I am not a conservative, but I do detest progressive liberal policies for the most part especially militant feminism and identity politics.

Da fuck?
I know you are use to the dems coming in and cleaning up republicans messes but this drug war is all you.
What is your party going to do to fix it?
Did you watch 13th?
Black people have caused the ill effects in the black community. Quit having bastard babies at a 3 out of 4 rate and see just how quickly the situation improves.

What is undeniable .. I would assume even by you .. whatever relaxing or moderation of marijuana there is to come .. it will come from democrats.
Do you agree?
As long as blacks continue to falsely blame white people, things won't get better. If you're constantly looking for someone to blame, you'll never look at the real causes within your own community. Quit committing crimes as a disproportionately high rate, quit producing bastard babies at a 3/4 rate, and get an education.

I think Darla dumped him about two hours before he began posting again.
Barnstable County sheriff decided to work with ICE, County government fails to stop him.

What meaningful action are democrats taking to end the war on drugs? What meaningful action have dems taken since 1971, to end the war on drugs? List them please.

Marijuana legalization is the next great winning issue for Democrats
Marijuana is under attack.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions is ending former President Barack Obama's policy of allowing states to experiment with their own legal marijuana proposals. Instead, the issue will be left up to local U.S. attorneys, most of whom have been appointed by President Trump. At least some of the state-level experiments in fully legalized marijuana are at risk of going up in flames.
Sessions is a longtime opponent of marijuana, so no one should really be surprised that he's going after legal pot. Still, it's a terrible new policy — and it opens up a big, easy opportunity for Democrats, who must ditch their antiquated drug warrior baggage and join Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) in getting behind legal marijuana immediately.
For one thing, legal marijuana is extremely popular, and getting more so by the minute. Gallup's poll shows support for legalization increasing from 40 percent in 2008 to 64 percent as of October 2017. It's also an excellent issue for driving youth turnout — support has increased among all age cohorts, but especially among millennials, 71 percent of whom supported legalization in October 2016.
For another, it's the right thing to do on the policy merits. Getting marijuana out of the black market would be a huge blow against crime and violence — especially in Latin America, where it would take away a significant revenue stream from drug gangs. Legalization would drastically reduce structural racism in the criminal justice system, as minorities are arrested and imprisoned at vastly higher rates for marijuana possession despite similar rates of use across races (and it goes without saying that any legalization policy must include a blanket pardon for any person currently incarcerated for marijuana-only crime).
Legalization would also provide universal access to a pretty excellent medication that can treat all manner of disorders, from nausea to chronic pain to perhaps even opioid addiction.
Finally, of course, basic liberal principles suggest that citizens of a free society ought to be allowed to do what they like, so long as the negative social side effects are not too bad. Marijuana is not even one-tenth as dangerous as alcohol or tobacco, and the fact that they are legal while it is classified alongside heroin in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act reveals American drug laws to be the travesty of medicine and science they in fact are.

I repeat what I've said since the day Trump was 'elected.' Trump will be the best thing to happen for the progressive agenda in a long time. He has long-coattails that benefit all kinds of progressive causes even beyond how Hillary Clinton could.
Marijuana IS a winning issue for democrats no doubt.

Yes of course the breakdown in the family structure and loss of community had nothing to do with it.

Republican U.S. Senator, Cory Gardner, is leading the fight to legalize MJ.
I applaud Gardner, not only for his stance on marijuana, but also on his courage to stand up to Trump on issues.
Of course Gardner is a Senator from Colorado .. which says everything about that.
