Well then- I no longer support legalization. This was a fun discussion. https://13wham.com/news/local/mayor-proposes-using-pot-revenue-for-reparations

We've also had about 100 years since prohibition to commercialize & mass produce it and make it impractical to distill your own liquor. Give it a quarter of that and Marijuana will be in the same boat. NONE of this gets to happen overnight and I think legalization is a positive step towards...

Not trying to argue here, but if Marijuana is legal, there is (by definition) no more "black market." There are unregulated and untaxed sales, sure. The product itself is not prohibited though. It's no different than paying the neighborhood kid cash to cut your lawn vs. paying a professional...

I was thinking type-o.

As long as the bongs are SAFE-compliant and 10inches or less I'm cool with it. Oh and no more than 7cc's of smoke unless at an approved smoking event and then you can hit 10cc's of volume.

Windows are porous?

Biden's firmware is long overdue for an update.

"As soon as we clean up the mess, you guys can come take pictures at the migrant facilities."

Apparently Kamala Harris is going to make Honduras great again. #MHGA

OH SHIT. They just had to ctrl+alt+delete his ass LMFAO. It's like his brain blue screened

He just said "when I first began as senator 150 years ago..."

Yeah? You strike me as someone who supports legalization.

Not trying to argue, genuinely curious: how/why will those services grow with legalization?

The black market is still prevalent but not near to the extent that it was before legalization. Hypothetically if I wanted a prostitute, I would personally chose the one that works in a clean space, is regularly tested, and is somewhat accountable for their business. It's the same reason I don't...

I don't know that the problem will "grow" in any measurable fashion. It will just be in our faces and more apparent. I have yet to meet somebody interested in trying recreational heroin but hasn't done it yet because it's illegal. Maybe this is where we disagree.

Hrm... I'll have to tell all the folks serving time for sale/distribution in NY. They will be thrilled!!!

Concentrated Cannabis is still criminal possession as is sales over 2oz (I believe). Don't get caught growing it under current law either; it's not a $250 slap on the wrist.

I agree with everything you said as far as the end-game. We have a lot of work to do in order to get there and I think maybe where we diverge is in methodology; not motive. Believe me, I am not comfortable with drug-addicts living off of the taxpayer and being allowed to make the same mistakes...

Post #23: "As long as I, as a payer of taxes, need to be forced to care for these personal choices, I against your notion of full personal choices." I, the payer of taxers, am forced to care for these personal choices (mass shootings), therefore I am against full personal choices. Drugs are...

Same here. Your line of thinking requires an assumption that drug consumption will increase because they are made legal. The reality is that states with legal MJ actually have LESS minors consuming it. I agree we spend way too much on trying to save addicts when the relapse occurrence is so...

Well homeboy who just shot up the supermarket in CO is costing taxpayers a lot. With that logic, I would think you support an AW ban. Other's poor personal choices with AR-15's sure costs a lot of taxpayer energy and money. Says who? LOL

Absolutely. We talk a lot about endless wars on here and the impact they have on the American taxpayer. The longest running war in history (and the one we've also lost the worst at) is the war on drugs. Do you not believe people have a right to do as they please with their body? Including (but...

Oh right..... I forgot how well alcohol prohibition worked in the '20's.

Organized crime prospers in a black market. Legalize said <taboo activity here> and the crime syndicates no longer have funding. Legalize all drugs, open the borders, and legalize prostitution. The Mexican cartels will go extinct in less than a year and the sex trafficking trade will all but...

Most states that have legalized have allowed cash sales.

How long before they just burn the constitution and say they lost it?

Well said. The Cuomo scandal was the proof right in front of our eyes that there is a double standard and that we the people, are no longer in control. It's all an elaborate show.

"Hello I'm Alec Baldwin and I LOVE social media..."

"You open yourself up to inspection by the FCC." What are they gonna do? Send SWAT if you refuse to let them in?

It's not though. It's already happening. We're in the first stage. Property ownership for the purpose of renting to tenants is now illegal in NY. It has been since the start of COVID. You can't evict but gov't can seize the property. It will start in big cities with massive property seizures...

When I was a kid we had bus drills in case the bus crashed or the driver became incapacitated. We had fire drills to practice evacuating the building. I remember the local FD even came with a small camping trailer that filled with smoke to simulate a fire in your house. Why aren't we doing gun...

I think someone should find it and turn in an ERPO with it.

This is my plan since NY state has deemed me unfit to chose my political affiliation. Might as well try to beat them at their own game...

I am searching for the article now. Didn't think there would be a quiz after. I also didn't think it was that farfetched that I needed to cite sources.

It's done guys. I think it was the senate majority leader that said yesterday we just need to "get back to business in government" and stop letting the sexual harassment scandals distract us. Like I promised, there will no resignation, no impeachment, and he will win again in '22. I can't...

Is it any surprise that an entire industry filled with sexual predators endorsed a fellow sexual predator? In 10 years pedophiles will be an oppressed class with their own "woke" and under-represented community. I wish I was joking.

So if I draw a picture of a nuke am I violating the NPT?

Did anyone honestly believe that the tax hikes would have been avoided when we go the money from the fed that Cuomo was asking for?

I remember a couple of months back we had a thread similar to this one where all of the pro-LE members were saying things like, "There's no such thing as a police state," or, "What is police militarization? What does it even mean? It's a made up term." Please reference this article for a...

Holy crap how can they afford to waste ammo like that?

I wish what you were saying was true, I really do.

This is all a song and dance. Remember the old adage: Bad publicity is better than no publicity. He will not be found of any wrongdoing. The investigation will conclude that he is actually a saint, incapable of any wrongdoing and the legislature has already extended his emergency powers...

Sooner or later you have to accept that the rules have changed, and this is the only way to get rid of people like Cuomo. You will never be able to vote him out. This is the next best thing. "Believe all women."

Andrea Stewart-Cousins already said that three allegations are OK. He is SAFE. One more though, and he could be in deep doo doo. Seriously how long do us civilians let this clown show go on before we take control of governing our own lives? Maybe she's using the same standard as the SAFE act- 7...

And they are not going to need the computer to tell them if your seatbelts were buckled after an accident.

I wouldn't hold your breath. Because those "black boxes" were basically designed and mandated by the federal gov't, they are about as effective as the "spill free" gas cans that dump gasoline everywhere. They record very little (if any) useful information to LE other than speed, if brakes were...

I know, I know. Just teasing. Wouldn't that be a wild ride though?

Alright, alright... Put the tin foil away guys.

Killing the dreams of every athletic school-age female. When I was in Atlanta, our district had at least one stabbing and one shooting a week. It just became commonplace. Nobody ever blamed the guns.
