not sure if stalking horse straw man or red herring...
"republican" does not automatically mean anti weed, and "democrat" does not automatically put somebody on the side of Truth Justice and the American Way. i know you love simple labels that allow you to freely hate somebody over your personal gris gris, but democrats too have, do, and will continue to support, prosecute and profit from the "war of drugs", as much as that idea pains you.
throwing out political hand grenades like "
Free-State Slave State" doesnt help your supposed cause, nor does your insistence that all who register as republicans or libertarians are fools enslaved by the ideology of their masters. your exhortations to wage "war" on the "war on drugs" is even more retarded than the "war on drugs" itself. this kind of idiocy can only lead to an infinitely recursive "
war on the war on the war on the war on drugs".
from my own local poll, we know that california's democrat majority is ALSO unready to simply attempt to fully legalize weed. does this mean california's democrats are REAL democrats, or are they secret republicans attempting to undermine liberal ideology with their fifth column of crypto-conservative infiltrators?
your silly coments about "the laws on the books" is as ill informed as your other rantings on the nature of party affiliations and the need to excommunicate everyone with an R behind their name from society.
the president has a wide array of executive powers at his disposal, from choosing an attorney general who doesnt have horse semen on his breath and who would be unwilling to prosecute a grandma over her state authorized glaucoma medicine, OR the Pharmacist who provides it, to ordering the FDA to re-examine cannabis' scheduling under the CSA, to just not appointing a fucking "drug czar" for the first time since harry ainslinger.
federal laws are prosecuted and administered by the federal executive branch and thus declining to prosecute is well within executive purview. hell if he wanted to, Gary Johnson could make a
"Pardoned!" rubber stamp and smack it on every pot case as it is presented.
the congress are the ones with no particular power to end cannabis prohibition save by repealing the Controlled Substances Act, and thats pretty unlikely since the repeal of that act would also legalize heroin, meth, cocaine, etc. and only the most outre' and whackado Ultra-Libertarians would want that.
congress created the FDA and the CSA, but they have no real power over it save the power to wreck it all and make something new, or not. the executive and legislative branches are the ones with the power to change bureaucracies, and they have shown only limited interest in changing shit for the past 60+years of prohibition, regardless of party affiliation.
your partisan dogma and jingoism doesnt serve the cause you purport to embrace, thus you perform the duties of an Agent Provocateur, a narc from Co-IntelPro attempting to sucker us all into an ill conceived plan which results in us all getting busted while attempting to stage a "Smokeout" in the capitol rotunda.
also. we could have a "Smokeout" in the capitol rotunda.
