Tucker Carlson: Marijuana legalization is a socialist conspiracy to dumb down America

[r3volution 3.0]

Tucker's in it for the money.

ding ding ding

However, there is a difference between him and the average illiterate TV show host; he knows what he's doing is wrong.

He gets a special, lower, circle in hell.

Have you taken Soma the muscle relaxant?

It's been almost 20 years since I tried it, but it's pretty powerful.

Never tried it. I try to limit my drug intake to alcohol and lupulin. Just like Brett Kavanaugh.

....but pretty sure somebody posted a quote that he was against prohibition

He said in the segment in question that he is opposed to “prohibition”. Guess he is in some weird in-between state where nothing changes from today’s state. Often illegal, but often not enforced. He’s perpetually at a concert.

Rally For The Republic. Remember what he did there?

Yes, he walked out as the MC because Jesse Ventura asked questions about why the FBI did not Osama Bin Laden on their most wanted list. 911 conspiracy was supposed to be off limits in his agreement to MC the event.

Ask why people are moving towards marijauna as opposed to the validity of it? That's the real question. Escapism.

Why are people moving away from the non aggression principle? That's the real question.

Bingo.

He'll do and say what he's told to by the people that pay him.

Nah. He's turned paleo. They don't look upon marijuana kindly and view it as a character defect. Yes, marijuana isn't all it's cracked up to be, but there are external factors driving up the usage. People are trying to escape the dreariness of reality and soothe their pain, which could be a detrimental outcome for the human race.

Me thinks Tucker needs to burn a fatty.

 

[Superfluous Man]

This goes right along with his immigration views.

Ya I disagree with all of this.. you might be right that some paleo folks might not be into cannabis, but that is because they are ignorant and don't understand human's relationship with the plant. But honestly I've never heard any paleo folks talk about cannabis, except to say that hemp seed is a decent thing to eat.

Humans have been ingesting cannabis for millions of years and it is integral to our health and wellness. Our bodies have an endocannabindoid system that regulates many of our body's processes. We function much better when we are ingesting cannabis and it keeps us way more healthy.

We have evolved to utilize this substance for medicine, food and building materials/fiber/ropes/clothing.

High THC cannabis has its purposes - spiritual, medicinal and such - but there is a lot more to it than that.

If I remember right both Pat Buchanan and Tom Tancredo were for legalizing marijuana, and that's going back several years to when that was a less mainstream position than it is now.

It still alters dopamine levels by catering to the pleasure center of the brain. I don't think it's more harmful than alcohol, but excessive use will cripple your well-being.

Um, ok, bananas increase dopamine....are you sure this is really a problem?

I will admit that there are a few people out there who might use it excessively.. I don't think it causes any longterm damage to use in excess, but it can affect how people act in the short term.

For many people cannabis is hugely motivational. For others, they may use it as a form of escape. But it is by far the safest substance to use for that purpose.

It's a major problem, since it can lead to depression. I don't think the person who smokes once or twice a week is at risk, but the binge smoker is. There is a zero sum game for psychoactive substances introduced into a closed system such as the human nervous system.

I've been smoking all day every day for almost 20 years.. no depression. In fact, I had problems with depression when I was younger, before I started. When I started, it helped ease the depression. Now it's gone. Smoking herb longterm does not cause depression. I don't think longterm use causes any health ailments.

Millage may vary.
Everyone's body is different, I have known some heavy users whose mental faculties were affected.

Just because you knew a couple crazy people who have smoked marijuana doesn't mean it makes you crazy. Occam's razor stops you from making irrational leaps of faith, if there was any scientific basis that it makes you crazy the Tobacco and Alcohol and drug war lobbyists would of funded it.
