Discount Tire gives 1 million to campaign against legalization of weed - Page 3

I think it has a lot less to do with the effects of the drug of choice and rather the discipline of the user. Plenty of drunk drivers and people who make bad decisions while intoxicated on alcohol. Weed isn't going to cause more of that. I'm not a smoker; Haven't used in over 20 years. I don't want it legalized for myself, I just think it's a logical choice in a positive direction.

Most of the arguments against it boil down to either the same laziness that people exhibit without weed or just ignorance.

There's enough states finding out now that it's a cash cow and that it doesn't have a negative effect on anything at all to legalize it. Still blows my mind how RJ Reynolds and the rest of the big tobacco companies haven't gotten into weed farming and lobbying for it all yet.

You mean we had to amend the Constitution to ban it first, then amend it again to un-ban it.

Now I want some pie.

And before all that, there was the Whiskey Rebellion. Our young Republic's first insurrection.
