No HERO tag?

It's really time to decriminalize the use of marijuana. I've long been a proponent of treating it like alcohol and tobacco. Sell it, tax it, profit.

BTW, I don't use it myself.

And, yes, I posted in many of these threads. I think that this is a very important topic. It is also sad that it gets easily pushed aside by those who take a hard stance against "drugs". There are more prescription drugs out there that get handed out left and right that are much more damaging and addictive.

submitter: decriminalize possession of up to 100 ounces of pot

Ummm.... no. That'd be a little over 6 pounds of pot. It's 100 grams (about 4 oz.)

Kind of like a stoner "Volstead" act.

There's got to be a clever pun in that...

The "Pothead Act?"

gustakooka: No HERO tag?

Frank's lover ran a prostitution ring in his own house.

Corrupt as any other politician.

I heard it was 100 hectares.

Finally, legislation we can all agree on.

100 ounces?!

...finally, I can fulfill my dream of building NUGZILLA.

Your corporation will still look for it on drug tests. Yay freedom.

Dude, that just went green right before my eyes.

The fact that such a large percentage of the population supports decriminalization and yet it never seems to get passed is a great example of how democracy has failed us.

Subby: smoking poles

You know who else liked to smoke Poles?

Anyway, yay! Won't get far, but at least it was brought up.

Shaggy_C: Your corporation will still look for it on drug tests. Yay freedom.

They are private tyrannies!

i agree but i find it funny that they want to keep government out of our private business

democrats legislate to protect us from physically harming ourselves, repubs try to legislate our moral salvation

both parties should fark off

So. Who hasn't?

This will NEVER pass though...sad, but true. It might make people less paranoid!

/Don't smoke
//Legalize it already

Was this timed to coincide with the Cheech and Chong reunion tour announced today?

/dope. Is there anything it can't cure?
//well yea, but it's hard to get fussed when you just want Cheezies...

Only if it the customers were cheated.

pre-emptive legalization topic for the prez candidates to talk about?


I know that myself, a libertarian leaning conservative would vote for Obama if he came out in support of decrim.

madcharlie: it'll never happen until the government sets up a system by which it can tax it.

let's hope that subby writes up the legislation.

cooooool...um...what was the question?

Great Jeorb Representative Frank.

About friggin time. I can't smoke it myself, but I can't see why it is illegal.

In the 80's. Didn't everyone?

Good for him.

Also, what is Obama's current stance on decriminalization?

You can help here MPP (new window)

Puff puff give.

We need a "Spliffy" tag.

Why does weed always smell like bad BO to me?

Seems pretty victim-less to me.

So, while the TFD thread rages about why the multiple submissions of this story weren't greenlit, the most vile and homophobic version of it pops up on the main page?

Nice.

/oh, and go fark yourself, submitter.

TossedSaladMan: Why does weed always smell like bad BO to me?

Smells like sweet freedom to me.

Shaggy_C: Your corporation will still look for it on drug tests. Yay freedom.

No doubt. Are drug tests constitutional? Well, we'll just talk about that in another thread sometime.

If that happens we can smoke reefers 24/7.

I like drugs.

Meet Us at the Stick: submitter: decriminalize possession of up to 100 ounces of pot

Ummm.... no. That'd be a little over 6 pounds of pot. It's 100 grams (about 4 oz.)

Came here to say this.
/only I was gonna use a cool word like Q-P

It's 100 GRAMS, submitter. That's like a couple of decent-sized quarter bags.

So I hear.

That's pretty cool. Even though I'm not a big smoker, I think it'd be pretty farking cool to pick up a pack of fatties along with my beer, lube, lime, and shovels.

now the above sentence applies to me...

Barney Frank was just on CNN regarding this. I didn't get a chance to listen very much, though.

I can haz QP of grass?

Stop hiding it under your nutz..

Ready_Cents: The fact that such a large percentage of the population supports decriminalization and yet it never seems to get passed is a great example of how democracy has failed us.

I think this is where someone brings up we are a republic, not a democracy.

/don't smoke but no problem legalizing it as long as companies can test and fire you for using

submitted this 10 minutes too late.

/would have been my first greenlight
//arrgh

A quote FTFA:

"The vast amount of human activity ought to be none of the government's business."

Wow. A quote that the vast majority of all Farkers can agree with, coming from a powerful Congresscritter? These are heady times, indeed.

/Puff puff pass

Sir Roderick Glossop: So, while the TFD thread rages about why the multiple submissions of this story weren't greenlit, the most vile and homophobic version of it pops up on the main page?

Nice.

/oh, and go fark yourself, submitter.


But it's funnay because Barney Frank has the ghey.

Get it?

FTA: "There have been 20 million marijuana-related arrests since 1965, he said, and 11 million since 1990, and "every 38 seconds, a marijuana smoker is arrested."

Nice to see that I am a statistic in a CNN article.

Barney Frank has been my representative since I was born.. couldn't really ask for a better rep than him

Nope, this is America, and we use patriotic American units here, not any of your communist metric crap.
