Wait didn’t we reach the slope peak about ten years ago? It has been downhill for a while now. The summer of recovery comes every summer. The longest recession in history. I believe the way I would put it: Because of all the shit policies Obama started in his first term that had delayed fuses into what he thought would be a republican presidency now; Obama f*cked himself and the bottom has fallen out. Obama effectively tactically nuked his own 2nd term. Mass lay offs and closings dailyjobcuts.com.

I hate to burst yours and other Ron Paul fans out there’s bubbles but…Ron Paul lost the Republican nomination because he was willing to allow Iran possession of a nuclear weapon…inso facto terrorists a nuclear weapon….we already have enough problems with Pakistan on that issue. Like it or not, unless you want another Sep, 11, 2001[have to differentiate now between the Benghazi Sep 11 terrorism now] then there has to be world policing. There is no other acceptable logic. Plus, add the fact that the liberals love and support Ron Paul and you don’t see a pattern forming here? You must be either a liberal or a libertarian? Ron Paul is not a conservative and the best rhino won the nomination!

When Ron Paul spoke he was a whiner… I remember him speaking often. He lacked a certain male presence of testosterone. He did not run to win. He ran to get some points across. Perry Ran as a mentor to others and to make sure The Republican Party was treated fairly and to clear the way ass an offensive lineman. Santorum and Bachman were true conservatives. Romney did not steal anything, He earned every advance he got by handling situations right from the Straw Poll hecklers to knives in the back from his own party to the character assassination from the left.

Money could have played a large factor in that. Paul was way behind Romney in raising funds. Romney lead, Perry was second, Newt was third, and then came Ron. He didn’t pan out and the numbers showed that very early.

The RNC did what was best to attract new money. You have to remember we were running against an incumbent. That takes a lot of money. We ran against a black Santa Clause handing out free phones to all the welfare recipients and promising big union major advances… thus winning Washington, Oregon, Ohio etc..etc..etc..
Do you think Ron Paul could have stood even an inkling of a chance against a black Santa Clause?

Prevent Iran from possessing nuclear weapons? Kinda hard to do that, they already have them, they have had since many years.
The Soviet-Union and the United States had some 60 000 warheads just 30 years ago and we are supposed to believe that today, there is this massive technology gap the Iranian military is barely starting to overcome just now?
No, there is a reason Iran wasn´t next in the Bush years, Bush knew that Riyadh and Tel-Aviv, perhapse even London and Madrid would go up in ashes if anyone tried to invade Iran.

Seems as if we have the man Antichrist (Obama) and the Beast (Government) of the Bottomless Pit weakening America. The first half of the tribulation (1st term) the antichrist will start his peace campaign all over the world, which emboldens the evil in the middle east. The second half of the tribulation (2nd term) called the Great Tribulation will be the unveiling of of the truth where all hell breaks out and the One true God has to intervene.

It is fair to say that the reason we don’t have Romney in office right now is solely due to lack of Ron Paul supporters picking their defeated egos off the floor and voting for the lesser of two evils. The problem there is that when Ron Paul supporters got off the floor they actually voted for Obama and considered him the lesser of two evils! Ron Paul supporters are what you get when you have democrats that don’t support the ruling elite posed as the democrat candidate so they get involved in the republican nomination and then get pissy when the candidate they want to when loses.

Being a Libertarian for a number of decades now, I’m not pro-drug. I just don’t care if someone wants to use drugs. Some of the illegal drugs have legitimate uses, and I would never vote to take them away from people who would benefit from them.
Others, I just don’t care if somebody wants to ruin their life.

I care if someone abuses drugs and then gets brain damage and then files for social security disability and gets it. I care if someone has drugs available to them and offers them to a young girl for the purpose of getting them primed for rape. I would imagine traffic incidents would go up in those sates that legalize narcotics. Its a slippery slope.

The primary gateway drug in the world is alcohol, a very addictive and destructive yet legal drug. The prohibition of alcohol was a less than stellar success. They’re still working to eliminate that drug from the peasants’ menus.

