Massachusetts Question 4: Legailize Pot?

The article talks about how much of a problem habitual use for kids/teenagers and this is relevant to a proposal that only allows those 21 or older to use?

If we are to regulate pot like alcohol, we also need to understand its effect on kids, no? Since smoke travels, and pot is commonly smoked, check this out:

Can you promise me the smoke from weed will only go up the noses of over 21 year old non-smokers as they breath it in? I'm thinking....no.

This one's actually better. It wasn't idle panic, it was politics.

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

Gotcha. I'm not aware of physical withdrawals either. What I think the article hit on was how legalization is being sold with weed as a totally harmless product by its advocates. I'm sure many of us knew people, be it in high school or college, who dedicated their lives to smoking pot. Its got to have some addictive properties to it like any hallucinogen might.

Ummm....it doesn't say that at all Kep. Sugar has THC in it? Then why don't stoners just smoke a box of Domino from the super market? :D

It makes you feel good. Anything that makes you feel good is something you will want again. That is the addictive property. ;)

Posting that as I sit here at the Church Of Old Chicago having a beer with my lunch. :D

The reefer is harmful. No doubt about that. Just like alcohol, nicotine, etc. It is just harmful in different ways when used in excess.

Shifting the goalposts again? I warned you. Caution for Unsporting Behavior. That's two, here's your red card.

You aren't very good at answering questions that challenge your pot advocacy, are you?

"BUT WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER MY QUESTIONS (about Benghazi, emails, etc.)" is basically what you're doing here.

Already answered the questions about smoke. Not my fault you're too lazy to go back and read them.

I want credit for resisting the temptation to draw a parallel between the most vociferous Sanders supporters and the most strident pro-pot advocates! :D
