1. Not quite nuff said.
I've heard about it in the Senate. Has it also passed the House? If so, then a veto is needed.

20. A veto is completely irrelevant.
This piece of crap passed the Senate unanimously, meaning there's no question it would be overridden. Vetoing it would be an exercise in looking weak and futile.

4. Yeah, like Obama is going to veto something that got a *unanimous* vote in the Senate..
That would hardly be "bipartisan".

Gil Kerlikowske speaks for Obama on drugs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gil_Kerlikowske

In a May 22, 2009 interview on KUOW radio, he said any drug 'legalization' would be "waving the white flag" and that "legalization is off the the charts when it comes to discussion, from my viewpoint" and that "legalization vocabulary doesn't exist for me and it was made clear that it doesn't exist in President Obama's vocabulary." Specifically about marijuana, he said, "It's a dangerous drug" and about the medical use of marijuana, he said, "we will wait for evidence on whether smoked marijuana has any medicinal benefits - those aren't in."

5. no way, far more important things to worry about
Worrying about whether Pot heads eating their tainted brownies being an illegal act is near the bottom of my list.

9. whatever guy
Medical marijuana is a separate issue and not what i was referring to, if people want to get high go ahead and eat your damn brownies, I don't care. Its obviously a number one priority issue for you. NOT for me.

22. Seems you're more angry at someone on the internet for out of place priorities
but our Senate is being productive getting more jail time for pot brownies while the 99er get flushed, we can't generate enough jobs to keep up with population growth, a couple of cancerous wars, ecological nightmares, and the beat goes on and on seemingly forever?

Weird reaction to priority concerns to me. Seemed more like taking an opportunity to play a little "punch the hippies" to me.

I mean if nothing else the Senators are getting elected, paid, and trusted to handle and triage or national issues.

Maybe there is more going on than you know or care to know or find out.

This is a big priority for someone, isn't?

25. Fuck that lack of compassion.
I'm on the side of anyone who's ever managed to get (and keep!) down a meal down thanks to a magic brownie. I'm on the side of their families. I'm on the side of the compassionate and forward-thinking doctors who have prescribed them this medicine.

Whose side are you on? :shrug:

26. Oh jesus
I make a little comment and then you all make a mountain out of a molehill once again.

Let me state it plainly, I have higher priorities than the marijuana issue, for example, the environment is my number one priority.

All I did was state my opinion, if you have a different one that is fine, but stop making things up that I did not say.

27. Being able to eat is a mountain, not a molehill.
Humans are able to focus our attention on multiple tasks/goals/ideals simultaneously.

Do you wish to be berated for your choice to focus on environmentalism over poverty or education or peace?
No? Then don't belittle the concerns of others simply because they're not your own concerns.

stop making things up that I did not say.

Please point out where I did so, and I'll apologize.

We're in a war against terrorism and brownies, in case you haven't been watching the news for the past 10 years. What part of that don't you get???

12. Can't you see it
Cops stopping people and confiscating their brownies to test them for possible pot contamination. I guess the cops don't have anything better to do than bust people for brownies. Sometimes I feel like I'm living in the bizarro world.
