Trump should legalize marijuana to pacify the Left.

>>137500961
He should but he's not going to.

It's actually a pretty good strategy to do things the left wants as a right wing party, which is why the liberal party here is pushing gay marriage.

At the moment, confusing the left is our best strategy. We must get them to realise they're wrong and that their ideas don't make sense.

>>137500961
You dont shoot your wad this early. Legalization is a gaurentee of a second term though,

>>137500961
Litterally the ONLY way he gets re-elected.

>>137500961

>>137500961
Tbqh this is the next best argument I´ve heard for legalizing. I am for legal growing of hemp for the uses it has and how it would relieve deforestation. But of course the smoking is too degenerate and PFC damaging to allow.
This argument though, this is strong.

daily reminder that if you're under 25 and you smoke weed on a regular basis, you're effectively lobotomizing yourself. if he legalizes for political reasons, fine. but it doesn't mean you have to start using it or keep using it.

>>137500961
I can't wait till Electric Fence Pence starts shock therapy on you dopeheads along with gay people

>>137500961
Except actually research has shown that weed expands the mind and the fact that more people smoke it now than every before in history is why so many people have woken up to the Republican Matrix.

>>137500961
I agree with this, but he should wait until closer to the end of his term. It won't happen though, because something like that has to go through congress, and there is a 0% chance of the GOP ever voting for it.

Legalizing weed is one of the best current moves the government could make, the only thing stopping it is DEA shills and police unions who would lose funding if it became legal. Big Pharma is also in there, can't have people treating chronic pain without opiates, only a bad goy would ever use marijuana

>>137502018
That would be awesome!

It would win over lots of middle ground folks and some on the right as well.

>>137507107

Liberalism already does more harm than any illegal drug can

>>137507951
>can't have people treating chronic pain without opiates, only a bad goy would ever use marijuana

why not use CBD oil for pain treatment? it's more effective, and it doesn't get you stoned. i mean, you wouldn't just claim to be smoking weed medicinally as a pretext for getting high, would you? people wouldn't do that....right?

Retards who can't handle their subconscious shouldn't smoke weed regularly. I smoke every day and I'm the top performer at my work, have a functional "healthy" life etc. Also as stated before in the thread smoking=/=DUDE 420 LMAO culture.

>>137503653
It should be legalized and regulated like alcohol, keep it inside and don't drive after you smoke.
Think of all the young budding capitalists who would make money hand over fist putting in work, and think of all the leftist stoners who will happily pay good money to smoke weed and stay at home instead of protesting.

>>137508567
Definitely a heavy indica. Northern Lights is my guess.

>>137508890

it's not about the culture surrounding weed use (though it is highly cancerous, don't get me wrong), smoking weed habitually while your brain is still developing (roughly the age of 25) is...detrimental, to say the least. this is well established through scientific study. your anecdote means nothing.

Everyone is different. Your cherrypicked studies mean just as little as my anecdote. You're a weakminded pussy who is too afraid to delve into his own mindspace and with good reason. You should stay out.

>You're the actual retard for believing weed actually harms your brain, idiot

yeah, i'm sure you've studied the subject rigorously and arrived at an unbiased conclusion yourself. it's funny, i guarantee you have no issue citing scientific studies if they show the benefits of weed, but any study suggesting any harmful effects elicits a complete breakdown from the stoner, they'll just stick their fingers in their ears and obstinately refuse to listen.

>>137510781
>Your cherrypicked studies mean just as little as my anecdote

no, my studies mean more than your anecdote. that's why we bother with studies.

>You're a weakminded pussy

yeah because it takes a real firm, strong mind to handle weed, amirite? not like its commonly regarded as babby's first drug or anything.

>>137510946

Make up your mind,

>>137511370

why would one preclude the other? it's a cheap, easy to produce drug that you can't overdose on. it's the drug most kids experiment with first. it also has harmful effects on the adolescent brain. i don't understand why these things are contradictory in your mind (oh wait, yeah i do - because you're probably a braindead stoner).

The Republican party left me when it allowed Trump to hijack the nomination. I've always been a fiscal conservative, but now I'm realizing that for most social causes I just really don't give a shit one way or the other (marriage, marijuana, abortion, immigration, etc.)

Immigration? If corporations have you laser focused on the border, then I guess you wont be poking your noise in the H1B visa program.

I work in IT for a Fortune 500 company. When they hired 40 "engineers" from India at $36,000 a year to replace all the senior American engineers, I didn't complain about training my replacement, in fact I calmly inquired ( as any real engineer would ) what the backout plan was. So they put me in charge of the H1B disaster plan. Sure enough, 4 years later, the company lost hundreds of customers, tens of millions of dollars in lost contracts, institutional knowledge was gone for ever, many of the original the Indians hired left for other jobs and we were force to drop several lucrative sunk-cost cash-cow product lines because of the loss of the priceless talent that created those products.

Short-sighted CEOs. Penny wise and pound foolish.

So fuck off alt-rightie extremists, you were far more trouble than you were ever worth.

i mean of course it's not "100% of the time", there are several variables at play - age when you started smoking, how often you smoked, probably a genetic factor, etc. but it's not really disputed among the scientific community that habitual/regular weed use is harmful to the adolescent brain, no matter how mad that fact makes you.

>I've moved beyond your level.

Are you guys dumb? Do you not see how people are controlled through this? What happened with legalization of gay marriage? Obama held off for YEARS and wouldn't do it. Then all of the sudden he drops legalizes it, people are happy and feel like they've united and won. Then everyone forgets about it, finds something else to unite in and the cycle continues. Same thing will happen with Marijuana. Colorado makes huge revenue off of marijuana tax. States almost can't afford to.

most medicines do have side effects, and the side effects of THC/CBD may indeed be much milder than other comparable medications for the same condition. and i've never disputed that weed (really CBD oil, not "weed") has plenty of legitimate medical applications. but you only do a disservice to your own cause when you try to deny ANY potential consequences. a responsible, reasonable adult would accept and acknowledge both the benefits and the drawbacks. also, let's not lie to ourselves and try to argue that all regular weed users (especially people under 25) are doing it for medicinal purposes. that's just delusion.

>>137517154
I would say the largest drawback is the obvious negative effects of smoking anything and the killing of motivation.
