I have a Maryland medicinal card ... its really easy to get. The dispensaries are always packed with people and theres more and more dispensaries opening up daily.

I think I would be against blanket legalization. I dont think some 18 year old should just be able to walk in and walk out with 2 ounces of flower, 40 mg edibles, vape pens and shatter etc. I dont want some 18 or 22 year old driving around with his buddies eating 40 mg edibles. Those things can get you and sometimes can creep up on you. Some dumb kid will eat one, not feel anything in 5 mins get impatient and eat like 2 more.

Its basically already legal in Maryland. I think there should be some paperwork and steps people have to go through to get a card.

The State is taxing it very high already almost to the point companies are starting to think they wont be making a profit.

It is making Maryland a ton of tax revenue.

So coming off the Biden big win in South Carolina...I would expect Obama would have to endorse JB before Super Tuesday in order to attempt to sway away momentum from Bernie?

Or is this another political mistake in the career of most overrated? Am I missing something?

Re: Democratic Primary Push for White House
 

Once Klobuchar and Buttegieg drop out likely after Super Tuesday, Biden will start collecting more delegates. Bernie will make a showing, but Biden will end up winning. Bloomberg showed in the debates he isn't the candidate that will beat Trump. The question will be how many Sanders voters refuse to vote for Biden in the general election.

The democrats aren't putting a lifelong independent, who is a socialist, on their ticket. It's not happening.

You have pretty much described the same thing with young people and drinking. Make the legal age for purchase 21 then, like alcohol.

I think Obama might wait to endorse until the field is narrowed down. Obama should be focused on the big picture, which is supporting whatever candidate emerges from the smoke. Whoever it is, Sanders or Biden, it's going to be a tough sell convincing the moderates or progressives to throw their entire weight behind one candidate.

Should be 21 to drink, and 21 to smoke. Penalize driving while high the same way you penalize DUI, and train officers on signs they can look for to spot someone driving while high.

It is far too late for this obvious change to be made.

Could you imagine the effect on the upcoming election if Trump instructed the DOJ to stop prosecuting marijuana sales and made a broad commutation of all minor marijuana charges after the conventions. It would be YUGE.

It'd be one of the smartest moves he could probably make and it would immediately boost his minority vote.

So he probably won't do it :D

I actually think he will try something like this. The candidates the Dems put up are white rich and very little holds the african american man to them.

Trump made it a point in his state of the union to recognize men and women of color. He attended a fresh start graduation while the dems were bickering on stage (doubt that made the msm), he has been touting historic unemplyment rates. I believe a grand gesture is coming that Trump sees as a knockout punch.
Remember the line what have you got to lose. If I were Trump's marketing manager, I would have an ad that starts off with the 7 (mostly old) white people fighting about who can get the "black and brown" people's vote, then flash 2015 unemployment numbers and 2020 numbers, ending with Trump saying what have you got to lose.

It was a smart play putting Pence as his coronavirus czar, if Pence fails he can blame it all on Pence, if Pence succeeds he can take credit for putting Pence in charge. And he doesn't have to worry about messaging or Pence saying something he doesn't like because Pence is a Trump loyalist.

I thought she might stay in to grab Minnesota delegates away from Bernie..cause he is a threat there

She was the best candidate in the field.

So glad annoying garbage Mayor Pete is out...of course I would have liked to hear trump keep calling him Alfred e Newman some more

Re: Democratic Primary Push for White House
 

At this point it's clear. The democratic party would rather have Trump win again than Bernie Sanders become president. All these people dropping out right before Super Tuesday tomorrow is to get their delegates over to Biden. Nothing to do with beating Trump.

That way they don't lose their moderates and can just rage against Trump for 4 more years to get their base fired up for 2024 for their run against Trump Jr.

I did enjoy interacting with Buffalo Bob today, C Red (who i always thought was one of the most reasonable posters on here) ... you I thought was a weed smoking dude for all these years, I come back to the board after a few years and, to my surprise, youre a hard core trump fan.

Re: Democratic Primary Push for White House
 

[QUOTE=Giantone;1245741]Now you're just being stupid.[/QUOTE]Why so, it was just a mind exercise. Remember when the Constitution was written the highest electoral vote was the president and the 2nd vote getter was the vice president. Granted they quickly change that, but I just wonder if you constantly had the 2 top vote getters in president and vice president how our country would've been different. Obviously since they would be from different aspects there would be more inclination that if the top guy was gone the opposition would get the presidency. It actually wasn't referring to trump and Hillary even I referenced it, as much as just over the past 250 years how it would have gone.

Other than Biden she was the only democrat I could listen to speak without wanting to throw a brick at the TV set. Glad Pete is gone, why he seems to think he constantly needs to remind everyone he is gay is beyond me. The identity politics in this country is getting out of hand. How about we all just identify as human, regardless of race, creed or sexual orientation?

Of course there aren't any Democrats that "hate." Oddly I have heard quite a few liberals wish President Trump to drop dead. I don't think there has been a politician in the USA I have had more disdain for than Hillary Clinton, yet I never wished her physical harm, yet us Republicans are considered the party of hate.

I just got back from voting for Biden. looks like another one of those elections where my precinct gets a total of less than 200 voters. There are actually two precincts at the church I vote at.
