SUPPORT FOR LEGALIZING marijuana is surging among the public, as the position moves closer to the mainstream of the Democratic Party. This week, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., a politician adept at reading and responding to the public mood, introduced a bill to decriminalize cannabis at the federal level. And in some states, pot is already being taxed and regulated. Underneath that progress, however, a war is still raging. New data published here for the first time show that in at least 21 states, more people were arrested in 2016 than in 2014. Meanwhile, thousands of people who were arrested previously for what is now legal in many places continue to languish in prisons. https://theintercept.com/2018/04/20/marijuana-legalization-arrests-increase/ Edited by _g R_, Apr 21 2018, 12:57 PM.

You believe too many lying idiots on Fox News. The average pot smoker is no different than an average wine drinker. |

Governor Bill Clinton helped the CIA smuggle in tons of drugs through Arkansas in the 80's from Nicaragua, then when he was president the feds poured tons of cash to State Police and to build new state, local and federal prisons, and they passed the harshest drug laws ever and now we have the largest prison population and police state in the world. So forget about the Democrats coming to the rescue. If pedophilia was popular, Democrat Congressmen would show up to work with young boys on leashes. Edited by _g R_, Apr 22 2018, 12:31 PM.

Dems didn't have the votes in their own caucus to reform national marijuana laws, it's more likely they will next year. |

Your leap from average wine drinker to drunk driver is very ambitious and not accurate. Data from the National Epidemiological Study of Alcohol Use and Related Disorders found that adults who reported marijuana use during the first wave of the survey were more likely than adults who did not use marijuana to develop an alcohol use disorder within 3 years. t.

Hannity has nothing to do with sited data from the National Epidemiological Study of Alcohol Use and Related Disorders. You can chose to remain ignorant of the facts if you so choose. |

Ignorant of the facts ? Ask an Iraq war vet about the facts if you're unaware of them. Edited by _g R_, Apr 22 2018, 06:17 PM.

This is perfect. An anonymous troll on some obscure jagoff political site is sitting there ridiculing an ex-Special Forces guy with severe PTSD for the way he talks. You should be in Guantanamo with bright lights and Metallica One blasting repeatedly for 15 days until you admit your name is really Dick Cheney. |

Chuck Schumer knows what he's doing, going into the 2018 elections. If the bill comes up to a vote, it's going to be real uncomfortable for a lot of "I believe in state's rights except when I don't" conservatives, and will likely help help bring out the millennial vote.
