold my breath, but we'll see.....
So if you were him, you'd turn yourself in after the Defender of Freedom, US, already marked you? Or would you run and take your chances? Maybe just the bully Bush does that sort of thing?
Yes it is the arrival of SATIVEX from GW Pharmaceuticals at the FDA with approval about to be granted...Big Corporation Big Dollars BUY the Politicians...can't sell the $100 a piece pills if people can just grow/buy their own....THAT is the reason
Apparently you didn't read my post where I said he can't legalize through executive order. He can issue directives about HOW the drug laws are to be enforced and where resources are to be directed.
Extra bolding added. The words of the constitution say that that treaty can not override the medical marijuana laws of California - just like the 10th amendment precludes the feds from taking away states rights but you don't ever see Obama saying that. He uses the constitution as justification for what he wants (obamacare). You don't hear him using it to lift a finger for MMJ.
Maybe people in medical legal states will be able to without fear of federal repression.
SO sick of EVERY politician (including Gingrich) who admit to smoking MJ at some point in their lives but still want to throw people in jail. By their standards their own career should be over and they should've been arrested. No one EVER calls them out on that hypocracy. It's still no excuse he completely flip flopped after the election before he was pro MMJ and now after he is against.
He can't kill any citizen at any time. I don't like him and won't even accuse him of that. That was a citizen on foreign soil used as the justification. I don't agree with it at all, but no one's saying he has that right. He HAS authorized the military to arrest citizens in secret they deem as threats to the state. Last I checked Guantanamo is still open too (somehow I remember him promising to close that down in his first year).
His attorney general explicitly stated he can kill any American citizen anywhere at any time for any reason if deemed a threat by the executive. That is exactly what he stated.
