Georgia law maker calls for caning,executing marijuana offenders.

[korny]

A Georgia law maker is trying to push for caning minor pot offenders, (hitting someone with a wet hard cane about 24 times causing deep and bloody lacerations) and executing those who sell it, while also publicly threatening those who are against his views, by releasing their names to their county sheriffs to be on the lookout for them, purely because they're on the opposing view. What the **** is wrong with this guy?!

No from what I hear there was just a raid in a medical clinic in LA. But I'm pretty sure that here in CA legalization is up for voting this year

Internet lies. Some say he stopped dea raids, other says he didn't.

well considering it was from him an email to a "legalize weed please" organization I'm sure he was joking/exaggerating just so he could laugh at potheads getting all butthurt about it

And what astounding professionalism he's upholding!

Obama has made it so federal law can't interfere with state law. Basically, the DEA cannot raid dispensaries anymore purely out of marijuana's nationwide illegality like they used to do. If a dispensary is being raided, then I'm assuming and very much hoping to believe that it is because the dispensers are in some way going about the nature of the business illegally.

your habit is illegal. organizations trying to legalize it are all run by persons who participate in illegal activities. whether you agree with the law or not you can't expect a LAWMAKER to appreciate you completely ignoring the laws of the country, and there's no reason to expect him to act professionally towards a group of people who actively and vocally break the law on a daily basis.



(sidenote: I really don't care whether weed is legalized or not; it's obviously not a harmful drug but then again "you give an inch they take a mile")

now dore; i haven't read anything other than the op, this post, and the "superiority complex" post so i dont know if your comment is justified by the stupid posts made by the stupid people who undoubtedly threw in their 2 or 3 cents on how **** YA POT SHOULD BE LEGAL. it very well may be. although you are referring to only this thread i bet you feel the same way about all smokers so... what i do know though is that some intelligent people who are for marijuana legalization may seem to have a complex. the fact is, marijuana prohibition wastes tax money, incites violence, and (id be willing to bet) leads to more people smoking; and thus i feel that the "above the law" attitudes marijuana supporters may seem to have are completely justified. i dont even smoke pot but this is just the way i see things.

lol

Not always bro. Pretty sure the official stance of the libertarian party is in favor of legalization. They're not a crazy pothead lobbyist group, they're a legitimate political party. You may have heard of Ron Paul, basically a libertarian (of sorts) running on the Republican ticket. He "opposes the federal War on Drugs, and thinks the states should decide whether to regulate or deregulate drugs such as medical marijuana." Now, that's not to say he is in favor of legalization per se, but he is in favor of letting the states decide, AS IS INDICATED IN THE CONSTITUTION (in other words, federal drug laws of this kind are UNCONSTITUTIONAL).

Not everyone in favor of legalization are wackjob potheads. Many of them are simply LOGICAL persons who realize the drug is harmless pharmacologically, that tax revenues would be enormous, and that it would keep minor drug offenders out of trouble with the law (which would save them money on law enforcement, attempted prevention, and also would minimize cases of incarceration for marijuana offenses). Not to mention that if it were legal, the black market would dry up and it would probably be more difficult for minors to obtain (drug dealers don't check IDs...).

hi i dont smoke

I just recognize that it's a safe thing that a person should have the LIBERTY to take part in IN THE PRIVACY OF THEIR OWN HOME. Who the hell are you to tell me what safe activities I should be allowed to partake in int he privacy of my own home?

You never see anyone parading around that they're a serial rapist

This is because marijuana is less harmful than any drug you can think of (talking about legal things as well, try comparing OD statistics for any drug to reefer: I'll save you trouble, no one has ever overdosed from marijuana).

Oh, and the substance itself is no more damaging than playing video games or watching TV. Rape, on the other hand, is a violent sex crime which ACTUALLY has a victim. Who is the victim of the "crime" of marijuana use? And if you extend the definition of "victim" to include one's self in this case, wouldn't the same person be a "victim" of a "crime" of watching television for hours and hours every day? Who are you tell a person they shouldn't be allowed to do something they enjoy just because you believe it makes their life not as good? I think World of Warcraft has a terrible effect on peoples' lives, but should it be illegal? Hell no. People should have this thing called LIBERTY, at least within the confines of their own private residence.

If you haven't known yet, Singapore law dictates a death sentence for anyone in possession of more than 17 oz. of pot. They probably have the most strict drug laws in the world.

If only I could cane all the stoners myself =/

when will our government realize if they legalize weed and put a small tax on it we would be out of debt in no time.

why is it a bad idea? alcohol is much worse and causes far greater problems than weed does and its legal.

but then invest in campaigns about control and avoiding abuse like any other substance, as well as arresting for driving under the influence etc.
