Marijuana Lobby

Comment Up
A lobby funded by billionaires who are libertarian on social issues subsidizes a tea party movement and takes control of a political party. But this time, it’s not the Koch brothers dictating the Republican agenda. I’m talking about pro-marijuana billionaires Peter Lewis and George Soros, and a left-wing tea party that smokes its tea. Marijuana money is corrupting the Democratic Party just as oil money has corrupted the Republicans. How powerful is the marijuana lobby?
Read M.D. Ed Goge's  article in the Palm Beach Post.  He ends up by stating, "...this partisan Democrat might soon be forced to say:  I  didn't leave my party; my party left me." This is exactly what happened to me in 2008 and nothing that has occurred since then has made me change my mind. Perhaps there should also be a law against eccentric billionaires.

Read interesting OP Ed by Tom Keane in the PBPost.

    Lynn, if pot were legal, think of how fast we could pay off the National Dept... The amount of taxes that could be collected would get us out of financial debt in a matter of months not decades.

    Perhaps, I really can't say one way or the other. However, the
    National Institute on Drug Abuse released a statement denying that marijuana is less toxic than alcohol.

    I never said it was less toxic, there are far fewer problems related to pot. I have never heard of anyone high driving, but alcohol related problems while drinking have increased steadily.

    The ONLY reason that study came out is because the Pharmasutical Companies know the Millions of Dollars they will lose if pot EVER becomes legal. It is proven that helps in the treatment of Many Ailments...

    The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) is a United States federal-government research institute whose mission is to "lead the Nation in bringing the power of science to bear on drug abuse and addiction

    @4:15--did you ever consider that perhaps there are less problems because it is ILLEGAL whereas alcohol is legal and more people are consuming alcohol and therefore more stats.

    Lynn the studies you refer to are flawed... How many people do you think are going to admit that they use something against the Law.????
