Buy from the cartel -- call a "truce" in the War on Drugs. Convert the DEA into the agency that imports, regulates, distributes and taxes the cocaine. 5 hours ago, SWATeam said: Cocaine kills people So does alcohol. 4 hours ago, RochesterRob said: You know that there are people waiting to make that argument. See below ... 4 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: On a side note, all drugs are "legal" to possess in Portugal. But distribution is illegal. The concept was to make drugs a health issue instead of a criminal one. It's actually been very successful. As to your comment, some drugs are more dangerous than others. But it's also true some drugs on Schedule 1 can have medicinal value but can't be fully studied because they are on Schedule 1. (I refer to psychedelics which are showing promise in the treatment of PTSD and other mental health issues.) It might be worth reclassifying some drugs to allow study, not neccessarily legalizing them. As for pot, it's been in wide use for almost 100 years. It's relatively benign, although like any substance, it can be abused. But we tolerate the abuse of many things that have negative consequences far worse than pot because those things are "legal." The illegality of marijuana is mainly due to racial and political factors, not from any supposed harm it causes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuomo still has to get state assembly and state senate aboard to formally get the process going. I'm guessing that even if it is approved early next year the opening "date" will be much later to work out details. 9 minutes ago, Tiberius said: Some people just feel like losers--obviously--because they are losing another public policy debate. I have a feeling that this "debate" could out live us all on a national level if a lot of unintended things happen in states that legalize it. Could be the mirror opposite of alcohol in terms of legal, illegal, and then legal again. Time will tell.

billsfan89 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Good for NY, I think that while legal weed is far from all positives no negatives the positives far outweight the negatives. On the positive side of things you take away money from cartels, you bring in much more tax revenue, you create legitimate jobs, you save tax payer money not enforcing petty drug laws against adults, you keep people out of the criminal justice system, you help the opiod epidemic by offering alternatives to people. and you in the long term don't see increased drug use. There are some negatives, use among teens goes up at least in a 5-10 year period before normalizing and some studies say DUI's go up moderately. But overall I think its much better to handle the negatives of legalization than to continue with the massive negatives of prohibition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're ***** who need to stay off my lawn. I have no clue what this millennial crap they call CBD oil is. But I can say that I had smoked "hash oil" back in the 80's. People can mock pot smokers all they want. If you post out of ignorance of what it actually does ..... welp you have to ask ... who's the dumb one. I smoked like a fiend in HS when I was running Track and Cross Country and I was on the All Star team. I worked my way up to become an Engineer and now the work that I do services millions if not billions of people on Earth.
