Jeb Bush's War-On-Weed(WOW) - Is Jeb Pretending to Have an IQ?

[R.G]

Jeb Bush, testing the water for a 2016 Presidential run, has decided to lead with his best shot. Jeb knows that 88% of Florida voters support the legalization of Medical Marijuana so Jeb, probably advised by Karl Rove, has come out swinging against the popular proposal in Florida. Jeb believes that tourism will wither and die in Florida if Medical Marijuana is approved this November in the Sunshine State. Of course NBC is reporting that it's hard to get a hotel room in the mile high city of Denver because the WEED tourists are everywhere. Amazingly, Jeb still declared:

“Florida leaders and citizens have worked for years to make the Sunshine State a world-class location to start or run a business, a family-friendly destination for tourism and a desirable place to raise a family or retire. Allowing large-scale marijuana operations to take root across Florida, under the guise of using it for medicinal purposes, runs counter to all of these efforts. I believe it is the right of states to decide this issue, and I strongly urge Floridians to vote against Amendment 2 this November."

Jeb seems to think nobody would come to Florida anymore and lay on the beach in the sun if weed is being smoked by cancer sufferers. I know Karl Rove does all kinds of polling and he must know what he is doing. It just seems like an odd way to attack weed legalization by saying tourists won't come to paradise because of POT. In reality, NBC is reporting:

"But according to experts at travel websites that track the habits of American vacationers, the two states where voters approved recreational pot each have witnessed an uptick in curious journeyers since those laws were enacted. Seattle host its annual Hempfest — a pot-a-palooza weekend known to attract a quarter million people!

“We've seen that searches for both destinations have spiked dramatically,” said Taylor Cole, who handles public relations for Hotels.com North America.

Year-over-year, there was a 73 percent traffic increase at Hotels.com among shoppers hunting for Denver rooms during the 4/20 festivities — and a 68 percent bump among travelers scouting for Seattle rooms during July, the first month of legal weed sales there (http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/legal-pot/washington-states-first-legal-marijuana-shops-set-open-amid-chaos-n147626), the site reports.

At Hopper.com, an airfare comparison site, there’s been a 10 percent rise in the “interest” among users checking out flights to Spokane, Washington, for September to November of this year when compared to the same months during 2013. There's been a corresponding 3 percent hike for Seattle during the same time frame, said Virginia Nicholson, a data analyst with the site. So, assuming there is a layer of reality to the concept of marijuana tourism, which state is winning over more weed travelers?

There is an early victor.

“Our search data does show that Denver and Colorado have seen more significant search increases in the first seven months of the year,” said Cole of Hotels.com.

From Jan. 1 — when legal weed sales began in Colorado — to July 31, year-over-year room searches at Hotels.com were up by 37 percent for Denver and by 17 percent for all Colorado, reports Hotels.com."

Florida's Libertarian Candidate for Governor Adrian Wyllie supports ending PROHIBITION for both medical and recreational use. Wyllie Libertarians think that pot should be regulated like alcohol. Libertarian Wyllie said, "The only time we had violence over alcohol was during PROHIBITION." Libertarian Wyllie says, about the the two party control in American politics, "I have clowns to the left of me and jokers to the right. It's a duopoly." http://wyllieforgovernor.com/wyllie-memes/

Wyllie simple plan of attack for this November's election, get the Florida Freedom Fighters (3-F) to take back the Sunshine State from the crazy politicians.


If Karl Rove is after the youth vote in 2016 why did he tell Jeb to continue the war on drugs forever and ever?
Jeb needs better advisers than Karl Rove in 2016.


On a 1 to 10 scale of smart moves I give Jeb a - 0 - for this stupidity!

Is Jeb Pretending to Have an IQ?

I see no evidence.

[dannno]

Honestly I might be more scared if he came out for legalization.

[pcosmar]

Expect to see this piece of shit in the Presidential Race. :(

Might be enough to make me vote for the worst that the "Ds" can field.

[BuddyRey]

So much the better...more ammo for Rand to shred this prick with in the debates. The majority of Americans (and an even greater majority of young people) are with libertarians on the marijuana issue. Advocating for prohibition to continue will be political suicide for the GOP, and hopefully they're aware of this.

[R.G]

The WEEDBLOG is now reporting about Jeb:

"Asked Friday about the federal government’s role in prosecuting pot laws in medical-marijuana states, Bush said he’d have to give it more thought."Sure send in those Federal Assault Troops -- I need to think -- We know that's a lie because Jeb can't think.

There is no way 88% of Florida voters support MMJ. Way too many retiree snowbirds living there.

Jeb Bush...just representin' his base....question is, how many are left?...

Jeb getting close to Medicare FRAUD KING Gov Rick Scott is not good for Jeb. Scott's company paid $1.7 billion in fines. Instead of sending Scott to prison he was made governor. We need the long arm of the law in Florida. If I was Jeb I would of told Scott - No-Way will I be seen with you! Jeb is just not that smart.

Crist switched to the Democrats and his best friend went to prison for a billion dollar fraud too. He was giving money to Crist. The 2 parties have given these fraudsters as our choices for Governor. Jeb is in trouble associating with that crook Scott. The Dems are mad because Crist was the Republican Gov now he is their guy. Florida is so missed up that is why the Libertarian Wyllie will win the 4th largest state in America. Wyllie says his name is, "None of the above."

July 28, 2014 - Florida Backs Medical Marijuana 9-1, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; Young Voters Lead Call For Recreational Marijuana





PDF format (http://www.quinnipiac.edu/images/polling/fl/fl07282014_flchq5.pdf)

Florida voters support legalized marijuana for medical use 88 - 10 percent, with support ranging from 83 - 14 percent among voters over 65 years old to 95 - 5 percent among voters 18 to 29 years old, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

Rick Scott and Jeb Bush (Republicans) don't care what the people want - Libertarian Wyllie will win, one reason, the Power-Of-WEED (POW) (POW) (POW)

The poll found that 88 percent of Florida voters approve of medical marijuana, including 83 percent of voters age 65 and older and 95 percent of those between 18 and 29.

