Or should it read: Politicians on cannabis? Don
Cannabis Use And Brain Structural Alterations Of The Cingulate Cortex In Early Psychosis (from the National Drug Prevention Alliance at drugprevent.org.uk)
For
all the pro-legalization of marijuana advocates, a telling report on the
dangers of its use.
Use,
cultivation and sale of marijuana is still a Federal crime and will remain so
because, fortunately, enough Americans know how dangerous it is and because it
is one of the few good things The Republican Party still stands for.
Libertarians and liberals are the ones driving the pro-legalization movement in
the U.S.
Politically-speaking, supporting the
legalization of dope has political consequences if you're running in The
Republican Party. Remember how Tom Tancredo got creamed by Socialist Denver
Mayor John Hickenlooper in the 2010 race for Governor of Colorado? In May of
that year, Tancredo guest-hosted a KOA Radio talk show for 3 hours where he
shocked his followers and others by coming out with the libertarian position on
legalizing dope. Tancredo conceded defeat when he saw he wasn't even winning the
conservative counties he needed to win. Now, why do you think he failed to win
those counties? Because he had to run as an Independent? No! Because he
advocated the legalization of marijuana. Republican voters are like
elephants--they don't forget!
The
states of WA and CO have gone against Federal law by legalizing its use and
cultivation nd if our Federal Government was doing its duty, it would put a stop
to this.

Donald Hank comments: I am also getting mail from libertarians who are trying to make the case that if the 'war on drugs' is failing, then legalization is the only choice. Not necessarily true and not logical.
ReplyDeleteBut I agree that the war on drugs is fake. No one is trying to stop drugs. The Mexican government is supporting the Sinaloa cartel to stop the Zetas, who are threatening the government politically. So they are giving guns to Sinaloa. Wonder what Fast and Furious was REALLY about?
I don't.
The CIA is famous for supporting the lesser of 2 evils to transform them into the greater of 2 evils. It is a suicidal idea and has caused America great harm. Maybe libertarianism is a a product of the CIA?

Comment from Wingy: years ago I worked as a waitress. One of the other waitresses used to duck out back for a 'smoke break'....Yes, she was using...she smelled 'funny' when she came back inside. The two of us were scheduled to close and the others were to leave early.
ReplyDeleteWhatever she was smoking impaired her ability to function to such a degree that when I finally slowed down I realized that I had the entire dining room of customers except for two tables she was serving.
This room seated about 200 people and it was full when I started. Her customers were asking me for things she should have already gotten them, like silverware, water, coffee, bread, THEIR DAMN DINNERS...I had to take care of my own people plus take up the slack on hers, AND, go and get her guest checks to give to her customers so they could go home...
YES, it does impair your functions no matter what those smarmy little blogs say. Hell, they are high when they write these blogs so they don't know how long it takes to do so....
