Hey bud how about you keep the politics off of this site??
I have no problem with what he posted in my thread. If there is a problem @TreeFarmerCharlie will take care of it. Worry about your thread.
I’ve been trying to be cool about this thread, because it’s about marijuana policies, but when people start taking politics then I’ll start deleting posts.

Legalizing cannabis is inherently a political process. I'm making no judgements about who is better or worse, I'm quoting historical fact.
More Than A Year After Being Confronted With Errors In FBI Marijuana Data, DOJ Punts Investigation To FBI Itself
A Justice Department watchdog took more than a year to reply to an attorney’s letter outlining concerns about apparent defects in how the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) collects and reports data on marijuana possession arrests—then finally responded by suggesting that the FBI should...

No, you didn't, you took a jab at the right and acted like the left isn't in it for the money, too. This is why I come down on political posts. Everyone thinks "their side" is "for the people" when neither of them are. If you guys want to post links to weed policy shit here, then fine, but once people start taking shit about the left or right, then it causes drama.

Please go back and reread what I wrote; Republican US senator Cory Gardner was PRO POT but lost his re-election bid to Democrat John Hickenlooper, who was and remains anti pot. These are facts of history and policy, not opinions.
I carefully and deliberately made no judgements, nor did I gloat about either one. Frankly, I find them both extremely distasteful, albeit for different reasons.
Colorado's weed policy is moving forward with bipartisan support- but very much guided by the Big Pot lobby, which seems to drive out medical marijuana and home cultivation along with making it hard for small commercial operators to turn a profit in order to monopolize the market for themselves.
Again, this isn't partisan, it's the plain and simple truth of what's going on here.
If you're responding to the point of "the GOP will legalize it when they can make a profit from it" that's also a statement of policy made by several Republican campaigns.
The fact is that Colorado's medical cannabis amendment to the State Constitution was done by citizen initiative, over the objections of both houses. The Democrats simply capitalized (specific use; monetized) first.
I did read what you wrote. The problem was with your first sentence which I will quote below
If you guys don't know how to discuss shit, without taking shots, then I can just lock the thread.

I edited my above comment to address that. I took that from Republican policy statements. Not meant as a swipe.
In fact, Republicans nationwide are coming around on weed very quickly. Let us not forget John Boehner's involvement with a cannabis startup shortly after he left office.

You don't get it...the left does the exact same thing. My point is that this forum has a "no politics" rule and I tried to let it slide with this thread, because it was just posts of policy stuff, but you don't seem to understand that.I edited my above comment to address that.

Sorry. I thought I was adding to the discussion.
Guys, it's really not difficult to stay off the political rants, is it? I don't even necessarily disagree with you, but this isn't the place for it.
Thanks for cleaning up the thread.

As someone who hails from the buckeye state I'm all for this version of legalization compared to the farce they tried to pass a couple of years ago.
