MaryJane was de-criminalized in N.H. yesterday!

[No1ButPaul08]

That is a pretty broad brush. Some said that about the entire state after the primary. "The Die State" and other such nonsense.

Any paper that endorses McCain and "forgets" to run 2 RP ads in the week leading up to the Primary hates freedom. Also, either the publisher or editor was on C-Span that week. He said he didn't believe that RP got more money from the troops than McCain. The paper should be called the Uneocon Leader.

Good Job NH.

Denver still has you beat though...

In Denver possession of Mari Jane has been voted as the LOWEST priority that police should have. They will be giving out J-Walking tickets before anything relating to it, lol. I don't smoke it but I think it's everyone's choice.

I' Trying To Buy an Eghth ( To the tune of I'm Henry The Eighth)

I'm trying to buy an eighth I am
Trying to buy an eighth I am I am
I bought a quarter from the dealer next door
He only sells seven grams or more

(chorus)
And all I wanted was en eighth (an eighth)
I didn't want a quarter or an ounce (an ounce)
I am eighth kinds guy or I'm ornery
I'm trying to buy an eighth I am

etc.

Interesting enough.. Even after Denver voted to legalize marijuana, AND after Denver voted to make marijuana enforcement the 'lowest law enforcement priority' arrests have still increased.

Our stubborn mayor just will not listen to the will of the voters.

I am glad this finally happened; it is about time. Hopefully Mass. will be soon to follow, there have been resolutions passed by the voting public on the books for years there, but the legislature fails to act because they are non-binding. New England is a real hot bed for this: Rhode Island a few years back, Conneticut almost, Maine and Vermont a while ago...this is very good news for people in N.H. I often wanted to move there when I was living in Boston before I came to California, real estate is very affordable and the White Mountains are amazing. Jobs are not as easy to find (this really depends on what you do) as some places in New England but it really is a special place. Way to go N.H.!

 

[tpreitzel]

Now you just get a ticket.
You can pass go, don't go to jail.

I'll post the articles when I find them.

Due to the perversion of power in Washington, D.C. where legislators declare their illegal wars on drugs, crime, poverty, terrorism, etc. and usurp power by doing so, states now feel obligated to right some of the wrongs and this process is totally bass ackwards from the intended one. States should NOT have to grant rights which the federal government has denied. States should be allowed to restrict rights IAW their state constitutions, however, as long as such restrictions conform to the requirements of the federal constitution. Our crazy, screwed-up relationship is solely due to the abuses of power in Washington, D.C.

Some freedom state with Gov. John Lynch at the wheel.. Not!

The United States incarcerates more people than any other country in the world and for the first time in the nation's history, more than one in every 100 American adults is confined in a prison or jail, according to a report released on Thursday. The report by the Pew Center on the States said the American penal system held more than 2.3 million adults at the start of the year.

Record-High Ratio of Americans in Prison By N.C. Aizenman
CN Source: Washington Post February 28, 2008 Washington, DC
More than one in 100 adults in the United States is in jail or prison, an all-time high that is costing state governments nearly $50 billion a year, in addition to more than $5 billion spent by the federal government, according to a report released today. With more than 2.3 million people behind bars at the start of 2008, the United States leads the world in both the number and the percentage of residents it incarcerates, leaving even far more populous China a distant second, noted the report by the nonpartisan Pew Center on the States

This is a good time to remind folks graphically of whats going on.

The United States has 5% of the world's population...
... but 25% of the world's prison population.
We dramatically lead the entire world in incarceration rates.

call me crazy but it sounds like time to vote him OUT if thats the case.

 

[MikeStanart]

Just what we need.

Another reason to make RP supports look like pot-heads.

Move the thread, please.

 

[Jaykzo]

In case you didn't realize ^, no one cares about sterotyping us Ron Paul supporters anymore.

CNN isn't visiting us anymore, FOX doesn't bother slandering against us anymore, and there are no presidential debates where RP can be asked ridiculous questions regarding our conduct.


So I don't think you need to be worried about a little discussion regarding a PLANT (yes, thats what we are talking about) here on this message board.

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

Wow. Now I really would like to move there.

 

[coastie]

What a bunch of pot heads....

Nice...What's with the name-calling? Who are you supporting again, Hitlery?

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

Marijuana is a great thing. It's just perfect, really.

QFT...too bad I cant smoke right now

2 more years and the enlistment is over, I'll be saying goodbye to 8 1/2 years of (voluntary) enslavement to the gubmint, and hello to freedom...or what's left of it.

 

[Knightskye]

Trying to redeem themselves after giving McCain their delegates. I'll take it, but I want more, 'Lived free, now I'm done'.

We're not on vacation. We get stronger every day. Won't you join us?

 

[BuddyRey]

Not so fast...from the Manchester Union Leader:



It's definite progress, though.

My gosh, the talk is about lightening up on folks who are carrying around a piddling 1/4 ounce of cannabis, and you may just as well tell the Law & Order types that you're trying to legalize the sale of crack cocaine to Kindergarteners.

Why are so many people so scared of freedom?!

That's because we have so darned many stupid laws.

Sometimes I think they make up laws to fill prisons owned by the people making up the laws.

Freedom is foreign to most Americans even within our ranks. I was at a meetup some months ago and drugs came up. I pointed out that under Ron Pauls principles people should be able to purchase whatever drugs (crack, meth, heroin, lsd, etc.) they wanted right from the pharmacy without any oversight from the government whatsoever; I went on to point out how much better the quality would be in comparison to the black market stuff available now. Some were in agreement but a MAJORITY of the people in the room thought I was absolutely crazy to support such an idea and one older gentlemen got really angry and told me Ron Paul would never support such an idea! The disconnect is huge having lived under oppression for so long some people expect the government to regulate even the most trivial parts of their lives. Drug hysteria runs so deep that some people, within our ranks, have this crazy idea that the legalization of all drugs would cause society to fall apart. They act as if the world would end if people were allowed to take what they wanted! It was then that I realized that most people are just not ready for true freedom; so much so that they cannot even imagine it without the sky falling. It was amazing to me that they would blame drugs which are inadament substances for the addictive short comings of human beings and essentially not take responsibility for themselves or there fellows. Sadly, freedom is popular but only to a degree.

That sentence cuts to the heart of the matter. The people have been programmed over time to believe this way, and it will take much time to reverse the damage.