The support also crosses party lines, the poll by Quinnipiac University found. Eighty percent of Republicans --- whose level of support was the lowest of any subgroup --- back the idea and just 19 percent oppose it.

Call me skeptical, but I'll believe it when I see it in November. If I'm wrong, I'll be happy to be wrong.

don't come to Washington for legal weed. it's a bureaucratic clusterfuck of epic proportions (two stores open in King County - where Seattle is located - selling weed for over $20/gram and running out immediately upon receiving shipments - which have totaled about 2 so far since the stores opened.)

it's been 22 months since the "legalization" initiative passed.

That awkward moment when you realize that an effort to achieve reform by working "within the system" in favor of less government has resulted in ... more government ...

Not going to happen. His family has way too many links to drug smuggling. The Bush family will be the last in the GOP to accept any form of legalization.

After all, if pot gets legalized and the sky doesn't fall, what's going to happen to the cash cows of cocaine and heroin? Could put Barry Seal out of a job.

thoughtomater, I agree. You and I should start a petition to get the entire Bush family kicked out of the GOP for the good of the party. McCain's family too.

The Grand Ole Party must really want to lose to Hilary or Joe Biden (who I think gets the Dimocrat nomination for '16) -

At least the primaries will get to be more fun for Rand if Jeb and his circus arrives . . . now if we could only bring back Newt the Nut too.

Hmmm... a bunch of people that came of age during the summer of love and listened to The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix... are you sure those people don't support marijuana?

These issues are just another example of how Rand connects with voters more than Bush or Christie.

[KingNothing]

Honestly I might be more scared if he came out for legalization.

Why would it scare you? The goal isn't to get our man in office, the goal is to get government off our back. If we get to a point where even the worst politicians are supporting views we embrace, we've won. Until we get to a point at which the principles of liberty are self evident to everyone, we've still got work to do -- even if we take the white house.

By and large, they don't. It is astonishing, but they don't.

Truly, they are the worst generation if for no other reason than their own cognitive dissonance as a voting block.

I wouldn't vote for Newt but I still like him for some reason. I try not to hate myself over it. :D

Some people claim there is a woman to blame, but I know - it's all this damn DOPE!

[bolil]

They put up much resistance against something small, so that when nothing is accomplished it seems like something has been done.

In other words all this resistance to legalization is false. That way, when it is legalized, people will feel like they have won a battle and that the system works.

I supported this with all its flaws, but I didn't think they could screw it up as much as they have. that said, "black market" prices have dropped and weed arrests are virtually non-existent these days - and that's the only reason I can sleep at night knowing I voted for this bureaucratic mess.

back to Bushwhacker, i'd like to think that this is (another) one of those items that could derail his ambitions in what I hope is a more "tolerant" and intelligent GOP.

I certainly won't complain about fewer rape-cage occupants.

But now I'm wondering ... how is the prison mill gonna try to fill the vacancies ... ?

[Dianne]

If another Bush is serious about a White House bid, and there are more than 3 people endorsing it ... I'm checking out of this hell hole .. I don't even know three peeps dumb enough to vote him as the local town crier. F'k the Bush's. Fuck the Obama's (who the hell is an Obama anyway) ... Fk the Soetoro's ... it's real name.

[R.G]

Occam's Banana, you're so smooth. I can see by your name that you saw me coming a mile away. I could change my life to better suit your mood, because you're so smooth. No wait, gimme your heart, make it real, or else forget about it.

The Truth is like Katrina - it blows the lies away!

Back to the DOPE in a minute.

I like the " NEOCON JOBS Iraq 911 " poster during the interview with UCSB student at about 1:30 - 1:45 mark . . .

Watch at about the 3:30 mark or so . . . some influential California Republicans show up . . .

a very well done production by these UCSB students . . . imho - if you watch it all.

Inside . . . Karl Rove called it "a warm welcome" LOL

"We will be there (in Iraq) for 50 to 60 years"

Ike was right . . .

Jeb Bush used to love Chain Gang Charlie Crist when he was the best at the "War on Drugs" as a Republican Governor of Florida.

http://mywomenonthemove.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/CristBush-300x233.jpg

Now Charlie Crist has flip-flopped and is the Democratic candidate for Governor of Florida and the Democrats hate him.

Now Jeb Bush has flip-flopped and supports Medicare Fraud King Rick Scott against Chain Gang Charlie. Scott will send Floridians to prison over marijuanna and everyone knows Scott should be in prison for stealing Medicare funds. Scott's company paid a $1.7 billion dollar fine!

I know Jeb knows this stuff or he should just shut up, the fruitcake. Newsweek reports:

America has a major problem with prescription pain medications like Vicodin and OxyContin. Overdose deaths from these pharmaceutical opioids have approximately tripled since 1991, and every day 46 people die of such overdoses (http://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/opioid-prescribing/) in the United States.
However, in the 13 states that passed laws allowing for the use of medical marijuana between 1999 and 2010, 25 percent fewer people die from opioid overdoses annually.
“The difference is quite striking,” said study co-author Colleen Barry (http://www.jhsph.edu/faculty/directory/profile/5073/Barry/Colleen_L.), a health policy researcher at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. The shift showed up quite quickly and become visible the year after medical marijuana was accepted in each state, she told Newsweek.

Maybe Jeb just likes people in prison and patients dying! Or, probably more likely, Jeb is just uninformed, figures.
