The Democrats vow to legalize it!

[Truth Detector]

IN the debate last night every Democrat running for office vowed to legalize weed....
Trump wont say what his position is on the stuff, but he has taken 0 action to legalize it.
I guess we know which party wants to end the silly war on drugs!

How does legalizing weed end the war on drugs or stop the drug cartels from making billions on the stuff?

So you believe people should be able to do what they want related to their own bodies without being personally responsible for the results?

To a degree and it depends on the situation. If a person gets drunk, then gets into a car accident, they should be held accountable.

What experience, I've seen that those saying "exceptions" being the type that support exceptions for personal reasons only.

Well I think national security and healthcare should be federal issues. That's not personal for me, I just think they're better handled by the fedgov.
Pretty much anything else should be a state issue.

The Trumppers love the authoritarian state that keeps marijuana illegal, that way they can control more people with the law and manage more people's lives.

How is it authoritarian? Did you call the Obama administration authoritarian? Didn't they have the same policy?

Did you call the Clinton administration authoritarian? Didn't they have the same policy?

Did you call the Carter administration authoritarian? Didn't they have the same policy?

Did you call the Kennedy administration authoritarian? Didn't they have the same policy?

If this is how you argue in a courtroom, you had to be the shittiest lawyer on the planet.

Why would it depend on the situation if you believe the choice what they do with their bodies is unrestricted? Are you saying personal responsibility is relative?

I am proud to be a part of that party. Even though I do not smoke pot. Id much rather be around people who do, than people who drink.

Why should anyone give a shit what YOU want or what YOUR preference is?

The drinking age, in most States, is 21. Someone is an adult at 18. Does that mean you believe someone is an adult at 18 or 21?

I think it should be 21. But that should also be a state issue.

Should adults be allowed to do what they want with their own bodies?

Should they be allowed to drive at any speed they feel like?

Should they be allowed to drive under the influence?

Would it be okay if young kids do drugs?

[Truth Detector]

While I believe that ALL drugs should be legal, I do think it should be a state issue, not a federal one.

So shooting up heroine or snorting crack is A OK?

Well I think national security and healthcare should be federal issues. That's not personal for me, I just think they're better handled by the fedgov.
Pretty much anything else should be a state issue.

While national security is based within the Constitution, healthcare is not. That means you personally want the federal government to handle healthcare not something for which they have a delegated authority.

[Truth Detector]

I have noticed that. I guess it could be a coincidence, but I suspect they are just being selective

...or hypocrites.

[Truth Detector]

Well yeah, he's an Authoritarian.

How so?

[CFM]

I think it should be 21. But that should also be a state issue.

Seems the laws disagree with you since 18 is considered an adult.

Why do you think it should be a state issue?

[Truth Detector]

IMO, for most issues. Of course there are exceptions, but I generally think things should be left to the states.

Like Abortion was before Roe V Wade?

If they eliminate DUI laws, do you believe drunk driving will stay at the current rates?
