Marijuana wins big on election night

Voters in California, Massachusetts and Nevada approved recreational marijuana initiatives while an initiative in Maine was leading in the polls Wednesday morning. The 2016 election has proved to be the biggest electoral victory for marijuana reform since 2012. (Daron Taylor/The Washington Post)

Voters in California, Massachusetts and Nevada approved recreational marijuana initiatives Tuesday night, and several other states passed medical marijuana provisions, in what is turning out to be the biggest electoral victory for marijuana reform since 2012, when Colorado and Washington first approved the drug's recreational use.

In addition to the states above, local outlets in Maine are declaring victory for that state's legalization measure, but with 91 percent of precincts reporting just a few thousand votes separate the "Yes" and "No" columns.

A similar legalization measure in Arizona did not gain sufficient support to pass, with 52 percent of voters rejecting it.

On the medical side, voters in Florida, North Dakota and Arkansas have approved medical marijuana initiatives. Voters in in Montana also rolled back restrictions on an existing medical pot law.

Reformers were jubilant. “This represents a monumental victory for the marijuana reform movement,” said Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, in a statement. “With California’s leadership now, the end of marijuana prohibition nationally, and even internationally, is fast approaching.”

It is against federal statutes. It is not enforced because Obama is lawless. Colorado people will be going to prison for trafficking after January.

Has he (trump) stated that?

Yes.

As another example, Trump is pro-abortion. The left knows this. But they know he will enforce the laws. They asked back in the summer, "what if an abortion law is passed of some sort and she gets an abortion?" or something close, and he said she should go to jail. They were trying to trap him or get him to double talk like democrats do. Didn't work.

The law is the law. He will enforce it. Obama does not. Colorado is breaking the law big time. So is Oregon. I look forward to all those felony convictions on "good" people.

I'd laugh at your play on words, but these evil people pushing this extremely harmful legislation are no laughing matter.

Donald Trump hasn't decided where he stands on the issue... (i.e. Trump hasn't wet his finger and placed it in the proverbial political wind as of yet). Now that he's been elected President, he can be honest about his secular humanist agenda.

Donald Trump softened his tone on marijuana legalization on Thursday, saying at a political rally that states should be allowed to legalize marijuana if they chose to do so. Trump reaffirmed that he supports making medical marijuana available to patients who are very sick.

"In terms of marijuana and legalization, I think that should be a state issue, state-by-state," Trump said while taking a handful of questions during a political rally at a casino outside Reno on Thursday afternoon.

"Marijuana is such a big thing. I think medical should happen — right? Don’t we agree? I think so. And then I really believe we should leave it up to the states."

He has also expressed support for medical marijuana, telling Bill O'Reilly in February that he's, "in favor of medical marijuana 100%."

"I know people that have serious problems and they did that they really — it really does help them," Trump said.

"We're losing badly the war on drugs," Trump said at the time, according to an article in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. "You have to legalize drugs to win that war. You have to take the profit away from these drug czars."

Very bad idea. Making drugs easier to access just makes more drug addicts.

It is worth looking at Portugal’s experience in dealing with drugs.
I would prefer to take the money out of hands of the drug cartel.

http://www.medicaldaily.com/portugal-drug-experiment-heroin-decriminalizing-drugs-382598

… "“Drug addiction has become one of the many social problems that we've relegated to the criminal justice system,” wrote Kara Dansky, senior counsel at American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). “But as with homelessness and mental illness, handcuffs and jail cells haven't made things better and have cost much more than the treatment and services that can.”
In Portugal, social costs have fallen since the program came into place, Hughes pointed out. 90 percent of Portugal’s anti-drug resources go towards treatment and prevention, and only 10 percent go to punishment. In other words, the health costs have gone up, though overall social costs have gone down, because the decrease in criminal justice costs offsets the increase in health costs.”…

Of course he does, and I really do not care what California does, as long as they leave my state alone. Big states rights advocate here!
