Theres so much hypocrisy it isn't even funny. I do love the religious politicians they say things like "I live my life by the book, I have christian values" blah blah..But then they turn around and make something illegal that was put here by their so called god? Hypocrites.
That said NY is still idiotic. The far left feminist capital of the nation..I would not be able to live in a place like NY. Just the stupidity of its residents would drive me insane.
That said, we are trillions in debt, they complain about it and spends hours upon hours debating about it..How about we stop a 10 billion dollar a month UNNECESSARY WAR? Also, we simply MUST stop wasting time and MONEY on throwing 18 year old KIDS in jail for a little bit of weed. What a huge waste of time/energy and most importantly money. At this point its irrefutable. Decriminalize but don't legalize.
Another thing is how you have idiotic mindless americans constantly preaching "freedom of this, freedom of that freedom freedom freedom!" but yet, the government dictates what we can and cannot put into our own body in the privacy of our own home? Doesn't sound like freedom to me.
One single word can be used to dicuss why cannabis is illegal and that word is GREED. Hydrocodone, an addictive narcotic pain reliever is THE most prescribed med in the nation. It's poison and addictive. When people realize weed works a whole helluva let better for killing pain, without the addiction and without the nasty side effects people would be like "hey, screw this hydrocodone ill get weed"..The rich and powerful pharmaceutical CEOS do not want that happening as they will lose BILLIONS. So they line politicians pockets to make sure they lobby against it. Very simple. It's GREED.
Great idea. Sick of seeing our jails and courts inundated with petty drug charges. But lets keep race out of it. I don't care what race you are. If your braking the law, face the consequences.
They are mentioning race because its a legitimate true statistic. YOU'RE making it a race issue. Apparently in NY, statistically blacks and hispanics get busted for drugs more than whites..
This is a good idea. Consider the amount of revenue this will bring in. Consider the increased economic value of those that are not stigmatized by these convictions. Consider the prison savings. New York is finally doing something right.
I wonder what Rockefeller thinks about this, Cuomo will never join the bilderbock group. Rockefeller provided us with prohibition for his own gain (billions and billions) but he is so compassionate that he did not care about the pain and suffering just the money.
The police are there to protect us from violence. Why are we filling jails with non violent people, and why are the tax payers footing the BIG bill? I think this money would be better spent on schools.
The idea of the police profiling neighnorhoods, stopping people and frisking them in the US is a police state abomination. So is the war of drugs decades long joke. It reeks of the GOP and the rot that has corrupted our freedom. This must end.
New York has become a laughing stock and a model of how liberals are. You take California and New York and you see the downward trend of this Country. They are so backwards they need a window in their stomachs just to see daylight. Socialism is the epitome of failure. I know it is hard to grasp that we are close to 20 trillion dollars in debt, but our representatives had better wake the hell up and get a clue as to what is important in this Country. Romney 2012!!!!
