Politics Sarah Palin: Smoking Pot Is No Big Deal

Well that is true.... We got to fix our economy, try to stop that oil leak, the health care system now in disarray because we don't know whats up and whats down. And apparently, the unions are running the government right now. So yea, i gotta say, pot is not high on my to-do list if I were a politician....

i see these rationales not to do anything about an issue because it is not at the top of a list of priorities
but why is it that an issue should not be addressed only because it is not among the most pressing problems needing to be solved
the congress spends much of its time voting to recognize things such as 'national ice cream day' ... somehow, that measure does not appear to be among our nation's most pressing issues

That's a very Alaskan way to think. Alaska's number one cash crop, off the books, is marijuana because of the amazing growing season you get and the vast amounts of land to hide a field of pot. A lot of people don't realize it but marijuana law enforcement is more lax in Alaska than it is in California.
 
Wouldn't it be ironic if hemp could soak up the oil spill?

That would change some perspectives on it's legality I think.
 
What's this? That makes no sense. I was told Sarah Palin is an ultra-right wing nutjob whose a die hard religious right social conservative. Obviously this story is a lie, the hyper partisan liberals wouldn't misrepresent her so its the only answer!

In all reality this is likely the most likely way of handling this in the next decade is more of a defacto decriminilization then a full out legality of it. I think eventually the latter will come but this is probably the stance that is more likely in the near term.

even a blind squirrel gets a nut once in a while
 
The video couldnt play for me but if she doesnt believe it should be decided by the states and decriminalized at the federal level, she is just blowing smoke.

I'm not sure why it isn't legal, except that the government must be somehow making more money off its illegality than they would if they legalized and taxed it.

The government isn't that worried about money.
 
Well there's one thing I agree with Palin on then

I have to agree with her too. I have been very hard on Palin, but I have to admit that I like her a little better now. Smoking pot is none of the government's damn business, and I am glad to find out that Palin sees it that way too.

Yea, knowing BP, if hemp was legalized, they would be selling weed that was used on oil spills as a health supplement. :mrgreen:
