Gov. Stitt declares Oklahoma special election for recreational marijuana vote

That's why you drink high gravity beer...you get stronger faster and usually laugh your *** off all night.

Have you seen any lately? All I have found is 4point sumpin.

We should have legalized it LONG ago and taxed the hell out of it.

When LEO walks up to a car window now and smells MJ, what happens? Will that change when it goes recreational? Is there still no real way to determine if someone is impaired on it? Some studies seems to say it doesn't really affect a person's driving and some say it multiplies the risk of an accident?

Some nights all I have to do is step out onto my front yard and take a whiff.

Same . . . seems to have gotten worse the last couple of weeks.

Not a fan of the taxing approach . . . especially since the gun control folks want to do the same for guns and ammo.

I find it mildly humorous that a lot of the taxes are earmarked for drug prevention efforts and education.

Yes, that's a good idea. I think we should tax the hell out of insulin, too.

MJ is still federally illegal is it not? So it was illegal for the state government to put medical MJ on the ballot in the first place. Same with recreational. That is something that should go through Congress.

I’m all for helping someone out that genuinely needs it. As has been mentioned, you get heroin from the poppy plant but you also get a lot of pain pills from it that help people with REAL pain issues.

Spare me the stats on opioid addiction. That is up to the individual. I’ve been prescribed them myself and I’m not hooked. Do I understand why people get hooked? Of course!! Those things make you feel great! Just like weed did in my misspent youth and just like alcohol did when I lived in the bottle for 5 years.

The point is is that when you “legalize” something that was formerly illegal you open the floodgates.

The medical MJ deal has never been about helping people who actually need help. That is a flat out lie. It is a classic case of “give an inch and they’ll take a mile”. It was a way to get their foot in the door. It shows you what kind of people these people are that they falsely appeal to decent people’s sense of compassion and kindness (when pushing these state questions) to further their own secret plans. Make no mistake, recreational is and has always been the goal.

Helping the few people who actually need help, help they already could have gotten in most cases from other REAL medication, is NOT worth it in the long run. PERIOD……

People living in a constant state of intoxication on a mass scale is not a good thing. “Legalizing” another intoxicant is not a good thing. Making access to an intoxicant even easier for underage kids to get a hold of is not a good thing. It’s already been alluded to but the Dems and the RINOS want a populace that doesn’t think clearly and is 1000 times more likely to be dependent on the government. While the pot heads are cultivating weed these politicians are cultivating voters.

This is not good. It never has been good and never will be good. 99% of users got a card so they can get high. No other reason. Getting high is not good. Just like getting drunk is not good.

Who drank beer in high school? Your kids and grandkids are gonna be getting it from their older friends. No doubt about that. You think that’s a good thing? You people seriously think 21 year olds having access to another intoxicant is a good thing? Use numbers are gonna go up dramatically. Weed is gonna be so widespread and the use so prevalent it will be staggering.

The self avowed Libertarians can spare me your arguments and I’ll spare you the moral and spiritual arguments that actually matter more than anything I’ve already said. Just don’t have the time right now. A person does NOT have the right to do anything they want. Period…. That’s why there are laws. I agree there are too many laws but this is where we have it right. Had it right..

I’m right, you’re wrong.


Rant over

99% of Boomers make up stats to prove their point, somehow believing their anecdotes are facts.

Gotta love the almost patented and ********... "tHErE WiL bE ZoMBiEs iN tHa StrEEtz!!" argument too.

A fat, dumb and stoned populace will not revolt against the powers that be.

Those aren't the ones that will revolt. They happily March to the Big Goobermint piper, awaiting their handouts.


How much $$$$$$ is this "special election", costing US? Instead of having on it on the general election ballot?

Could be, the pot heads won't show up for the general (and vote straight BLUE).

Political ploy (strategy), maybe?
