I drink alcohol from time to time, and still feel the same way about dumb drunks who don't know when to call it a night as I do about pot smokers. I have taken keys away from more than one dumb drunk who was going to drive home when falling down intoxicated, in fact I may dislike them more than pot smokers...this isn't about the substance to me, it is about poor judgement of most people. Like I said on numerous occasions, if pot smokers and drunks would stay home and not force their vices on others, they would get arrested less and most of America would be happier...and the only thing that keeps society from being totally nuts is standards of behavior we expect of each other, you can call it government overreach, but what is next if pot is legalized? The fact is that most folks have an ego that just will not allow them to use either alcohol or pot and not want an audience.

Then I take it that you are in favor of the possession and use of alcohol being banned. Is that correct?

I'm in favor of people displaying adult behavior, if you can do so and they legalize pot, I'm all for the freedom...but something tells me after years of dealing with pot smokers that they will abuse the freedom and impose on the freedom of others, like many of them do now.

Yea because everyone that drinks alcohol displays adults behavior? I’d say it’s actually opposite.

Look at my post above, I believe that is exactly what I said, I don't like out-of-control drunks either.

Sorry about that, totally misread your post last night.

Were you drunk or baked?

lol not gonna lie, a little of both I think. Didn’t eat hardly anything yesterday and after mowing had a few beers and then took my gummy for bed and it knocked me on my butt.

Wait, they already do that now? Well, let’s make it illegal, then. That’ll fix it. Oh yeah, it already is.

I'm not going to change my opinion no matter how long this thread goes, and I don't believe I will change your opinion...like I said, stay at home with your weed, probably no one will ever know.

I don’t smoke weed. I just don’t need anyone telling me I can’t.

The one thing I have learn to be a fact in America, someone will always be telling you what to do or not do.

This^^^^^

You might want to reevaluate your beliefs The majority was against the jab and 69% Support Legalization I think you might be out of touch.

Yada, Yada, Yada...

That’s true, and I’ll keep telling those people to mind their own business.

I knew this would come up eventually, the old "gateway drug" argument..........

How many of those kids that "smoked a little weed" had already been sneaking beers from dad's stash? Wine from momma's, or liquor from the cabinet? Almost every single one of them. So wouldn't that make alcohol the prolific "gateway drug"? Remind me again, which one is legal?

I've been to Vegas since it was legalized there, smelt it on the streets too. People doing what they want to do for fun. No different than smelling vomit from the "professional" convention attendees that drank too much and puked in the hotel hallway, elevator, or on the street. How about the old rich guys strolling thru the casino showing off the potentially human trafficked "escort" they paid for? You don't go to Vegas unless you're ok with a certain amount of depravity. Unless of course you just enjoy being offended, which come to think of it is a depravity as well.

Majority Of Texans Support Marijuana Legalization, Including Plurality Of Republican Voters, Poll Finds

https://www.marijuanamoment.net/maj...urality-of-republican-voters-poll-finds/

Three in five Texans, including a plurality of Republicans, support legalizing marijuana, according to a new survey.

The Texas Lyceum Poll found that 60 percent of adults in the state back the reform—a 14 percentage point increase compared to a 2015 survey they conducted that asked about cannabis policy opinions. This round, 31 percent said they oppose legalization and 10 percent said they were unsure.

Of the 31 percent of Texas adults who disagree with legalization, 42 percent said they would at least support decriminalizing marijuana by making possession punishable by a citation and fine, but 47 percent said they were against even that modest reform.

“Taken together, 73 percent of Texans support either full legalization or decriminalization of marijuana in Texas according to 2024 polling,”

All depends on who you ask and how you ask the question...polling 1200 Texans and then calling that a majority of Texas is an old and deceptive media stunt.
