Virginia Decriminalizing Weed?
Posted by: DMV God ()
Date: July 16, 2014 03:42PM

The decriminalization of less than an ounce of weed goes into effect tomorrow in DC, while Maryland's law goes into effect on October 1, 2014 for less than 10 grams. Meanwhile DC has gathered enough signatures to take the law further and allow residents to grow their own marijuana (up to 3 plants).

When will Virginia take up this issue? Over 23 states (including DC) have laws on the books for decriminalizing it.

This is a great opportunity for a political party to take a stance for individual rights and less govt interference in personal decisions. Unfortunately, the Repubs - who're always claiming to endorse small govt - have the religious zealots wanting to keep a ban on pot (BTW, who are we to ban a plant put here by God?). Likewise, the Dems who tell us the govt should keep their laws off our bodies are still stuck on their nanny-state tendencies to dictate "healthy" behaviors. Both parties suck.

The main proponent in the VA legislature, Harvey Morgan (a Republican doctor btw), retired some years back. David Eglin, a Dem, also was somewhat active but also has retired. There's nobody else who has really picked up the mantle again as far as I know. If properly positioned there probably are people on both sides who likely would support it for various reasons but Without a strong advocate there's not going to be any action.

There's another US VA rep (another Republican btw) who introduced a bill at the Federal level but that's not specific to VA.

Weed shouldn't be decriminalized at all IMO. I"m skeptical of this so called health benefits, have serious doubts about the "billion dollar" pot industry and don't think crime will go down. It's bad enough people are using Colorado and Washington State as guides when there demographics aren't good baselines for the entire US.

Also, Let's not forget that the War on Drugs was initially focused on "hard" drugs, only recently did it turn to pot and did enforcement specifically target certain people.Make no mistake, if they really looked at the pattern of pot usage, arrests would be lower, but I digress.

There is no need to legalize pot and no need to end the WOD. The only people who want to end the WOD are Liberals/Dems because it unfairly targets minorities and Libertarians who just hate government in general.

Its only a matter of time and as you can tell from the map attached out West and the Northeast states don't care. The south is adamantly opposed except for South Carolina and Mississippi which has somewhat lax possession laws. Sounds like another Civil Rights battle, except this one isn't color related! Don't worry, Governor Terry will do something in the next 3 years.

There is a big prescription drug issue in this country and I agree, but pot? Come on Independent! We live in a free country with consequences for our actions and alcohol is prime example of something that was decriminalized back in the 30's. If our country wants to increase taxes, regulate and provide protection to the public, pot is the answer. I have been smoking pot on and off for 30 years and it is a harmless drug, like alcohol. I've tried Oxy and don't like the side affects, but can see how people become addicted, but will power says something for me.

You just claimed alcohol was harmless? Seriously? I think smoking for all of that time has fried your brain cells. BTW, I'm sick and tired of you guys trying to link alcohol w/ pot. Both may be drugs, but they have different properties and different effects.

Wonder if Independent is getting laid? So much anger coming from him! We have a choice to ruin our bodies however we want and people like you have to pay for in higher taxes when I am old and my liver (alcohol) or lungs (smoking) go bad. BTW I only consume pot with brownies, never drink, athletic and in shape considering I am in my mid 40's. The drag on society doesn't apply to me!

When will you be requesting a ban of cigarettes, alcohol, and processed food considering how unhealthy this country has become?

Looks like somebody is upset I disagree w/ his opinion. Typical.

EDIT: BTW, I am not an Independent, you've got that part correct.

And I'm proud to be a 23 y.o. virgin, something most never get to be b/c they're to busy going around having sex w/ just about anybody and getting "slizzard" on the weekends. Tell me, were you 16 when you got fucked? What a loser, you're a terrible role model for kids.

It's funny you sit here and think weed is harmless when it isn't. Putting any carcinogen into your body will lead to problems down the road but you potheads don't think about that do you? Shit, pot's so safe, they're even arresting people who are caught driving while high...imagine that!!!

And yes, in a perfect world, I'd ban cigs and alcohol just based on principle. Those two drugs have destroyed so many lives and the lives of people who aren't consumers (Second hand smoking and Drunk Driving).

