I remember that, what made you change your mind? I'm not being a smartass, but am truly curious what caused you to change your stance.

Mitch is a true textbook sleazy politician, he bounces left to right and cozies up to whomever as long as it benefits him, constituents be damned.

I’m personally less concerned about dope than I am preserving and strengthening the horse racing industry. Gambling is a no brainer and everyone benefits….except the degenerates, and they can easily find a way to be a degenerate.

Mitch has as much of a vote in the state legislature as I do, so blaming Mitch for weed being illegal in Kentucky doesn’t make much sense really.

Mitch has a lot more control over the Republican side of KY politics then you give him credit for. Have no doubt if he told the red shirts to kill this bill, it was DOA.

I hear what you’re saying and have no doubt that’s true but my statement is true as well. The vote is on the red shirts not Mitch. If they vote for Mitch’s stance rather than their constituents’ then they need to be primaried.

I agree, but we are talking a bunch of money to get elected and re-elected. Mitch holds a lot of power in the party, and a couple of phone calls will cripple a candidate he does not like, and those deal makers in Frankfort know the game.

Interesting take. Ed, you need to listen to this. These are the people that determine the election.

Yeah…..no.
Been there. Lol.
Pot helped me in the sense i was an anxious mess when i was younger and worried about a lot of dumb shit. Dang near an instant cure and it was good to use it a few times a month. With that said, after a year or two i got hooked and used it at least daily sometimes a couple times a day. It altered my personality to the extent that I didn’t like not being high for more than a few hours. When I quit it was difficult, my mood and overall ability to function were greatly effected and it took several months before i was ok. Using it every day makes a man stupid and changes you into something other than a functioning person. When my kids are out and my house is paid off I may grow a few plants in the garden and use it every now and again into my retirement.
It should be legal but there will be Pros and cons to that change. Medicinally speaking it has a bunch of great uses but as Ed stated there a bunch of pot heads using it for non medical reasons that wont shut up about medicinal use and it truly is nauseating.

I've seen a lot of people that smoke way too much weed. Some are plum stupid and others it doesn't seem to effect that much.
Maybe it's like too much alcohol and brings out the true self, lol

I promise you the first thing I’m going to do when I retire is twist one up about the size of my leg and get stoned stupid and stay that way for about a month straight. After that I’ll figure out my next move

Like it or not, you don’t get to determine that. Neither does a whimsical poll.

I’m still against. Call me old school or whatever. I also don’t think we’ll be discussing the old school funky green in the future. Now it’s all about the THC vape/dab pen. It’s already so easily accessible, what’s the use in legalizing?
