Marijuana U.S.A.

[Gabriel_Bell]

Democrats despise "basketsful of deplorables" conservative Christians for preaching the Bible's condemnation of sins like drunkenness, wantonness, looting, lying, voting fraud and more.

The Bible says nary a word about Marijuana. I suppose you favor prohibition as well.

....just like alcohol???
.​

While libs try to draw similarities between alcohol and marijuana, they are NOT the same at all. As I've posted in the past, there are stark differences between the substances. Alcohol use is detrimental to health as is the use of Marijuana. Supporters will discount the differences but, they are there and scientifically proven nonetheless. The fact that there is an alcohol problem in this country should wise people up that legalizing more addictive substances isn't going to help the situation but, potheads crave their pot regardless of the massive health consequences. Denial seems to be libs/potheads ideology and philosophy.

Apparently you haven't read nor studied scripture much then. The Bible specifically says that pharmacology and pharmacological substances were used in PEGAN worship of the devil and other false gods. It also says specifically that we are not to be drunk but, sober.

As far as "prohibition" goes, I neither favor nor disfavor it. Past history is past. How it was enacted, how it was enforced, why it was enacted or the way it was enacted/enforced is whole other matter. Thalidomide for example was widely used by medical professionals until people began to accept that it was causing all sorts of deaths. There are numerous other examples of substances that were once considered "safe".

Apparently you did. You constantly misrepresent or deliberately misquote scripture according to what "point" you think you want to make.

"Baby-steps" -> MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!
.
It's lookin' like the "training-wheels" are coming OFF!!!!
.​

"Whether Pennsylvania chooses a state-run retail system or private licenses, tier separation should be the foundation of either model.
.
The principle is simple: no entity operates on both sides of the adult-use supply chain. Enforcing that bright-line rule is simpler than prosecuting the alleged cartel conduct Yost is now trying to unwind in Ohio.
.
The legislature should also create craft licenses that let small producers sell directly to consumers at a single location. Call it the taproom model.
.
Taprooms gave craft breweries higher-margin sales channels and a direct customer base before they had to compete at wholesale scale. That entry point, not regulatory shielding, is what allowed them to thrive. Pennsylvania’s small cannabis farmers deserve the same.
.
New York is building the market Pennsylvania should study. Ohio is in court because it never built one.
.
The companies David Yost is suing already hold licenses in Pennsylvania. The structural rule has to come before the first dispensary opens, not after the first lawsuit is filed.

If you’re at the Pennsylvania Cannabis Convention on April 18, please join Parabola Center’s panel, “Built to Fail or Built to Last? Equity Lessons from Legal States.” Policy experts and advocates from four states will discuss these issues and more.

North Carolina:
Cannabis Advisory Council Calls On Lawmakers To Legalize!!!!
April 7, 2026
.​

"An interim report issued last week by the North Carolina Advisory Council on Cannabis concludes: “The status quo is not an option. … The Council agrees that a well-regulated market … is a safer market. … Under this framework, adults would be permitted to legally purchase, possess, and use cannabis through state-licensed retail outlets. … It allows for structured licensing fees and tax revenue to support oversight, the development of clear and enforceable rules, sustained public health messaging grounded in prevention and education, and dedicated resources for compliance and enforcement.”

Idaho:
Lawmakers Pass Resolution Urging Voters To Reject Medical Marijuana
April 9, 2026
.​

"House and Senate lawmakers have approved legislation, Senate Concurrent Resolution 127, urging voters to reject a citizen-led effort to legalize medical cannabis access.
.
Advocates with the group Natural Medicine Alliance of Idaho are seeking to place The Idaho Medical Cannabis Act on the November ballot. The measure permits qualified patients with a physician’s recommendation to obtain cannabis from state-licensed operators. Last month, petitioners announced that they had gathered more than 77,000 signatures from registered voters in favor of the proposal. Petitioners must gather 70,725 signatures from Idaho voters to place the question on the ballot.
.
In response to the effort, lawmakers have approved SCR 127, urging voters to “reject any effort to bring the Idaho Medical Cannabis Act to the ballot.” Text of the resolution alleges that the Act will “have devastating impacts on Idaho children and their families … and would effectively legalize widespread recreational use of marijuana.”
