So, what about Kagan?
I am 100% in favor of California's right to try to pass that. Fuck the Feds. Interstates and military and then fuck off and leave the rest to the states.
So, what about Kagan?

She can't die fast enough once a Republican President can replace her, assuming she is confirmed.
I'm not surprised they are now doing this weed bullshit in California since the people living in the state are fucking idiots.
And fuck you, Yoshi. It's people like you who want to fill the supreme court bench with politically affiliated members instead of autonomous members who only read the constitution for what it's supposed to be. As it was fucking meant to be.
It makes no difference what I want. Reality is that the Supreme Court can be cut down the middle. Given that, I want more on the right.
I'm all for strict construction and checks and balances, but we blew that model up already, so now we have to deal with the mess we made.

What is all this 1 ounce crap?
Let them own and grow the fuck out of it. Kill the fucking market.
That will hurt the drug trade more than anything. make the shit fucking worthless
Marijuana is already cheaper than alcohol and tobacco. Just how many hectares do you plan to grow and how far exactly are you expecting to send the price to?
EDITS: Despite that, it has the largest demand. Therefore, the most blood is spilled on the border for it. Legalizing it here in the states will likely reduce that and is one of the arguments for Texas to grow it.
The truth is legalizing it will likely send the price up. Because of this, there will be a bootleg period for a couple decades, much like what followed the end of prohibition.
My only real fear is when it eventually gets commercialized and turns into Coca-cola meets Phillip Morris.
MOAR EDITS: Marijuana also kind of sucks now that is no longer the drug choice of jazz players and rancheros (the real reason it was outlawed, starting in El Paso) and instead the poster child of the frat generation, which commercializing will only make more annoying.

i drink it up!
Kagan doesn't give a shit about the constitution, either. Her policies are much more Marxist than Libertarian.Originally Posted by Razor Ramon
I don't think it would normalize, market-wise, over more than 10 years - 15 years (a generation of kids coming up). You'd probably also see abuse of it drop because the taboo nature of it would go away almost immediately and people would be more comfortable making good decisions growing up with it around. This is true of any drug, although I do understand why heroine is restricted due to its addictiveness.

Pot would have probably been made legal a long time ago if not for that one annoying guy in high school who smoked it. The one that giggled in class because he was high. And always had the high story about how high he got over the weekend.
Where every story ended with "maaaannnnn, I have nevveerrr beeen SO HIiIiIgh"
Drug laws are there for the same reason people don't want gay marriage. Culture control. They don't want that shit to become part of the overt American identity (even though it already is). They want to be legally justified in their bigotry.
Marijuana and gay marriage are not any part of the American identity. They're like soccer. A handful of people care and a lot of others pretend to when it seems convenient. Try stepping into the real world for a few minutes a week.
McDonald's, unfortunately, is on the real list.