Alcohol related traffic accidents and deaths are on the rise because stupid people do not know how to be responsible. Moral fiber and values take precedence over a trip. People that oppose legalizing drugs don’t use them.
Picture this: 17 years old, driving, while texting, radio blaring, smoking a joint after leaving a party that alcohol was available. Chance of her not getting into an accident? Now picture everyone else on the road, driving are also high and texting. Chances of her getting into an accident just got a lot higher.

The good news is that when the girl gets into an accident there will be somebody like me around, hopefully, that can render aid and try to keep her alive while the ambulance is on the way. You ever notice how there are more conservatives that are willing to stop and render help when someone needs it and that have gotten the training they need to be a positive influence on society?

I never mentioned anything about allowing stoned people to go around breaking laws, with the drug as the excuse. Dope is no worse than alcohol. Do you think we should outlaw alcohol? Do you think the 17 year old girl in your scenario doesn’t know how to easily get some weed? Has outlawing drugs worked?

Narcotics effect peoples judgement.
The term narcotic (pronunciation: /nɑrˈkɑːtɨk/, from ancient Greek ναρκῶ narkō, “Ι benumb”) originally referred medically to any psychoactive compound with any sleep-inducing properties. In the United States of America it has since become associated with opioids, commonly morphine and heroin and their derivatives, such as hydrocodone. The term is, today, imprecisely defined and typically has negative connotations.[1][2] When used in a legal context in the US, a narcotic drug is simply one that is totally prohibited, or one that is used in violation of strict governmental regulation, such as heroin or morphine.
From a pharmacological standpoint it is not a useful term,[3] as is evidenced by the historically varied usage of the word.

Well, I’m with, I understand the need for regulation. We can’t have stoners operating heavy machinery, for example. However, I just think that that’s a topic for each state to regulate. If some states want to be stoner states, and load up on dirty hippies, fine by me.
That was also why I wanted to keep the gambling in Atlantic City and Vegas — people tend to move to be where they are happier — and that’s not such a bad thing.

THC is detectable for about 30 days, but only has an effect for a couple of hours. Not exactly a big problem.

I agree with you, but I also think that IWS makes some good points below. The question is “how does it impact society”? Just some random thoughts below.
First of all – this is my personal cutoff point – drugs that are used in essentially the same form as provide by nature, should be legalized. Not LSD, Meth, or crack. But pot, heroin, even cocaine – yes. (the difference in cocaine and crack is the processing.)
Second: the points IWS make are valid. But we are ALREADY paying for people with brain damage. People are already priming girls with drugs and alcohol for nefarious purposes. Those things are unavoidable, no matter how many laws or regulations we put out. Even stupid people can be ingenious. They WILL find a way to get what they want, even if it means mixing drain cleaner and Robitussin in the kitchen sink. Maybe, just MAYBE, if legal, safer drugs were available rather easily and inexpensively, these morons would not have the motivation to make their own stuff. But if people do, how is that different than right now? At least it would free up resources to police and jail the offenders.
Third: We have a booming underground economy with drugs. It is unmonitored, unregulated, and mostly UNTAXED. And it it extremely dangerous. If we regulate drugs, those economies will instantly die. The COST of drugs would go down when the “danger surcharge” is gone. If drug shops can go to the suppliers directly, and create a legal paper trail, usage is monitorable and trackable and taxable. So the little guy in Columbia who is growing and selling his weed for pennies could make a lot more, and the end product could STILL be a 10th the price.
That sets up point 4: So, to get the drugs, the addict has to go to a doctor for a prescription. Maybe $25. The doctor can do a quick scan, keeping track of the patients health, and maybe a lecture about the dangers and risks of drugs (plus offering addiction rehab, and so on.) The addict then goes to the drug shop and pays maybe another $25 for the drugs. All of this is taxed. The druggie has paid $50 for what he used to pay $500 for on the street. And guess what? Because he only needs $25 to refill, he doesn’t need to kill a grandma for her welfare check to get his next fix! Plus, his health is monitored slightly (but certainly much more than it is today) so that health problems can be caught early on, when they are cheaper to address.
It’s not a flawless plan. It won’t fix all of the problems that are associated with drug use. But it will fix several of the BIGGEST problems, and the ones that most dramatically impact our society. And really – that’s my primary goal. If a junkie wants to spend the rest of their life puking and floating, that’s not MY problem. MY problem is paying the insurance cost when they rob a store to pay for drugs. My problem is paying for the jail cell to keep him in. My problem is paying for the costs of treating HIS Hepatitis, and the hepatitis of the 25 other people he infected by sharing needles.

