I can see why the world Biblical view would be at odds with the secular views and I think that is reflected on this post. Not surprising really.

Just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. I stand with you.

Taking your insinuations that referencing these verses out of context is supposed to mean that God gave us "grass" for our pleasure, I would respond that the vegetation that this thread refers to most likely began in Genesis 3:18 instead.

Should be legal. Let's get people out of jail who don't belong, save billions on the taxes we all pay to take care of them, and let's start being a capitalist society again.

The only reason its even illegal is because of that greedy dope Hearst. Seems silly to continue this charade 80 plus years later. It's not ruining anyone's life but the lives the justice system has ruined by labeling them criminals.

Also, I have a medical need and prescription for it here in California. But if I were to take a drug test and fail I could legally be fired and barred from collecting unemployment, even though a medical doctor has prescribed the medication. I can take all the opiates and synthetic heroin I want legally with a prescription and never get fired. But not marijuana? Please.

It depends on how you read it. And, I never said God gave us "grass" for our pleasure. So, I don't think I took anything out of context. "Seed bearing plant, seed bearing herb...." I guess everyone is free to determine what that means for themselves, right?

I know you didn't say it, but the insinuation was there. I could keep going, but I don't come here to discuss dope, I come here for the awesome vintage baseball card discussion!

No problem I look at this conversation more about "freedom" and "liberty", and it's a good talking point- I could care less about dope. But, I'm all for the people having the freedom and liberty to do it, if that's what they want to do with themselves. Same way I feel about just about everything, as long as someone is not hurting someone else in the process.

Cab Calloway, circa 1933. Enjoy!

At least this is baseball card and topic related. Proof that Topps has a sense of humor. Brandon Puffer and Jung Bong on the same rookie card

If they were sunken into couches it would be perfect!

Not to mention there are plenty of parents who don't want their kids smoking marijuana but have no problem having them take prescribed amphetamines (adderall) and don't mind taking synthetic heroin (oxycontin) when their back is bothering them. But these things have been prescribed by a doctor!

Don't forget, it should be a food issue too. Maybe Doritos.

(A reference I had to have explained to me about 4 years ago Making it newer than about 1984-5)

Alright, you guys dont get the law. Substance use/abuse is NOT a protected class like gender, race, religion and an employer can hire/fire you for anything NOT protected. We have 2 local employers that test for cigarettes and fire those that test positive. If I am the employer, dont I have the right to hire who I want? As longer as substance use is not protected, they can always test for pot. Most employers test for pot b/c theyre insurance company requires it. I am not condoning this, but check the stats on people that use antidepressants versus those that dont in regards to overall insurance costs, days missed and other employer compensation. I could see a money counter excluding these "users" someday...legally they have the right. This class needs protection.

Second, there is a ton of revenue generated. Licensing fees to users and growers, fees for dispenceries and if it were fully legal there would be a helluva tax.

Third, the same choice thats given for alcohol and cigarettes should be allowed for pot. Alcohol affects several systems in your body, damage tends to be more permanent and we know about cigarettes. POT DOES NOT NEED TO BE SMOKED TO USED! The medical movement usually ingest orally and there are vaporizers that remove a large percentage of the junk. Pot lowers your WBC count...BFD for most people.

Last, whether I have or have not ever used is no ones business...just like my choice to do what I want as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others. I could care less why someone may think its bad, immoral or should be illegal for religous or any other reason for the purpose of telling me how to lead my life. WHY DO YOU CARE WHAT I OR ANYONE ELSE DOES? I dont get it...homosexuality, pot, why would anyone care?
