Proud Potheads Pushback: Public Perceives Problem "Stoners"

[kalm]

He's incapable of cognitive advancement
Before Marijuana legalization there were millions of pot smokers and Marijuana sales generated ZERO dollars for healthcare - in fact they only funded the Cartels

Today we have the same Marijuana smokers
Only now the transactions are taxed (25% & 25%) of which a percentage is allocated towards healthcare

Its Kindergarten Math frankly
Yesterday I had Zero Dollars / Today I have tens of Millions / Which one is more

First, your faith in the government's management of funds has never been stronger. Why is that? POT(b)?
Ask the residents of Atlantic City about the promises of casino tax revenues. And ask them how different they are from the results. Now I know that is probably unfair because the AC issue probably has a greater amount of corruption associated with it. But the feds can produce the same results by a simple vote for reallocation.

Second, your faith in the taxes being able to cover the medical expenses that WE are now paying for is amazing. I hope you are right, but I think you will find that much of that money will be spent on research to determine the effects on health, rather than treatment. The ACA has already made us responsible for treatment. Research money, to the level where it approaches alcohol, is yet to be found.

Again, you were paying for it before the ACA.

Nice that you aspire pot to be like the cigarette industry. That's rich.

ALL STUDIES indicate the percentage of marijuana usage will only marginally increase

I have some swamp land in Florida for sale.

Just watch Colorado.

Pot use is declining among teens and well below the national average. Expect it to stay that way.

Why does a freedom loving conk you care what kind of legal activities adults engage in?

I typically don't. But the ACA has caused me to care at a legislative level.

You're so full of sh!t...
I get it though - it is funny - I mean you're funnier than I originally thought

Only studies I can find are from 2011-12. Do you have something that shows it's declining since becoming legal?

Like has been repeated ad nauseum, let us know when you start railing for the outlaw of cigarettes, booze, high fructose corn syrup, and every other thing that could potentially be unhealthy and cause you to pay more through the ACA.

Meaning you think I'm lying or you think I'm wrong?
I have been consistent in this debate. My argument here is about the ACA, and how the legalization relates to it.

These are all good reasons to get rid of the ACA, not outlaw those products.

Let's get rid of private insurance altogether, since you've already been paying to help people deal with the consequences of all kinds of legal, unhealthy activities.

Please clarify. I don't want to assume you are suggesting something that you are not. Private insurance?

So, no?

A grand jury has decided against charging NASCAR star Tony Stewart in the August death of another driver at a sprint car race in upstate New York...

District Attorney Michael Tantillo also said Ward was under the influence of marijuana that night "enough to impair judgment."

Yet another great use for the ganj; a catalyst for Darwinism.

a) Is anybody here (or anywhere) implying that Marijuana does not impair judgement..? Answer: No
b) Does anybody here (or anywhere) condone drug use - Marijuana or otherwise - at work..? Answer: No

So what exactly is your point Hen..?

Oh I see... Did you know that in 2006
alcohol abuse problems cost the United States $223.5 billion

Nearly 88,000 people die from alcohol related causes annually, making it the third leading preventable cause of death in the United States

In 2012, alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities accounted for 10,322 deaths (31 percent of overall driving fatalities)

That's awful. We should do something about. Don't you agree?
