Jack Layton was accused of softening his support for the decriminalization of marijuana after two well-known pot activists resigned from running for his party in British Columbia...While I discourage getting stupid, I never thought pot should be illegal.
Before Layton began speaking a handful of protesters showed up at the rally carrying signs protesting his proposed ban on handguns.
The security detail asked them to leave the room and then asked a reporter who wanted to speak to them to take them outside for an interview.
The officers allowed the protesters to stay when many more reporters came over to speak with them.
David Hamel, a member of the National Firearms Association who said he was there to represent only himself, said he feared that a ban on handguns would only be the start of an all-out ban on firearms.
That said, I can see where a politician who wants to trick people into giving up their best means of defense (along with, what, another $175 million for [ahem] smoke and mirrors?) would want them to get as stupid as possible.
Kudos to Mr. Hamel for being a voice of unaltered consciousness. If only more Canadians would follow his lead...
Pot is a very dangerous drug. Should people be in prison for it and JBT raiding homes over it, no.
ReplyDeleteHowever don't for a second be sucked into the bullshit that pot is a harmless drug. Many times pot supporters will say that its no different than alcohol, wrong! Alcohol is water soluble, pot is fat soluble. A person can get throwing up drunk on alcohol and later the next day not have any of the alcohol in their system. Pot on the other hand stays in a person's system for months. It goes to the brain in the fat cells and plays tricks on the brain. That's how people get messed up on the stuff. So the pot is there playing tricks on the brain to one degree or another, regardless if the person can feel high or not. Over time this changes a person to a different person. The proof of this is, the very large percent in the upper 90 percent of pot heads are liberal democrats. As its said by not just me but many people that liberalism is a mental disorder. Which begs the question, is pot behind the mental disorder of liberalism?
Of course, overdosing on alcohol is fatal, overdosing on pot is not possible.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, why can't politicians ever get the clue that ALL rights are for EVERYONE. You can't be consistent by picking and choosing your favorites.
Got it the drunk kills themself and the pot head kills other behind the wheel, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThats funny avgjoe because when i used pot it turned me libertarian and let me see through the BS.
ReplyDeleteScott, thanks goodness you were one of the lucky ones that made that ten percent break.
