He might not like it but the states that have it seem to be pretty happy with the results so far. But as far as his party and their push for more state rights that will run up against their hatred for the devil's weed. It's going to be way too profitable for people to take it away.

As has been illustrated repeatedly, the Republican affection for states rights only applies when it suits their agenda. -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 06:59 6
- This also speaks to their belief in less government. They're okay with the massive boondoggle that's the war on drugs and the DEA. You never hear them -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 18, 07:05 4
  - yep. unsurprisingly, that pompeo op ed calls for doubling or tripling the number of fbi field agents....nm - x Nov 18, 07:10 3
    - well, all those FBI hires will be offset by the firings at the EPA -- nm - decline Nov 18, 07:13 1
      - And Dept. of Ed. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 07:14
    - They're two faced with their ideas and principles. When not in power it's all about austerity and less government. - Krusty Nov 18, 07:13
- Of course. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 07:00
Also, good people get stinking drunk and drive. He's okay with all the alcohol being sold? How don't they see the hypocrisy? -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 06:59 11
- Weed is from the devil in their eyes - I really think that train has left the station though - too much tax revenue for states - Epiphany Nov 18, 07:02 10
  - I really thought as the baby boomers assumed power that weed would be tossed out to the crowds like carnival candy. I'm surprised how - Mel Profit Nov 18, 07:20 5
    - They're so not the adults they or anyone thought they'd be. They hardened and aren't any fun. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 07:24 4
      - I know a few diehards. I'll introduce you to them next time. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 18, 07:33 3
        
        they'd *love* krusty. -- nm - Diva Nov 18, 07:55 1

  - My guess is that the tax revenue will be hard to give back plus going against the vote of the people really doesn't look good or do anything to help - Krusty Nov 18, 07:07 2
    - Since when does the vote of the people matter? Just look at the presidential election! :) -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 07:09 1
      - It's mostly blue states anyway so F them. Though, medical is in some red states. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 07:11
  - DE DEBBIL!! -- nm - Weed si Nov 18, 07:03
