Breckenridge Pot Vote | Minot KXNet.com North Dakota News Talk Forums

I have had a number of friends growing up in North Dakota.  More than my share of friends have died from drinking and driving.  Their lives were out of control and they affected themselves, family , and friends to people they did not even know,  long before and long after their deaths. 

I do believe marijuana to be the wiser choise over alcohol and tobacco which have physical side effects,  compared to phycological dependency of pot.  As far as I am concerened I dont see the reason for jailing someone who makes a choice untill they have done something actually criminal instead of being straped and saddled into a law that absolutely makes no common scense .  

That is funny cause you can smoke a haystack of pot and you only get so stoned and still drive the obstacle course.  Willy it is plain as the nose on your face you dont know what your talking about.  That is pure prehistoric thinking that went out way back there. The only bad thing they have found with pot is genetic effects.  Your children will be born with one big eye and the worst thing is they will be blind.  It does not impair ones driving.  If it did there would be a DWS ticket given out for driving  while stoned.  Get it that is old demagog thinking the kind that leaves in the 19 century.

What I am afraid of is there are still people like you out there endangering us all with that kind of thinking !

DFW,  I tend to agree with you.   Stay off the streets, stay out of the surgury dept, stay out of the ****pit,  stay OFF WELFARE.

Wouldn't you think most pot smokers are do nothings that do sit home and collect a check... I think so.

Its just old way of thinking.  Hideing a problem is never a good thing, people do not belong off the streets, that is where the shops are, where money is spent and earned,  Economics 101.  Not everyone who drinks belongs off the street ,there are people who can drink and handle better than others. Not all drinkers drink and drive or even cause an accident and I am sure there are those on drugs the same.  Not all people who drink are on welfare and not all on welfare people are drinkers.  

I think we are thinking of that drug addict in the abandoned apt building with a mattress and nothing else.  Wasnt any mexican brown around, all we had was Tia and Cambodian Red.    Unless you were there at the time I  dont see how one would know if one is better or not.  

 I was on welfare one time in my life and I couldnt afford cigarettes let alone pot , so I think this may be a stigma.  

Shop, what an evil corrupt mind ?  I wasnt on welfare long, but i gained 25 lbs back to my regular weight so was much appreciated at the time.  I want to reapply because I liked it.  But I never sold , guess i'd have had to sell the card they give you and I wouldnt have done that.

I was never aware; however, of aliens collecting checks from welfare.  This program must not be available for disabled Vets.  It certainly was never offered to me.  I dont understand it and not sure I want to know how much this country will do for an alien and snub an american or disabled american.
