It's all ing bull . They should talk about what they know about.
still suckering "Christian" moralist and trying to impose their morality on the country.
btw, the biggest sector that contributed to anti-marijuana proposition in CA was the alcohol sector, so I expected Fox Repug network is looking suck in some alcohol advertizing, certainly not lose any for taking a pro-marijuan stand or even no stand.
What are they saying and who specifically?
In the past I've seen Hannity talk on the legalization issue, he did not seem for it but not adamantly opposed either.
OReilly is the only one I've seen who is completely opposed. He is stuck on his "what about the children" argument, which doesn't make sense.
FOX News needs to quit their ing and just go to Colorado or Washington and light up some doobies and smoke them.
Gov. Brown tells the Obama administration to back off on marijuana
California Gov. Jerry Brown said Sunday on CNN that the Obama administration should respect states that choose to legalize the use of marijuana for medicinal or recreational purposes.
“It’s time for the Justice Department to recognize the sovereignty of the states,” Brown said, noting that a number of states had medical marijuana laws. “I believe the president and the Department of Justice ought to respect the will of these separate states.”
Colorado and Washington state both legalized the recreational use of marijuana on Election Day. However, the federal Drug Enforcement Administration still classifies marijuana as a schedule I drug: the most restrictive classification, reserved drugs with a high potential for abuse and no accepted medicinal value.
Brown said that federal law shouldn’t “nullify reasonable state measures” like regulated marijuana legalization.
“We are capable of self-government,” he added. “We don’t need some federal gendarme to come and tell us what to do. I believe in comity toward the states, that’s a decent respect.”

I was watching First Take and they were talking about NFL players using it, and Bill Romanowski of all people was pulling out every bull 50's anti-weed propaganda take I've heard of.
Yes, THAT Bill Romanowski, the same ing got that used steroids and ended his teammate's career by punching his eye socket out.
This is where it's time for Obama to start backing up that "forward" motto his campaign used. There's no valid reason why he shouldn't back off the war on drugs now.
the one who openly talks about breaking players fingers when there was a pile up just for the fun of it?
After Passage Of Legalization Initiative, 220 Marijuana Cases Dismissed In Washington State
Following the successful passage of a state referendum legalizing small amounts of marijuana for recreational use, two county prosecutors in Washington state have dismissed hundreds of misdemeanor marijuana cases. Although, the effective date of the referendum is not until December 6, the prosecutors used their discretion to apply the new rule retroactively.
The move underscores how, even though marijuana possession remains illegal under federal law, state initiatives legalizing possession for recreational use in Washington and Colorado could have far-reaching consequences. As a practical matter, virtually all arrests and prosecutions for marijuana possession occur at the state level.
The Department of Justice could sue to block enforcement of the law. Thus far, the federal government has not indicated if they will directly challenge Colorado and Washington.
In 2010, over 750,000 people in the United States were charged with possession of marijuana only.

Having an mj arrest record (no conviction, no jail) does wonders for your job prospects.
The only thing I can think of is how does he sell it? If he goes "states rights" doesn't he get abortion backlash? Or does he just not care about that?
(honest question, no ulterior motive)
Sure there is. He's a closet republican and supports the war on drugs.
I bet Barry won't remove mj from Schedule I because of the black angle. The Repugs and "Christians" and PIC would be all over his ass saying he was doing black stoners a favor.

Great points by Doocy. Hate it when people get "potted up"
That's a total cop out that might have flied in his first term but now that he's won his 2nd term sure as isn't gonna fly now. Obama just won a reelection by completely ignoring and shrugging off everything the Christian right said about him, it's a total reflection on his weaknesses as a leader if he's gonna let asinine accusations they might come up with stop him from doing the obvious. Don't single out the religious right for the war on drugs, they're a huge part of it but so are the Democrats.
The reason why Obama is gonna keep weed on Schedule I is because he's in big pharma's and the privatized prison industry's back pocket.
Yeah, once you let that states rights thing outta the bag, it's hard to stuff it back in.
He's in his 2nd term so he shouldn't care about abortion backlash. He just won a reelection not giving a about backlash from the religious, "state rights!" crowd, I'm tired of other liberals using that as an excuse for Obama.
On another note, it is really sad that we live in a country so infected by religion where if you give states the right to legalize weed, people will respond with, "Well then, why can't states control what women do to their own body!" It's never gonna happen, but I don't think the legalization of weed should be a state right. There should be a federal law legalizing weed in all 50 states to make sure Alabama and Mississippi can't continue to keep it illegal as a reason to incarcerate minorities.
I wasn't trying to use it as an excuse, but I can see how the game is played from afar. My opinion is that "he should just not care about it". The question was will he? Weed being illegal is dumb, and this is coming from someone who has absolutely no desire to smoke.
What about casinos, pros ution, and unions? No one has a problem with states making the call on those issues. Americans seem to pick and choose what they think should be decided by the states and what should be decided by Uncle Sam.
legalizing drugs or not is just as little of a federal issue as gay marriage tbh
why do they give a , do they seriously think people smoking weed is going to impact their life - just a reason to have a for the sake of it
"why do they give a ,"
because they know their Bible-worshipping rural asshole puritans want to stop anything that's pleasurable, from women having sex to anybody smoking dope. Fox knows exactly how igorant, stupid, and moralistically obsessed their bubba viewers are, and sucker them in like the best TV evangelists and tent meeting snake handlers.
Is this where you get really butthurt about abortion and gay marriage but insist you're OK with abortion and gay marriage?
They'd be left with very little to talk about imo....maybe it'd turn into a Christian network, only they'd probably up very often since most of those clowns are likely fake Christians.
yeah using it as an excuse to be a bigot and get away with it
My butt isn't hurt at all. I think abortion is baby killing and the easy way out but I would rather have it be legal and not have to hear women about it. Personally, I think abortion should only be legal in cases of rape, incest, and if the mother is going to die and maybe in the first 3 months. If it's not under those cases then tough , LMAO! I don't have a problem with sexuals having sex and getting married. They can do whatever they want.
And I would love for Texas to have casinos and legal weed.
