MSNBC says Obama to legalize

[igrowone]

there seems to be a disconnect on how the Controlled Substances Act works<br>
congress can pass legislative rescheduling(which could include legalization), or the executive branch can reschedule<br>
this has happened recently, Marinol went from schedule 2 to schedule 3, congress was not needed<br>
a quick overview, though not the best it touches on some of the key points: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_Substances_Act

BULLSHIT!

...end rant.

 

[Buddle]

You people actually still watch TV? And that bullshit they feed everyone........

I'm with ya Vonforne..Everyone seems to know we are being fed BS except us. If you want a more accurate(truthful) idea of what our govt is really doing and what they have up their sleeves for us..I highly recommend BBC or another reputable foreign news station...and nothing personal to anyone here..I LOVE my weed and its very important to me however we are being conned, manipulated, coersed,lied to etc over many things..Weed is just the beginning and a tool for the govt. just like 9/11.

 

[Hank Hemp]

everybody voting this time right.

 

[trichrider]

Couple problems here. Number 1, watching television is just stupid, any television.

Number 2, I've seen video clips of various MSNBC anchors and what they have to say. You have to be joking to give MSNBC any greater respect than Jerry Springer.

And lastly, the President of the United States is *not* a legislator. He *cannot* make marijuana legal. The President *does not* make laws, change laws, invalidate laws, etc. He only enforces laws.

The *Congress* is the only body that can legalize marijuana at the federal level. The President could then sign, or veto, said bill. But any president claiming that he, personally, is going to change a law is lying to you.

fool me once shame on you, fool me twice...

with the problems there having over there Im not surprised that they are looking into it. the euro is in big trouble in some countries like Greece..

seee?

everybody voting this time right.

i am, and i can't even.
...an unreistered felon registering to vote? unmitigated gall....yet....
i am, and i can't even.
risking unwanted exposure in this case seems right and proper.

 

[SomeOldGuy]

MSNBC is as news worthy a station as Looney Tunes.

...and while there isn't anyone in this race i want to vote FOR, there damned sure is a lying sack of shit i want to vote AGAINST!

Obama is running out of excuses

It is time to “out” President Obama.
Mr. President, it is you—not Mitt Romney—who is out of touch with the American people and with what our country needs.
You are outraged at the charge that your White House leaks national security secrets while you stake out a claim of executive privilege, to keep White House communications secret on “Fast and Furious”—the American people smell a cop out or two somewhere in that mix.
You are never out of excuses—blaming others for our anemic recovery—while we are out of patience, frustrated with your mishandling of the economy.
You are out partying at Hollywood fundraisers while millions of people are out of work.
Your spending is out of control while taxpayers are out ever more money to fund your bailouts and handouts for special interests that are special to you.
You have an out of whack belief that “the private sector is doing fine” while we recoil at your outlandish idea to throw more money at the public sector—big government.
You are out in the open—dividing people by race, income, and deeply held religious and moral beliefs—while most Americans strive to bring out the best in themselves and their neighbors.
Your ObamaCare outsources our health care to government bureaucrats while it leaves us out of pocket, out of choices for our treatments and doctors, and out of incentives to develop new drugs and other medical innovations.
You’ve gone out of your way to antagonize allies like Israel and to appease adversaries like Russia, while most of us see this as out and out betrayals.
You keep going further out on a limb with your extremism on the environment and limiting the uses of energy like oil and coal while ignoring our concerns about being out of power and out in the cold.
You are out campaigning about how in touch you are with us while we see you as out of your depth in leadership, out in left field in your policies and, hopefully, out of your office in November.

I personally don't think he will try and grasp the weed "straw" but who the fuck knows....this guy is capable of saying or promising anything....

Obama is a scumbum moron and ANYONE who votes for him is a complete fool.

[greenmatter]

if we are going to vote for the candidate that does not make promises he can't keep all we have to do is ..............

stay at home and smoke as much as possible on election day ??????

maybe the bullshitters are not 100% at fault here

could be the folks who choose to believe what they want to hear and ignore the rest. IMHO that is who the government and the media have been catering to for about 40 years now and it seems to be working really well

QUESTION: if weed were legal (and i don't care who makes it legal) would all the problems that this country has go away?


weed, guns, immigration, abortion all seem like some of the smaller peanuts in the turd to me ........ but it seems to be all that gets talked about anymore. kind of like worrying about a paint job when there is a piston hanging out of the side of the block.

 

[Hank Hemp]

I must be a Moron

I must be a Moron

Obama is a scumbum moron and ANYONE who votes for him is a complete fool.

Should you even be able to vote if you don't watch fauxnews? I don't think so, do you? I just wish there was another option. Maybe that ex-gov of New Mexico.

 

[guest396]

How many people grow the tobacco they smoke or ferment their own alcohol? Once we let them take this too from us, we might as well call it a wrap. Google NDAA and you come back n tell me they have ANYTHING GOOD planned for us

 

[guest396]

He's gonna do thus and so....

Yeah, no matter what the puppets do the strings are pulled for their masters benefit, not for ours... Bet your asses this would hurt or piss off bout 90% of you instead of you having the limited view of freedom you have now. I will do what Yahweh has given into my hand. I will not be asking "mans" permission.

If you believe they are up to anything that truly helps or frees you, I have the Original OG Kush male and ill sell you a cut for the 2 cents your brainwashed opinion isnt worth.... Just sit there making that couch cushion look more n more like the shape of your ass and keep listening to the Talking Heads.... They have something "Real" important to tell you! Hahaha

 

[Reg Dixon]

I saw today on MSNBC (Who I consider to be the true news). That Obama will consider (for politcal gain) to legalize cannabis for personal use.Sometimes on MSNBC they leak what the "Liberals" have planned. (From Huffpost)...No matter what your ideology is MSNBC spends most of it's time correcting "made up shit" that lets say it's competitor does. That is to say you won't see Fox "so called news" spending most of its time correcting facts that are reported on MSNBC. If MSNBC says there is a possibility through a Leak it actually could happen.

I have a slightly different spin on this news. Obama is 'considering' legalisation of pot in order to scare up very large campaign donations from big pharma and other competing industries.

Quite clever really.

 

[armedoldhippy]

no, he can't legalize on his own. BUT, it is in his power to call the head of the DEA into his office & say "i want weed dropped to sch. 3 by noon tomorrow, or your ass is unemployed!" pretty sure the states could handle it from there on. here in tennessee, we once had legal med weed until the feds stopped supplying it. once most states have gone med & proved to voters that smoking herb doesn't turn you into a father-beater, poodle fondler, or Pope molester, it won't take 5 or 10 years to be legal nationwide.

 

[TripleDraw27]

I saw the title, then I saw MSNBC ( AKA IF the right does it, its racist), then i logged.

 

[Totah Sam]

hmm... Have you all ever wondered what Romney would do if he is elected President? He already said he would end the medical marijuana programs across the nation and stiffen penalties/incarceration for possession.

 

[igrowone]

it seems he has made a recent statement on MMJ, he hadn't really made it clear what his current views were
but he has announced he will fight MMJ 'tooth and nail', this will make our voting choices a little clearer

 

[Totah Sam]

I wish more people knew about Gary Johnson. He was a great governor and New Mexico misses him very much.
