Loved it, and I dont smoke.

John Belushi snorted coke live on SNL in 1975.

Joined him from the couch and cheered him on. He's right, we have a lot of work ahead of us.

:thumbsup: let's talk about it candidates.

I think you're missing the point.

I think you're missing the point.

Why?

 

[NutterButter]

Great work there Bill. Nailed it.

 

[rockaction]

WEED! RIGHT?!

 

[Smack Tripper]

Hope he doesn't get his card pulled for passing it. Can always say it was tobacco I guess

Why?

I don't know. Because he thinks it was a race to see who could do drugs on live tv first and/or pot and coke are the same thing?

He said one thing that is so true. We still do not have one candidate for president that will just come out and say "I want to legalize it". Why not? I would think a Sanders could garner a ####load of votes just by saying that.

Why use it now when that card can be played a little closer to a bigger vote? I see the logic of what you are saying. Why not now? I doubt Trump would do it but he could really push some more momentum his way if he would go anti-establishment. Trump doesn't even drink though, lost a brother to alcoholism, likely not gonna legalize it. But I don't think Trump will undo what has been passed in CA, CO, WA...if he were asked that question about legalizing and he even hinted like he was going to put a stop to it...landslide for the DNC.

My take on this whole issue is this, can we all agree that it will be legal at some point in the future? I would think most people would say yes. If most would say yes, why are we waiting? All of this time to get to legalization when the writing is on the wall now. Just be done with it.

 

[Higgs]

I hate His politics but love his show. And even though I don't smoke and am very much anti-drugs, I support legalizing pot. He should spark one up at the end of every show. Kind of like Red Auerbach lighting up the victory cigar.

Florida voted 57% for it in the last vote to legalize. We have to come in at 60% so a majority want it here but not quite enough. I would like to see the Native Americans be given the right to sell this on their reservations here in Florida to start. Whatever is needed to push it thru. Was the 1st time we voted as a state in Florida on the issue in 2014, most feel it would pass next time around.

Hear Hear

Bill and I don't align politically always but I love his show and his give 'em hell bravado. Maher actually is a lot more GOP centered on the Middle East and refugees than some would think. I'm surprised when he starts asking questions about all these strangers everyone wants to bring in. Maher might not support building a wall but he doesn't support taking in thousands of refugees either.

HBO on Friday night is some of the best you will find. And Vice on right after is usually pretty provocative talk.

 

[Higgs]

Haven't seen Vice yet. The previews look fantastic. Is it any good?

 

[=Smackdown=]

It was a decent sized spliff too.

Recreational Use of Marijuana: Bernie has said he would vote yes as a resident of a state considering legalization. For federal legalization, he has said that he supports ending the federal prohibition on marijuana, allowing states to opt for legalization if they so choose.

http://feelthebern.org/bernie-sanders-on-drug-policy/

Bernie's position is very clear.

 

[Jobber]

MOP brought up Native Americans selling MJ on the res. I'm all for that around here because I'm 15 minutes away from one.

 

[NREC34]

I never heard that about Belushi. Tried to do a search and couldn't find anything.

 

[mr roboto]

I'm fine with legalization but it seems to me that people who make this a big issue are pretty childish. There's like 1,000 more important issues. Being a single issue voter for something like pot is embarrassing.

Hardly. When I can stick it to big govt, big pharma and big prison in one swoop, and in doing so flip billions spent into billions earned and taxed.

It's anything but embarrassing

Now big govt can focus on more important things

Big pharma can stop being able to poison our society with opiates

Big prison can have room for real criminals

Again, anything but embarrassing

I've made mention a few times that a politician's stance on marijuana is a good barometer of their ability to make sound decisions on other issues.

 

[mr roboto]

I get the broader issues (like the bs petty war on drugs leading to huge inmate pops) but honestly 90% of people just want to get high. All the systemic arguments are pretext for that.

Now medicinal marijuana is a totally different discussion IMO.

 

[Limp Ditka]

And yes, it doesn't stop big pharma from poisoning our society with opiates, but it will certainly stem the tide

 

[lardonastick]

Big pharma deserves all the stems.

Never have understood that mentality, especially when it comes to weed. I compare weed to alcohol and imo weed is so much safer. Alcohol can be a very destructive drug. Weed, not so much.

Compare weed to some of these Rx drugs that big pharma rolls out. The fact that a prescription can be written for oxycontin, a manufactured drug, and a presription cannot be written for a naturally grown plant is ridiculous. This is especially true when you consider the adverse affects of each of those drugs.

Why is it bad to consider getting high "a big issue "?

Why not let states decide the issues for themselves? You know, like they're doing now?

I think that's fine but the Feds are going to have to do something about the banking issue. Since it's still against the law at the federal level, dispensaries are not able to utilize banks. Other than that, there are some states that are a long ways away from legalization.

 

[cockroach]

The fact that he smoked it instead of using a nice portable Vape, shows that we still have a very long way to go. Fk combustion.

 

[Eminence]

Now that smoking is cool, I don't think I wanna do it anymore. Lol, jk.

There is exactly one Credit Union in Oregon Willing to let dispensaries deposit money and use their banking products, but it comes at a cost and requires stringent policy following. Shame, really.

Yea, you're called idiots. You're wasting the plant and most of its active ingredients and fking up your lungs. Weighing the pros and cons there's absolutely zero pros for smoking except for its more familiar/traditional. Choke away on that disgusting ash though. It's like beer bonging a bottle of wine and spilling half of it on your shirt... Classy.

It smells for maybe 5 min. It's a lot more floral though as all those good canabanoids are not being destroyed by fire. The smell doesn't stick to your clothes or hands either.

Basically you can use half as much bud to get twice as medicated and the flavor is significantly better/more, and any health threats are significantly reduced. No brainer.

I'm not a young hipster because I use the word vape. Keep the logical fallacies coming though. If you love the plant you'll come around someday. Smoking is archaic.

 

[General Malaise]

And yet an intelligent man with plenty of money and decades of weed experience like Bill Maher continues to, you know, SMOKE IT. You sure are judgy for a stoner, Cockroach.

 

[General Malaise]

I've used vaporizers plenty of time. Prefer to smoke it. Legal now so I have no need to hide it. To each their own. Admonishing people for their choice in using marijuana seems silly.

Ok, I'll give you some time to think about it some more
