Pot politics fracture the GOP

Pot politics fracture the GOP
By Tim Devaney

GOP support for medical marijuana is on the rise as backers look to couch legalization as a states rights issue, while other Republicans are fighting tooth and nail to beat back recreational pot laws like the one approved in Washington, D.C.

What we do on our off time is not Corporate America's business.

The most dangerous person I ever worked with had a serious alcohol problem. No other drugs, just that one, the one that no one ever cares about.

while marching in lockstep to back muderers and terrorists. Don't mean to derail the thread, but it seems to be true.

Legalizing MJ should be a slam dunk, yet there is this big 'controversy' over it, mostly to distract how the Repubs ignore real problems in our society.

I don't use it, but I really do not see any reason for it to be on the schedule of some of the worst drugs out there. Treat it exactly like alcohol. Done.
