Publix Heiress:$800K to Stop Med. Marijuana

[coredumped]

her response was "why don't we legalize prostitution then?"

Not to derail the conversation too much, but why not legalize prostitution? Like everything else that's banned, it's happening anyway.

Next time she says tell her:
Having sex with someone: Legal
Having sex with someone after buying dinner: Legal
Having sex with someone and giving them cash: Illegal
Having sex with someone, giving them cash, filming it: Illegal
Having sex with someone, giveng them cash, filming it, and then selling the DVD: Legal

Sorry, back on topic, the prohibition on weed is the same as the alcohol prohibition. Same results too: crime, loss of taxes, and anyone that wants it, can still get it.

Wow Publix that's pathetic.
Very true, cannabis is going to come regardless of how much money they fork up.
I had a debate with my mother on the topic of cannabis her response was "why don't we legalize prostitution then?"
A lot of people are not educated on how beneficial cannabis can be for our society.   
Paper- the plant grows way faster than trees
Concrete(hempcrete)- concrete with less toxins
Alternative medicine- less life threatening side effects with real recovery
Clothing
These are just some of the beneficial uses from this miraculous plant.
Just imagine all the jobs it's created in the states that legalized it.
I'm pretty sure it affects logistics/distribution, restaurants, farmers, inspectors and more.

November is right around the corner guys!

And it can cure baldness, eradicate world hunger, stop global warming and find all the Pokemons for you!

Children cannabis OD's are increasing in Colorado.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/27/health/colorado-marijuana-children/

How many have died? I'm going to go with ZERO. Seeing as that a lethal dose of THC is next to impossible to reach, even for children.

How many children die of accidental overdose of prescription medication? A quick google shows that 150 children go to the emergency room everyday for accidental overdose of pharmaceuticals.

Cannabis should be treated the same as other drugs, kept locked up away from children. What you point to in Colorado is adults being irresponsible. And a number of 34 children per YEAR is nothing compared to 150 per DAY.

How I wish the first one was true, I'd have hair down to my knees.

As to if I'll stop shopping there? I can't promise I'll never go to publix again but I will make an effort to go there much less. I don't know what the personal politics of all the other companies are but I'm pretty passionate about this (while not taking it too seriously).

I don't really care enough to stop shopping at Publix. There are plenty of other, far more pressing (IMO), issues to worry about. Hell, I still drink Coke and their human rights record is abysmal. I think the only company I have managed to somewhat boycott is Nestle.

If you read the article, it simply reports the case of children coming in having consumed excess amounts of cannabis have increased.

There is a secondary market in Colorado for Cannabis in non-smokable form, some of it looks like candy, hence the uptick.

I read the article, but "Children cannabis OD's are increasing in Colorado" is some moral panic



bullshit phrasing

^amen...


I would love to know the actual numbers of Death from Alcohol vs Marijuana... just a hunch ,my guess would be , the latter has much lower numbers.

Legalize it already.   The tax revenue alone would be staggering.
