Yeah more Liberal dribble!
It's OK to smoke pot, it's OK to be promiscuous and have babies out of wedlock.
It's OK for single parents to live off the government and produce babies like rabbits, because that was what the government was created for, no worries we'll just raise taxes on the people who are stupid enough to work for their own money.
It's OK to use foul language every chance you get and rip cloths off women on public television.
No worries that the education system is crashing and that children are dropping out in record numbers.
It's OK that pot has been proven time and time again to be a gateway drug that when they no longer get that buzz they will move on to other more effective drugs.
It's OK to put off today that which can be done tomorrow because there's no way you say the same thing tomorrow and the next and the next.
It's all going to be OK, keep burying your head in the sand and it will all go away. If you won't stand up and fight for your beliefs it's OK, the Liberals and your Government are ready to tell you what to do and how to do it. After all, we wouldn't want you to use all them extra braincells.

What makes it a liberal or conservative issue? I am conservative and have used marijuana for decades. It is the absolute best remedy that I've found for my health issues, it is natural and there's not a damned thing wrong with it. I do not care to poison myself with chemicals, thank you very much, nor do I need "more effective drugs". It is totally ignorant to vilify marijuana, which is in reality a very useful plant.

Well, I'm so happy for you but I have seen it happen to friends, over and over. I've also had friends say the very same thing but are now stuck on meth.
Yes, I think alcohol and cigarettes fall into this category as well. Legal drugs are still drugs. If our politicians legalize marijuana even more people will be using it who don't need it, then ever before. I already have a friend in Colorado who acquired a medical marijuana card and is buying the crap for no legitimate reason other then recreation. I think medical drugs are necessary but I also feel that more testing and definitions should be applied to the theoretical use of marijuana for medical reasons. As it stands this bogus medical card is just a way to keep from going to jail for using it verses the need for medical reasons.
Your right in the fact it's not so much a party issue but liberals seem to be more into the movement. Frankly, I think our 2 party stinks and is very ineffective. Too bad we couldn't elect people on their accomplishments and who the majority would best like to represent them, other then based on party affiliations. Of course a whole different debate. On this issue of legalizing marijuana, I believe it would be a big mistake.