I have valid complaints mind you, I'm not some contrarian or troll. I have always been against weed and will continue to be against it. You think smoking won't affect others, you're sadly mistaken and ignorant. But that's to be expected of somebody who does drugs.

It's funny, I'm also athletic and I never get sick and I don't smoke or drink and I bet I'm a better role model than you'll ever be so why don't you shut the hell up and go waste some more of you brain cells.

Ok, so you just ignore all the facts of Colorado? It has done all of the above you stated and more.

You're right. One tens of thousand of people overdose on every year, the other zero. Take a wild guess at which one's which.

If you think a state like CO is a baseline for the US demographically and income wise, you are very stupid. What works in the Netherlands and in Colorado may not work for the USA.

Are you really that dense?

You used the phrase "may not work". Do you honestly believe the current setup we have going is "working"?

By the way, the name calling and your claims of being better than the drug users here really shows your strong moral fiber that you supposedly have. I guess that's just how non-users are.

Oh and are you still into MLP, College Boy?

I'd rather we continue w/ the current setup than legalize it and have to deal with unforeseen incidents.

With any luck, within five. Forget the arguments about health (a country in which alcohol, tobacco, deep fried anything, and bacon are legal and celebrated has no business arguing from the altar of "wellness"), think of the untold billions spent without tangible results on the war on drugs, and the lives ruined because of draconian sentencing laws.

I recently read an interview with Randy "Duke" Cunningham, the disgraced former R-CA released after over eight years in prison. Regardless of your proclivities, it's an interesting read. Suffice it to say, he deeply regrets not only his personal failings, but what he now understands to be his clearly wrong headed, vindictive, knee-jerk conservative voting pattern, especially on mandatory drug penalties.

My politics are antipodal to his, and I wasn't unhappy at his sentencing, but his now thoughtful perspective is worthy of respect and should be required reading for all sides on this issue.

Myself, I don't indulge. I seem to be missing the gene for the "get me out of here" part of Maslow's hierarchy. But I have seen someone very, very close die of chronic alcoholism. I can't say that about the pot smokers I know.

Too bad a lot of pot smokers are on welfare and do t want to get a job. But hey, you probably ENJOY your tax dollars being spent on those losers.

For the sake of having an example I'll compare it to homosexual couples. I don't care what you choose to do in your home. (I am not comparing the two in a legal sense however) When you're out of your home it affects me and everyone outside. only then should I be able to have any say.

All of you who are insulting each other over this are embarrassing yourselves. I don't see any problems with people choosing to use drugs/alcohol. When it affects me (ex drunk driving, impared driving, robbery, street corner dealers etc.) I'll have something to say.

Truth is that a lot of people cannot handle responsibility and they don't need drug use to show that. Some peoples inability to be responsible is the reason I carry a firearm legally when I leave my home. Being responsible is a choice that every person on the planet is capable of making. The problem with virginia is that it's filled with people, like the ones weighing in on this debate insulting each other, who are nothing but ignorant and unintelligent themselves. People who have no idea what they are talking about before they decide to put their two cents into the pot. No pun intended.

I've been lighting up for more than 20 years. I'm in very good shape physically and mentally. (I'm not guessing, I have a doctor that I trust and I make sure I get 2 physicals a year and blood levels checked 4 times a year) i choose to stay in my house when I want to smoke weed. At that point the only person affected by my use is myself. I choose to put weed near the very bottom of the priority list. It doesn't keep me from paying bills. It doesn't keep me from spending quality time with my family. It hasn't gotten me acquainted with the local law enforcement.

CASE AND POINT = If you have the mental capacity to be responsable and can use a substance in your own home, my suggestion is to be happy and do what you do. If you're a complete moron and can't handle responsability, stay away from any mind or mood altering substance. Stay away from me also please...

Most potheads are of the belief they should be able to smoke wherever they want and don't give a crap about anybody else. It's the reason why I will not be going to Seattle because I don't want to smell or see potheads.

If you think that legalizing drugs means people will play by they rules, then you are very naive.

Agree 100% with Independent. It is illegal and that isn't going to stop anyone from using the substance. Making it legal won't cure the stupidity in people whom choose to use it carelessly.

