No. We're here to stay and we are making political ground every year now.

I think this is normally the point where your ilk says to 'deal with it or move to a different country.'

When I gets fully legalized then you will see an industry that of course will market their product. Think beer commercials.

You lack vision, nihilist.

Looks like a struck a nerve. I'm fine with weed, and I think it absolutely should be legal. But people who make it their #1 priority are insufferable. I mean I get it, u started in high school because it was cool and never grew out of it. That's cool. But it shouldn't dominate your everyday life and 50% of your conversating ability. It's like adults who still talk about Warcraft and shit

What have you done personally to help the movement gain political ground?

Being legal at the state level doesn't change much for me. Let me know when I can own guns AND grow plants legally and I'll get off my stoned ass to vote for the measure. Until then I'll continue smoking illegally as a gun owner like any other day.

And lol at advertising like beer commercials. Smh nope.

Who said it was anyone's top priority, political of otherwise. My top political goal is a viable third party. Little progress on that front. Privately, I have very diverse interests. That does not mean I don't enjoy getting baked from time to time.

That being said I don't see what the problem is with enthusiasts anymore then the guys that organize Oktoberfest or similar festivals surrounding alcohol.

Seems like you are tying to strike a nerve. It's not particularly subtle.

And you don't think a legal industry will advertize? First amendment doesn't mean much to you relative to the second.

Fuzzy you can laugh all you want... You don't see cigarette ads on TV, and even alcohol commercials have strict rules of what they can and can't depict. You can't show beer games, people chugging beers, taking shots, etc. I'm not so sure they'd be running the type of as you are thinking for weed tbh

I have not said anything about certainty regarding a type. I am just saying that the industry will advertise. Of course the FDA et al will regulate but that is besides the point.

And I am laughing at him because I know he is one of the 'nanny state' rhetoric types and I find his stance of cheering for regulation steeped in vitamin I.

Where did I cheer for regulation? I don't care much about the issue. I just said it likely won't be advertised on tv like you implied.

You said there were no cig ads. I also don't think the marijuana industry is going to have the same centralization, corruption, and criminal issues that the cig company's do.

The 'doctors approve of the safety of our cigs' ads were a bit of a problem. Cig industry lost the privilege through their actions.

Just spent some time in Durango, CO. Pot shops are popping up everywhere......just like Vapor shops in Tx. Heavily regulated...there are two labs in town just to grade the pot....anything over a certain level is not allowed. Kinda like 3-2 Beer. :lol
Zero advertising tho.

I don't see people being that brave until it's legal at the federal level. People are still worried about the next administrations justice department.

Again what I personally have done is both irrelevant and none of your business. Why am I not surprised that you spent your time overseas watching television?

We don't know precisely what will or will not happen. You speaking with certainty is a waste of time. I expect a fully legal industry to try and boost sales through advertisement channels they have available. If you don't want to consider the possibility then don't.

I was not the one that brought up TV and as of now there are no laws that preclude it per se.

The rest of your bullshit is meaningless. Your two weeks in amsterdam is not indicative of anything and you confusion over what the pronouns I use is another red herring as it doesn't matter.

Are beer commercials only on TV? I was thinking of how the beer industry pursues advertising to expand sales. Your reading and critical thinking skills are god awful.

I have not said what I have or have not done. You can come up to whatever fantasy conclusions you would like with your version of critical thinking; I still am not interested.

FuzzyLumpkins

And let's just be clear, posturing over what might or might not be allowed in a mostly undefined hypothetical future is a waste of time.

I personally want to go back 40 years or so and find the behavioral psychologist who came up with the notion of not showing consumption on air and slap them.

I only support censorship in cases like with tobacco where they had intentionally misled the public and abused the right of free expression. OTOH, I do not support legislation without such cause.

So you would support censorship of marijuana advertisements even if it was legal in the area where it was broadcast?

it's the Class Warfare, that really got going in the 1970s when "movement conservatism" aka VRWC, got organized, busting unions, cutting taxes on BigCorp and wealthy, and getting their hatchet men in power under St Ronnie The Diseased.
