Second, if republicans don’t do an about-face, and get on the right side of this now, then 2020 will be bad. If my vote comes down to conservative policies and righting a great injustice, my vote and many others will be in jeopardy. The dominos are falling, get right NOW.

KD in CA Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 While I agree with legalization, I think the Dems are mis-calculating here. There are still a lot people who just pass on grass and will be turned off by this. You can't seriously suggest you'd vote for Pocahontas or Cammy over Trump because of weed laws that are mostly ignored anyway. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Z and millennials overwhelmingly support legalization. I think it’s a huge issue. I’m a warhawk conservative and I’m fed up with the only thing that calms me down being illegal.

Lots of folks who don't smoke know someone suffering from cancer who does, and swears by it. I don't think this is the end-all-be-all issue for most, but I think it's a mistake to say it couldn't move the needle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but I think you've still got a couple generations of older people (who vote in high numbers) in those battleground states that have never tried it and would be opposed. I still think it's a net negative issue nationwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dude Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 I really think that if Trump gets ahead of this, it’ll discourage some from voting against him as much as it will for some to vote for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weed is legal in some way in nearly half the nation. Further, like I said, it’ll encourage some voters (liberal stoners) to not vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's give The_Dude a great big round of applause. Pretty sure the history books will label "I'm voting for the person that lets me get high" as the moment the Great American Experiment failed. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxx Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 if someone is going to cast their vote solely on the basis of whether or not a candidate is for or against pot, they should not be voting, at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying that’s what I’m going to do, but with all due respect lady, I can’t count the number of doors I’ve kicked in, and the number of combat missions I’ve done for this country. I’m entitled to vote however I see fit, and it’s my opinion that the votes of veterans should count for more than the votes of non-veterans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did NOT get “kicked out.” I was the perfect soldier. I joined at 18. I was an E5 by 21. I received the highest ratings on my non commissioned officer evaluation reports. I had a colonel come down from battalion and tried to convince me to re-up before I got out, but my mind was made up by then. I was the perfect soldier. Always early. Always smarter. Always professional. And always afraid of ***** up. Fear makes a soldier. My DD214 is perfect. And, after surgery I’m considering a return, not active but to the guard, with a commission.

Your habit of calling posters here some sort of female designation is insulting to females. While there may be a rare occasion to make fun of someone like Justin Trudeau or Michelle Obama and refer to them as girls, it is over the line to randomly call everyone you disagree with a lady or some type of female. If I was a female I'd kick your ass for doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
