Pennsylvania used to have wine vending machines that did pretty much the same thing. The were later removed when people stopped trying to use them. Government requirements were so onerous that you had to put in your license and blow into a receptacle and if you "passed" you could select your wine.

Not at all. This would basically be telling people that they can no longer avoid the consequences of ignoring morality. We currently live in a nation where there are few to no actual consequences for immoral acts..... You got pregnant outside of a marriage, get an abortion. You dropped out of school and ended up going to jail, we'll pay to feed and house you. You're too stupid to get a decent paying job, we'll give you free healthcare if you walk into the ER. LET THESE PEOPLE DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR CHOICES!!!!!!! Let the bodies stack up in the streets so the next generation can learn from their mistakes.

Many of us are more than capable of running our own lives. You don't see us because we're not making news demanding for free abortions, increased child care vouchers, and more food stamps. That's why you don't realize how many of us there really are.

Hello :2wave:



Perhaps, though I still don't think that will help. Besides, elementary schoolers are not allowed to leave the campus without adult supervision. I think middle schools are like that too.



Yeah, kids probably shouldn't be smoking weed. But instituting a bunch of insane laws and regulations will not help the situation, and will likely just make things worse. What you suggested sounds good on paper, but when instituted it will create messy and unnecessary bureaucracy.

Hi MMC. It is all a bit rediculous until they ultimately decide the full legality of whatever it is. The Feds gave up their right to the states to regulate alcohol with the 21st Amendment, but the Feds still have primacy over controlled substances. Also, while they continue to restrict cigarette sales, states are expanding access to marijuana. If CO or WA permit cigarette sales through a vending machine, then I see no different with marijuana. If cigarette vending machines are banned, then these should not be permitted.

I can, the problem is that others can't. I don't need the State telling me what I shouldn't do. I was raised properly so I already know. Unfortunately the same does not seem to be able to be said about massive percentages of the US population at this time.

If you don't know not to have sex before you're ready to be a parent, maybe becoming one (whehter you want to or not) will teach you that lesson, and you'll pass it on to your child. If you don't know you can't get a decent job in this country without a high school diploma or with a criminal record, maybe you don't deserve a decent job.

Legal or illegal, there's always going to be roughly the same ratio of people who love weed vs absolutely hating the hell out of it. Considering how easy it is to get weed even when illegal, the only significant changes I foresee with complete national legalization is the quality of the marijuana, but that's more or less it.

Personal anecdote: the stigma of getting a medical marijuana card sort of dissipated within the last couple years, and I thought, oh what the hell, it's been ten years, let's check this out. A few observations:

1.Getting a medical marijuana card in California is incredibly difficult, so when you're in the "office" with the doctor, be sure to memorize the following words: "I sometimes have trouble sleeping." Got that? Good, you've got your marijuana card.
2.Dispensaries are everywhere.
3.Most of said dispensaries are empty. I went into around half a dozen, and only once was another customer in the store.
4.I've seen dispensaries in my neighborhood come and go. It appears to be like any business.
5.Legal or not, and removing the skeevy nature of acquiring marijuana only to find out it's oregano, I came to this final conclusion: I absolutely hate marijuana. It is estimated that Eskimos have fourteen words for snow. Based on all the varieties and combinations of sativa and indica, I can personally testify that there are at least twenty words for "paranoia."

It's not for everyone, and legalization isn't going to change that.

Sugar is, for the most part, an Upper. Marijuana, Alcohol and Tobacco are Downers. They depress the body's ability to make decisions and to react instantly to potential threats. THAT is what makes them immoral.

I don't see State as a Religion. I see it as a means to enforce proper Morality on a population that is either unable, unwilling, or both to live to any moral standard.

I am well aware that alcohol is involved in pretty much all Christian (not just Catholic) religious services. Let their God change water into wine for them, as he supposedly did in the Bible.

We don't allevaite personal responsibility. We're simply reacting to the fact that the vast, extreme super-majority of Americans have proven that they have no willingness or capability of living a properly moral life when left to their own devices. It should be up to society to enforce that morality, but American society no longer even bothers to try to do that. Therefore only the Government is left to fill that void.

Not at all. The rules should apply to everyone equally. Rich, poor, old, young, etc.... The difference is that since I already follow the laws, the impact of that enforcement would be much less on me than on most other people.

I have said that MOST of the American citizenry cannot be trusted to run their own lives. For many of us (though still a small minority) these changes wouldn't affect us at all because we already lead decent and moral lives.
