It's the patchouli and Nag Champa incense man...But it smells nice in here. Unlike my head. Dark and weird in there.

I find it interesting that so many who are fine with alcohol take such a strong stance against cannabis. No one ever wants to hear it but if you find yourself in that category it is quite clear that you speak from a position of ignorance on the issue and you only know what you’ve been told.
LEO's enforce the law, not make the law. I am certain we can find many topics that LEO'S would consider insignificant laws, but they are still the law.I’ve yet to meet a LEO who would agree that cannabis poses a more significant, or even as much of a threat to the safety of the uninvolved than alcohol.
I don't support either.

????? Many states have legalized it yet it's still on the form.The question that has not been answered:
It it becomes legalized I suspect that question will be dropped from the 4473.
I might start drinking if......
If it becomes legal by federal law, why would they - or better yet - what justification would the feds have for keeping the question on the form? If it's legal there would be no unlawful users so the question no longer makes sense.????? Many states have legalized it yet it's still on the form.
The only difference between Illinois and Indiana at this time is whether or not a user is breaking one law or two when completing the the 4473.
Agreed....IF it becomes legal on a federal level, no reason for it to stay. I thought we were speaking about Indiana law.If it becomes legal by federal law, why would they - or better yet - what justification would the feds have for keeping the question on the form? If it's legal there would be no unlawful users so the question no longer makes sense.
See, what I was alluding to was the likelihood that LEOs might just have a bit more experience dealing with large numbers of people under the influence of both alcohol and cannabis so as to be in a more qualified position to evaluate the potential danger to society for each.I don't support either.

Exactly why we don't need to change any laws.... (LAW CURRENTLY PROHIBITS USE OF MARIJUANA)
No one is telling anyone what to do, (IS EXACTLY WHAT THE LAW DOES)
Disconnect = law currently tells you what to do, but no one is telling anyone what to do.
I can't read your mind. I can only read your words.
No, the current laws are not new. But you intimated that you were in favor of current laws, which does criminalize marijuana, at least at the federal level, and currently at the state level in Indiana.
Scooped by BBI in #213.
Well if you want to get specific, there is effectively no federal law against an individual consuming cannabis. Try to find a federal prosecutor who will file on someone for smoking a joint or even having a few ounces in their possession for personal use, ain't gonna happen. 10lbs and you might get a case filed in federal court but there's going to be other charges to go with it and more likely significant assets to be forfeited.Agreed....IF it becomes legal on a federal level, no reason for it to stay.

Theft, rape and murder create victims.Marijuana has been illegal since well before any of us were born. Sorry, not falling for the idea that the law is telling anyone what to do any more than not to steal or rape or murder.
...If you feel victimized by someone else smoking a joint in another part of the state you may have bigger issues on your hands than concerning yourself with the legality of a plant.
If you don't feel victimized, why should it concern you?
Sorry, not falling for the idea that the law is telling anyone what to do any more than not to steal or rape or murder.
I don't care if you change that law.
If you don't feel victimized, why should it concern you?
Quite the contrary, I assure you. You have a good evening as well.Have a good evening, my friend. I am sorry you are so troubled by this.

......what exactly do you think laws do other than tell people what not to do? That's precisely what a law is, an attempt to get people to not do X under penalty of Y. I'm completely at a loss as to what you think you're saying and obviously I'm not the only one.
You'll pardon me for being confused by your statement we don't need to change the law, then.
Frankly at this point I think you painted yourself in a corner by being condescending and can't backtrack without losing face so you're playing this torturous word game. There is absolutely no way you honestly think a law against X is not the same as telling people to not do X.
Have a good evening, my friend. I am sorry you are so troubled by this.
