NH senator vs. pot activist (New Hampshire, marijuana)

[libertarianjury]

all drugs should be legal. Those who would stop me from using any drug I want deserve to receive the same force they would send to attack me.

[NorEastbeats3d]

They make to much money from fines....its so stupid, i was at chili's the other day watching three cops drink they're faces off and acting like douche bags...hitting on underage chicks...you know the standard "i can do whatever i want routine!"...Oxycotin is whats bringing this nation down!

[YorEcnareves]

Gov. Lynch that FOOL will VETO the new Marijuana Law just passed by the Legislature in New Hampshire. We Need to VOTE him out this November, & all the Clowns that Voted NO, if a few more had voted yes it would be a Veto Proof majority.

When President I will END the Drug WAR day one in Office.

Please Get me on the Ballot, and in the white House for 2012 It's time For the Second President From New Hampshire, One that will end this corrupt drug war making politicians, and other Crime lords rich

@YorEcnareves

According to Rasmussen Lynch still leads any Republican by something like 12 points. WTF is wrong with the people of New Hampshire?

[Colortiniz]

You need a little windscreen on that mic.

[stillrob420]

if a law is unconstitutional you do not have to obey it.

[Taors]

It's not like there aren't HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS of growers in the New Hampshire and surrounding areas anyway...like words on a piece of paper are going to stop people from growing cannabis - for medical or recreational use!

This is the absurd logic of politicians like these who don't know what it's really like in the real world. They think their little bullshit decisions will force people to act a certain way, but they're wrong.

Lynch is utter scum if he vetoes this bill.

[fireye2012]

I am sick of  ignorant controlling idiot humans telling me what I can and cannot put into my body. To hell with your kind all the way!

Let freedom be you A-holes!

[wait887]

Hopefully when many of these people die of old age we'll finally be able to end prohibition. FSP. The modern abolitionists.

[nasanction]

I thought that 30 years ago... It doesn't look like that option is worth waiting for...

[harycaray]

Look folks... I've done a few drugs. I have to say, marijuana is the most gentle drug I've experienced. Some of the prescription drugs out there have such harsh side effects and withdrawal symptoms. There IS nothing and there NEVER will be anything that compares to marijuana, in my opinion. Sadly, I believe it will always be a challenge for those who need it, to get it legally.

[mcgrawtim123]

Opiates! That's why were in Afghanistan, eh?

Opiates for thee. Marijuana for me.

Because soon we'll be....

nevermore.

[thisisbunk]

i guess its easier to grow your own than it is to become part of government (so to speak - -as in getting politically active, etc)... also, i know of many people who have or do use pot but my inclination is to say they do not care that it is illegal and still harbor defensive thoughts regarding legaliz/decrim

so, to sum up, the ones who want to use coercion as a tool will do so, by whatever means necessary. and even those who may superficially be a "friend" may not necessarily go all the way.

[99minerkc]

God when is the government going WAKE THE HELL UP! I JUST talked to a neurologist at Dartmouth medical today (I have chronic PAINFUL neuropathy of my feet)about using medical marijuana for pain relief! He said he wants to try another thing first but that the marijuana is a DEFINATE possibility as it works and he HAS patients currently using it with POSITIVE effects! Yes us patients are AFRAID to get busted for using a medicine under a docs supervision due to STUPID GOVERNMENT!

[99minerkc]

My NEUROLOGIST said that marijuana is SAFER than oxecontins(sp)and would rather me use the weed! I hope I don't have to use the marijuana but if that's what the doctor wants me to try, I WILL BREAK THE LAW if I have to as they're not always right!

[lightbeam33]

THey should legalize it for recreational also.Alcohol related crimes are on the rise.

[Dewdaahman]

I'm of the thought that the government should and I believe are mandated to listen to the governed from whence their power comes..

[bbburton]

Politicians, can't control them, can't get rid of them. The perfect pest.

[DefenderOfReason]

Yup, politicians and christians........

[99minerkc]

I'm a Christian who has every intention of SMOKING POT for pain relief if my neurologist says to! I have one more thing he wants to try before marijuana-he wants me to try a pain relieving creme especially made for me. If it works and is not super costly, great, but if it doesn't work I'll be trying pot!

[DefenderOfReason]

Excellent! Enjoy the side effects, and feel no guilt. After all, God created the weed :-)

[samatention]

Cyanide is made by god also natural also.

Arsenic is also made by god and natural also.

Just because it is natural does not make substance harmless.

I do agree drugs use to treat a medical condition such as pot should be able to proscribed by a doc. But not to be had for the asking.

[ninjabunnyman]

Tell me, why is it your business what people do, as long as they don't commit harm against you or others? Why do you want to use the threat of violence against peaceful people? Defensive violence is one thing -- but you're talking about initiating it.

[wait887]

Why don't you keep your nose out of other people's business. Does an individual's body belong to the individual or the government?

[libertyfizz]

Cyanide and Arsenic are poisons which can be used to kill and yet they are legal. Clearly substances which are considerably more harmful than Marijuana. You can never over dose on Marijuana and yet there are massive penalties attached to it's possession. What are the penalties for Arsenic or Cyanide possession?

[thanosied]

Sorry to continue off topic, but I don't think lumping religious beliefs with political views is the right way to attack the problem of oppression. The Oppressor will use religion to oppress those who believe in that religion as willingly as they will use it to oppress those that don't. No need to ostracize someone for their beliefs no matter how silly it may seem to the unbeliever, because in the end, the oppressor will use that to divide and conquer...

[Gilla1ness]

What gets to me is, that there are so many laws in the first place!Man survived for thousands of years with only natural law!Seems that mans ego is what makes him think that laws prevent some bad,or evil thing from taking place!When in fact only mans right ,or naturally good action is what makes the world better,and tribal courts at best!We need the removal of useless,or oppressive laws,and to look to the simplicity of our original constitution!Even the very paper on which it is written!Soapbox!

[hozehd]

freedom to grow your own is what is needed
