To think if the pot heads would of put their pot down for a few hrs to just vote. Then they wont have to wait for 2012 to try again. I guess pot was more important than to vote. They had their chance and blew it.
So if they legalize it where can people smoke it? They can't smoke it in the public. They can't drive and smoke. I would hope they wouldn't smoke in their houses with kids around. They legalize it and other supporters of the harder stuff will say why not coke and the other drugs. Even if you say pot isn't dangerous. They will use your argument of alcohol. They will say its just as dangerous but its legal. So no I don't see pot being legalized as if it is then it opens Pandora box.

Are those the same conservatives behind the war on drugs, DOMA, the PATRIOT Act and the mandated purchase of private health insurance?
I have to concede that so-called conservatives have renounced their small government values on DOMA and the Patriot Act, though.
I am also pretty sure, that it was the Republicans that demanded there be no public option. Thus making it "private" company to make billions.Many in GOP who oppose health insurance requirement used to favor it
In fact the GOP wrote it in 1992 as an alternative to the Clinton Health Care Reform.
You're now 0/3.
anyone have some tips on writing local politicians? theres currently two bills going through mass legislature, and I wanted to write a letter in support, but I have no clue where to begin.

1992 =/= 2010
The GOP, and a handful of Blue Dog Democrats, opposed the ObamaCare bill ultimately passed.
It's all a series of political ploys by both sides that are intended to kill the other party. None of them could give a rat's ass about the people of this country and many wouldn't hesitate to burn it down if that's what it takes to insure a steady supply of corporate funding and achieve their own political success.

In order for our nation to survive as strong as it has in the past I believe that the political parties need to disolve, but the only true way for that to ever happen will be if we change from a democratic-republic to a direct-democracy. Our nation has become increasingly single sided, and no one seems to even care about the issues anymore its become a simple popularity contest on a national level, very disappointing George Washington is probably crying in his grave.For once, we agree on something.
I believe that our two-party system just lets both sides take turns at demolishing our nation.
in case you havent noticed, marijuana prohibition is doing NOTHING but costing taxpayer money. As for "another drug people can abuse"... it's already VERY readily obtainable. In fact it's EASIER for underage people to obtain than alcohol or even cigarettes.
not to be rude, but you are obviously biased on this subject.
Like I have always said, we are stuck with tobacco and alcohol and in my view, the last thing we need to add to the mix is yet one more drug.
I am indeed biased on the subject, but so are many/most/all pro-MJ proponents. Ironic that a passionate user of MJ would cite my obvious bias without realizing that his or her pro-stance is equally biased. And NO, I am not saying you specifically are a user of the weed.

in other words, you have your OWN personal agenda, so your comment affects yourself as well.very good point, i know i am. i was referring to his "personal agenda" statement though. he's got kind of a double standard there!
I am a guy that has never used marijuana and frankly never plan to. That said, I don't have a problem with legalization. Whether it causes deaths or not is irrelevant to me. I suppose, if it is legalized, I would prefer it rolled into public intoxication and driving laws alongside alcohol simply because it can impair judgement. I don't care what a person does to him/herself behind closed doors, but if they are putting my (or anyone else's) life in danger as a result, that is completely unacceptable.
For those arguing that alcohol and tobacco are bad too, so what? Look at the obesity problem in America. Look at the high fat and high sugar foods people are tossing down their gullet. At the end of the day it is their own decision to consume in moderation or in excess. The same is true with marijuana, tobacco, alcohol, etc. You would be hard pressed to find a smoker or a drinker unaware of the risks they are taking by having just another drink or just another smoke. People are aware, plain and simple. If they want to kill themselves by consuming in excess, why do we need a government funded program to stop them?
