We have an issue. Under the obama administration, we has a soft marijuana policy, which allowed medicinal marijuana and recreational as well. With Obama out, will a donald trump president shut down this booming marijuana industry?
I really fucking hope so
Obama's administration actually ran into conflict with the states that voted in marijuana with funding and how the banks handled the marijuana money.
legalized marijuana means fewer people in jail for non-violent offences and increased tax revenue
plus freedom
what's the problem again?
Dude...
I really doubt it. Trump is pro-business nationally and local growers could be supported in part of his immigration enforcement. Support local ganja, not Mexicunt green.
>>73443334
I doubt it, and it probably wouldn't be worth the hassle. Governments can't be indecisive like that, shows weakness and inconsistency.
Making it legal than illegal over and over again is just dumb. Once it gets legalized, its going to stay legal for a very long time.
>>73443606

I mean, it's gonna be money in the hands of the government vs money in the hands of the cartel.

Fuck off lolbertarian shill.
Legalizing marijuana has ruined my state. Noticeable increase in DUIs, more young people smoking, etc.
You don't live in a bubble, your actions effect your community. Legalized marijuana has an adverse effect on the community.
>I love the pot industry, really, I do. I love their ingenuity. These people spend all day growing and developeing while the rest of the world is growing ditch weed. It truily shows that america is great. Everybody is great.
>>73443776
It's also brought millions of dollars in revenue to the government. I don't understand how you equate people being irresponsible as a mass problem. Do you also think alcohol should be illegal? What about cigarettes? Pipe tobacco? Chew?
>>73443776
>more young people smoking
I call bullshit on that one. It's harder to get if it's illegal. A pot dealer doesn't care who he's selling to, a dispensary does.
They can do whatever they want as long as alpha-PHP stays "legal".
>>73443776
Even besides the fact, you can just replace the word marijuana in your post with alcohol and it's still a social problem you're unwilling to address.
Let me guess, you want alcohol banned too?

Trump seems to be pretty heavy into state rights so he'd probably just leave it up to them.
>>73443334
Trump is pro-business, and there is profit to be had. The decision was already made and more states left right and center are dropping the bullshit and legalizing.
Less for La Raza-bait cartel scum. More for the economy and for tax revenue. I will continue to support it's legalization.
But really, threads like this are the reason no-one is taking the right seriously. It is also why large chunks of the right are turning lolbertarian.
>>73443776
If you want to police people's consuming habits you should focus on alcohol, nicotine, and prescription pills, which actually have adverse effects. Or you could mind your own business and allow other people to consume what they want.
>>73444010
It's not like a fucking bar ou retard. In all the dispensaries I been to they actually check your license number and make you write your address.
Trump is the most likely candidate to get weed legalized.

So fucking what? Fake IDs are illegal, so combat those, not the adults getting their drug.
>>73443883
People being irresponsible isn't a mass problem? That's news to me.
Alcohol, unlike marijuana, has become a cornerstone of most cultures. If it was possible, I'd advocate for it, but it isn't.
>inb4 attempts to conflate the prohibition of alcohol with the drug war, despite very obvious differences between the two.
Cigarettes are completely different, there's a case to be made for criminalizing them if we had universal health insurance. That being said, cigarettes don't cause car accidents like alcohol or marijuana.
>>73443884
A dispensary does care. So long as you're over 21, you can buy pot. Colorado has seen, over and over, people buying marijuana from dispensaries, and selling it (Which is still illegal). More availability directly translates to more people having the ability to sell it to minors.
>>73443974
>Marijuana has a similar place in culture to alcohol.
>>73443776
Yes, because no one in the history of ever smoked and drove when it was illegal right? Right?
Same with young kids smoking, they would never do such a thing. But now that it's legal for people of a certain age it's all the rage with them...

