Nah, leave 'er be. I'll be outa' town for the rest of the week after tonight. I'll check and see how it did on Saturday. Thanks. Excuse the wise-assed tone.

I'm glad there aren't already five threads discussing this very topic!

Anyway, I support the federal derciminalization of marijuana. Legalization could then be debated later after having implemented this. I think this is a more pragmatic way to getting to legaltization of the substance, with greater chances of meeting halfway on both sides. And even if it never gets legalized, I think it's a more reasonable state for such a substance to be listed under.

I do not support the legalization of all drugs, though. Marijuana does not affect one the same way that Cocaine, Meth, Speed, and Heroin do and thus should not be treated as such.

Drugs are bad, well so are alcohol and cigarettes, so by that logic we should get rid of those too. Anyway Prohibition proves that trying to illegalize a substance doesn't work, seeing as how unsuccessful it was.

No, because there is a viable third option not listed, and I support that one.

Any second now, someone is going to come in and make the assumption that only people who do drugs want them legalized.

I hope not. I’ve had to reprimand someone more than once for that moronic generalization.