Cocaine is very much different from the coca plant’s natural form. Crack is another step away from that. Opium gets processed into morphine and heroin. These drug are seriously deleterious, even in their natural form. Meth? There is nothing natural about it. Weed is a completely different story in this regard. The ‘gateway’ aspect of it has more to do with the personality of the user. Alcohol is vastly more destructive to the body than pot, especially if the consumption method is not smoking, which is about the only health concern that can be trumpeted against it.
The prison industry thrives on locking up pot users. 80% of those incarcerated for pot are sitting for simple possession and/or use. Not dealing pounds of it or anything like that, and of those sitting for simple pot possession turned felonious it is due to them having a gun at home. Now they pop someone on the street and then go toss his residence. Having a box of baggies can make him a dealer if the officer is a proper zealot. There are plenty of those.

Liberal state legalizes pot…Pot is taken off the controlled substance list federally…Pot is legal, taxed, marketed, served at convenience stores and coffee shops…suppliers are unionized labor…people that become addicted are going to sue the suppliers like they did cigarette suppliers…there will be a movement to legalize cocaine next… cocaine gets legalized and so does child porn…then a movement spurs for the legalization of opium because it is medicine…eventually all drugs are legal and the nation of addicts begin to rob each others houses to buy more drugs…
So how does the crime rate go down with legalizing narcotics?
Stupid addicts are going to do way more illegal shit to get the drugs. Drugs ruin people lives because the majority of people are not disciplined enough or responsible enough to behave appropriately with drugs. Hell just look at bath salts.

How Does Marijuana Affect the Brain?
Scientists have learned a great deal about how THC acts in the brain to produce its many effects. When someone smokes marijuana, THC rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to the brain and other organs throughout the body.
THC acts upon specific sites in the brain, called cannabinoid receptors, kicking off a series of cellular reactions that ultimately lead to the “high” that users experience when they smoke marijuana. Some brain areas have many cannabinoid receptors; others have few or none. The highest density of cannabinoid receptors are found in parts of the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thinking, concentrating, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement.1
Not surprisingly, marijuana intoxication can cause distorted perceptions, impaired coordination, difficulty with thinking and problem solving, and problems with learning and memory. Research has shown that, in chronic users, marijuana’s adverse impact on learning and memory can last for days or weeks after the acute effects of the drug wear off.2 As a result, someone who smokes marijuana every day may be functioning at a suboptimal intellectual level all of the time.
Research into the effects of long-term cannabis use on the structure of the brain has yielded inconsistent results. It may be that the effects are too subtle for reliable detection by current techniques. A similar challenge arises in studies of the effects of chronic marijuana use on brain function. Brain imaging studies in chronic users tend to show some consistent alterations, but their connection to impaired cognitive functioning is far from clear. This uncertainty may stem from confounding factors such as other drug use, residual drug effects, or withdrawal symptoms in long-term chronic users.

So – you deal with the individuals. Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean you can do it at work. Just like drinking. Do it at work, get fired. Do so much at night that you are non-productive the next day? Get fired.

well sifi, first that whole sin tax maybe a good idea, but it ought to be revisited and better defined.
for instance, Gen. 1:29 indicates weed is ok, also coca leaves, but i draw the line at cocaine, as it is processed, and not at all the way it has been utilized amongst the general populace in areas where it has historically grown naturally. of course the shamans and other types of diviners, sorcerers, witches process it into something more powerful than it was meant to be.
beer was a staple in early civilizations, a liquid staff of life as it were, not to be confused with distilled beverages.
but then one would have to define what sin is, and not rely on the modern usage which is just silly in what it includes as well as excludes.