Having the ability to do what I want in the comfort of my home is most important to me. (For all of you looking for a reason to disagree, I do not include child porn,rape,murder etc as acceptable)

You'll never have the opportunity to smell the weed I smoke at home because as I stated before I only use at home and won't drive let alone leave my house if I'm impaired. However just in case I'll put on extra Hugo boss before I go out from now on.

I doubt anyone who drives or does anything out in public while intoxicated will show any concern for your sense of smell.

For that reason I suggest that you invest your energy into something that matters. It'll save you from the stress and negative emotion onset by your want to stay away from the smell. Not that Seattle is the biggest tourist destination in the country but I also suggest you think before allowing something as insignificant as the smell of pot to keep you from traveling.

Time and energy are two things that you can never reclaim. Once they're gone, they're gone. Don't waste them

I guess I'll leave it at that as well because I should follow my own suggestions. I've invested enough energy into this.

Making it legal won't change anything from my perspective seeing as how it is illegal now an doesn't stop me from the occasional use.

Won't change much in terms of how I live my life and choose to smoke on occasion.

Try and realize there are a lot of people you interact with on a daily basis that smoke and in your opinion are "potheads" not just when you shop at Giant or eat out at your favorite steakhouse. I've met people from all different walks of life. People with what you might consider important jobs.

Banks
Federal government
Contractors/architects
Pastors
EMT/Fire Rescue
Police/corrections

Yes I've personally met people whom smoke from each of the listed but specifics will be left out for obvious reasons.

Better hope a "pothead" doesn't show up the next time you need to use your 911 service. Wouldn't want you to have to smell the weed they just smoked on the way to your location.

And all of those people are bad role models because they decided to smoke pot. They broke the law and are lucky they didn't get arrested. Besides, for every "successful" pothead, there are 3 more sucking from the Government teet.

Look at you, you're sooooo edgy. Thinking you know what you're talking about and while believing people care what you think.

I say legalizing it and taxing it would be a great help to the local budgets....but of course they make MORE money off the war on drugs and can't justify all the military budgets, all the seized money they are getting, and the prison complex so THAT"s why we are having a hard time legalizing it.

It's not because of the plant. It's all about the MONEY the prison, police, and military will LOSE when it becomes legal.

Legalizing it will eventually happen around the country, but more conservative areas will be the last to embrace it. The Feds will take there time as well b/c the experiment in Colorado and Washington State is in its infancy.

Twenty three year old virgins like Independent will come around, but it may take his boyfriend to turn him on to it first. Wonder if Independent is a member of McLean Bible Church?

Virginia decriminalized pot in the early 80's.When the Republicans took over the legislature in the Y2k,they recriminalized it.

You are so clueless, weed will not become legalized at the Federal level you moron and tying to claim that I'm gay won't change that either nor will I ever change my mind on this issue.

And no, I don't go to that church.

Simply put, weed is spreading like cancer across the US. Eventually most of the US will be decriminalizing it. It's safer than alcohol and makes a sht ton money for state and local governments.

Point being... If you don't like it, move. My 2 cents.

So you'd let your kid smoke pot? You have no problem with kids selling and smoking pot in school?

You must be one of those parents who don't discipline their kids and are surprised when their little "angel" winds up shooting the school up or is expelled for beating up the teacher.

The health arguments are just so silly. Anybody with the gall to smoke cigarettes has the balls to commit suicide. Someone who smokes a pack a day is paying enormous amounts of taxes ( IE- giving back to society )and will not live long enough to be the true drain on society, an invalid spending 20 years in a nursing home. But, I guess we needed jobs for all the Africans after we forced them out of their countries to rob their minerals ( only reason why you're computer works- Africa)

Nobody wants to be a smoker, an alcoholic or a pothead. We all want to wake up at 5 in the morning, run and work in a job that makes us productive, creative and fruitative instead of degenerate. The food chain simply does not run on that and unfortunately we are far from the time and place in which it will.

I smoke pot to cook, clean, find pleasure in simple things. My mind runs a million miles a minute otherwise. Without pot I'm a compulsive reader, arguer and all around pain in the ass. It turns me into merry maid and happy whore, got a problem with that?

In other words, you're dependent upon and addicted to a drug to get you through the day?

You're a sad little man. Get help.
