Should ND legalize Marijuana

[701FishSlayer]

Measure goes up in smoke, again.

 

[Kurtr]

I pretty much overdid it as a youngster.

I'm lucky it didn't push me to harder stuff. It sure did some of my friends/classmates IMO.

I feel like it stunted my social life. You find yourself hanging out with others of the same cloth and that's a BIG hamper on developing a wider perspective on life.

It also might also have effed up my organizational and math skills. I was put in advanced classes in 6th grade and did well - but quickly lost interest after "having fun" became more important. By the time I got to graduate school I had to have a tutor for calculus, etc. WTF

So I get weed. I get the pros. I get the cons. Like anything else in life it's a double-edged knife.

I actually skipped that measure on the ballot because I'm so squarely on the fence that I can't decide one way or another. So I chose stay out of it and let the more decisive / interested decide.

I'm kinda glad it got shot down, but solely because I don't want to smell that crap every time I'm out in public for the rest of my days.

Thats a great take. Its honest and if some one is against it with views like that its your right. Really anything if you have a logical reason for or against i like having a smart debate about it. Its the people like down here that had the commercials it is making a generation of crack heads and meth users that is annoying . Just straight fear mongering

Doesn't break my heart at all.

Everyone has the choice to NOT do something.

If you can't or won't or don't want to, that's on you.

Nobody is forcing your hand.

Some of us are weak.

I voted for it, because we have enough laws telling us what we can/cant do

I voted for it even tho I don't partake anymore. Thought it would be neat to have the option to walk into the store and buy a doobie if one so chooses. It doesn't really matter though for the smokers. It's readily available if you want it anyways. Probably cheaper on the streets too. I always wanted it to pass so a guy had access to top shelf shit though. I'm a snob.

I don't believe that either.

Everyone can do it, if they WANT to.

No excuses, if you need help doing it, get it.

(I'm using "you" in general terms mind you guy)

Aunt Bonnie, cannot go with out it, absolutely cannot. Its an all day, all evening, all the time lifestyle.

I agree, had the same people who were able to get 60+ percent of the population to agree with medical purposes had the same game plan with recreational. At the end of the day I still believe north dakota is too ultra conservative to allow recreational use to be allowed in our small town communities. Let's hope that the federal government makes the right decisions to relax the laws now, so that we can get the state to see that money can be made that can be beneficial for all of North Dakota.

You can go here and see how the votes went county by county

your body will do what your mind tells it to.

I also voted yes. Not because I’m good with “drugs” Im not. But Im for personal choice and having another taxable revenue stream to offset some of the other areas we are taxed too hard in now. Also weed is everywhere and anywhere in ND now. It’s not going away and most look at it like alcohol at this point. If people want to smoke weed and be pieces of shit there’s a high likelyhood they already are pieces of shit. I’d rather see legal weed here instead of the cartels shipping it up laced with who knows what…..

I also voted no on changing the name of “deaf” or “insane”. You can change the name of anything you want it doesn’t change what it is you are describing. If I was deaf I’d have a hard time being offended by being called deaf if I were being described as “insane” I’d probably be like “shit I should get that looked at”

I think it was more of the " dumb " in the school for the deaf & dumb

The county by county was pretty eye-opening going through for the different measures. I skipped measure one but was surprised to see there was a decent number no's. Not at all surprised trip was one tho

the fact that anyone voted no on #1 tells me i am surrounded by a good number of people who have no idea what they are voting for or why

I was kind of thinking the same thing. I'm not exactly the most politically-correct person I know, but I have no problem with the suggested changes.

 

[riverview]

the fact that we have to vote on something like this boggles my mind

"It's" no way over: Have a Bud Heavy and share in the joy with me of another speed bump:

Thats exactly why I voted no. It’s the principle of it. For fucks sake drop the “dumb”. Nobody fucking cares. Stop wasting everyone’s fucking time because someone somewhere is offended by words.

I know exactly what Im voting for and why. I stand on my principles and don’t care what you or anyone else thinks tbh.
