I'm ALL for legalization, but the way things are going…nope. Unless there is an across the board agreement to treat cannabis like alcohol then legalization is only going to end up as back door gun control, especially for vets who would benefit from the amazing PTSD healing. Currently they institute that if you have a medical prescription you cannot have guns. That is bullshit. You can be a drunk all day long and have guns, but smoke a joint for pain…nope.
Cannabis is far less harmful in every single way than alcohol. Pilots can get shit faced drunk as long as it's not within their flight time window…but smoke a joint? NOPE…the double standard is insane.
Who would you rather meet in a back alley? A shit faced drunk or someone who smoked a doob?
Unless the feds rule that cannabis be treated like alcohol in regards to employment (IE don't go to work drunk OR stoned and don't get drunk or stoned at work) AND gun ownership they can stick their legalization up their ass sideways. What good is it to have the legal right to use cannabis instead of opiod pain killers if you're going to lose your job for doing so? I'd rather be working with someone who smoked a joint at bed time or even upon waking than someone taking five or six oxy a day, driving, working, etc…insane. And xanex? Are you kidding me? Have few puffs of a joint for anxiety be normal…but take your xanex and be doped up? Right now people drive on antipsychotics with serious side effects, benzos, and pain killers but do so on pot, go to jail. HA and what happens if the two martini business lunch got treated the same way as a few puffs off the clock?
Cannabis legalization as backdoor gun control…nope.