>>73443334
>will a donald trump president shut down this booming marijuana industry?
No because Trump wants medical marijuana legal at the federal level and wants to leave recreational legalization up to the states
>>73444298
They don't? Assuming you're an expert on how it works?
Let me break this down for you.
Every time you go, they take note. These people watch you like a hawk because they know every tom, dick, and Harry are on their ass waiting for them to fuck up. You walk in a door and you're at a counter. This is your secretary. They will take your ID, name, phone, and every other information they can. Then they will mark on their computers how much times you been in. Then you wait. When the budtender is open, another magnetitized lock door will open. You walk through there and talk to the bud tender about what you want. You pay. Then you leave.
Also, fake IDs are illegal. These people can spot a fake from a mile away. They basically background check you every visit to make sure you're not fucking lying because the first time they sell underage, the government and people like you will be after them, wanting to shut them down.
>>73444644
Eh, I used to report stoners to the school police anonymously all the time, nobody suspected it was me.
Thanks to people posting things on kikebook, I also have the satisfaction of reporting people who grow marijuana illegally to the police as well.
It's legalized, and that's a mistake, but there's still enough laws surrounding it that I can have some satisfaction out of fucking over degenerates.
>>73444533
Dealing drugs in and of itself is not violent. It's just an exchange of goods. I think violence associated with drug dealing would decrease if drugs were commercially available, because legal vendors face regulations that street dealers don't.
>>73443334
>With Obama out, will a donald trump president shut down this booming marijuana industry?
why the fuck would he? last I checked he isn't a Pat Robertson 700 Club Christian conservative running on moral values.

>no one likes you, get over it :P
>>73444415
Marijuana has been smoked longer than we've been making alcohol. It's a naturally occurring plant. It's steeped itself in thousands of years of recorded human history.
>A dispensary does care.
I just said that.
>Colorado has seen, over and over, people buying marijuana from dispensaries, and selling it (Which is still illegal). More availability directly translates to more people having the ability to sell it to minors.
And the same isn't for booze as well? I could have sworn I had to get adults to buy my booze when I was a teenager growing up. Weird huh?
>>73443334
i used to be for legalization until i realized weed addicts want EVERYONE to smoke and hate people who want clean lungs and clean life
it's absolutely disgusting
pic related will be the guy warping your children's minds to give thousands of their monies to drug pushers and producers
ironically these communist morons perpetuate one of the most damned capitalist systems ever
it's really amazing
>>73444415
Marijuana has also been a corner stone in many civilizations too you fucking retard. You'd advocate for something that kills roughly three thousand people a month, but not for something that doesn't? Show me the statistics that say marijuana kills people. You can't. What about prescription meds? Those get in he hands of people everywhere, yet you fail to mention them. You would rather put money in the hands of the cartel than in the hands of the state and business owners. Because Al Capone made his fortune that way. And your little inb4 is dumb because you can't negate an argument logically using that.
You deserve a gold medal for those mental gymnastics,
>>73445068

>>73444998
>Marijuana has been smoked longer than we've been making alcohol. it's natural, etc.
Yes, but you're ignoring the fact that marijuana is not a cornerstone of Western culture when it comes to recreation. Alcohol is.
>Isn't it the same for booze as well.
The types that are attracted to dispensaries are completely different from the types that go to the liquor store.
There' a problem with adults buying alcohol for minors, but there's actual money to be made in reselling marijuana.
And again, just because something is broken, does not mean we should break it further.
>>73443334
Someone hasn't looked up trumps stance on drugs...
Pro tip: he said it ain't the federal governments job and it'll be up to the states. My boy doesn't 420 blaze it but he says its cool if you do.
>>73445220
So because it's a cornerstone of Western culture it's fine to drink yourself to death?
Why are you against marijuana exactly? Because if you're fine with alcohol killings thousands of people every year then you're not really invested in the reasons why it SHOULD be illegal, but isn't for the very simple reason that people are free to choose what they can drink and not drink.
You're not making a very good case for your argument exactly.

Good answer...there are far bigger issues than Weed legalization and as for me if I want to smoke weed im gonna do it whether it's legal or not.
All drugs but weed should be legal. Anyone caught with a seed or flake on their clothes should be executed on the spot.

kys, learn to think on your own before telling others how.
Honestly, can we just let the "noo weed is the devils plant " meme die? Younger people are going to smoke but not because it's legal or illegal but because it is seen as the "cool" thing to do in society now. who fucking cares, let the potheads smoke their life away. it means less competition for jobs, girls are more likely to sleep around thus having the amount of 30-year-old virgins decreased plus it's much safer, buying from a dispensary than your local street dealer who probably gives no fuck about what they're selling as long as they get paid.
>>73446009

>>73446278
I hit a bong until I passed out the other night and I think we should totally legalize weed not because I like it, but because anyone too weak-minded to stop doing it every day deserves the rewards they'll get as a lower-functioning member of society. It's going to be a week before I can think normally again which is why I never smoke more than once a month.

I can personally attest to that being bullshit. Distracted drivers cause many crashes. And I've seen cases where people got distracted over cigarettes and crashing their fucking car. At least a few different cases.
Some of them burned themselves, others just got distracted finding them, or lighting them, etc.
Also DUI will still be illegal even with cannabis being legal.
