    Chris Christie: I Will Crack Down And Not Permit Legal Marijuana as President

    YAY!

    If New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) becomes president of the United States, he said on "The Hugh Hewitt Show" Tuesday, he will "crack down" on those states that have ended prohibitions on marijuana.

    When asked by Hewitt if he would enforce federal drug laws in those states that have legalized and regulated cannabis, Christie responded unequivocally.


    "Absolutely," Christie said. "I will crack down and not permit it."

    Is he also going to crack down on soda and diet soda which is killing far more people than all illegal drugs combined? Considering his waste line, I think not.

    FAIL





    DEAD AND DYING


    Nearly half (49%) of Americans say they have tried marijuana, and 12% in the past year, which the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health says is the most commonly used illicit drug in the U.S. The government survey showed that 18.9 million Americans 12 or older (7.3%) had used marijuana in the prior month.

    Either you accept and seek to enforce the fact that 49% of Americans DESERVE TO BE INCARCERATED or you succumb to the reality that the very concept of "illegal flowers" is ridiculous.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to presence again.

    %$#@ I think they've tweaked the repcycle to lengthen it. Must be on account of the recent repwars.

    Nixon and the Generation Gap

    In the 1960s, as drugs became symbols of youthful rebellion, social upheaval, and political dissent, the government halted scientific research to evaluate their medical safety and efficacy.

    In June 1971, President Nixon declared a “war on drugs.” He dramatically increased the size and presence of federal drug control agencies, and pushed through measures such as mandatory sentencing and no-knock warrants. Nixon temporarily placed marijuana in Schedule One, the most restrictive category of drugs, pending review by a commission he appointed led by Republican Pennsylvania Governor Raymond Shafer. In 1972, the commission unanimously recommended decriminalizing the possession and distribution of marijuana for personal use. Nixon ignored the report and rejected its recommendations.

    Between 1973 and 1977, however, eleven states decriminalized marijuana possession. In January 1977, President Jimmy Carter was inaugurated on a campaign platform that included marijuana decriminalization. In October 1977, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to decriminalize possession of up to an ounce of marijuana for personal use.

    Within just a few years, though, the tide had shifted. Proposals to decriminalize marijuana were abandoned as parents became increasingly concerned about high rates of teen marijuana use. Marijuana was ultimately caught up in a broader cultural backlash against the perceived permissiveness of the 1970s.

    The 1980s and 90s: Drug Hysteria and Skyrocketing Incarceration Rates

    The presidency of Ronald Reagan marked the start of a long period of skyrocketing rates of incarceration, largely thanks to his unprecedented expansion of the drug war. The number of people behind bars for nonviolent drug law offenses increased from 50,000 in 1980 to over 400,000 by 1997.

    Public concern about illicit drug use built throughout the 1980s, largely due to media portrayals of people addicted to the smokeable form of cocaine dubbed “crack.” Soon after Ronald Reagan took office in 1981, his wife, Nancy Reagan, began a highly-publicized anti-drug campaign, coining the slogan "Just Say No." This set the stage for the zero tolerance policies implemented in the mid-to-late 1980s. Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates, who believed that “casual drug users should be taken out and shot,” founded the DARE drug education program, which was quickly adopted nationwide despite the lack of evidence of its effectiveness. The increasingly harsh drug policies also blocked the expansion of syringe access programs and other harm reduction policies to reduce the rapid spread of HIV/AIDS.

    In the late 1980s, a political hysteria about drugs led to the passage of draconian penalties in Congress and state legislatures that rapidly increased the prison population. In 1985, the proportion of Americans polled who saw drug abuse as the nation's "number one problem" was just 2-6 percent. The figure grew through the remainder of the 1980s until, in September 1989, it reached a remarkable 64 percent – one of the most intense fixations by the American public on any issue in polling history. Within less than a year, however, the figure plummeted to less than 10 percent, as the media lost interest. The draconian policies enacted during the hysteria remained, however, and continued to result in escalating levels of arrests and incarceration.

    I graduated High School in 1992. I have no idea how to account for that massive dip except to just kind of shrug and point to Ronald and Nancy Reagan's "just say no" campaign.

    In the 80's I remember this huge crackdown on drugs. I didn't even know wtf a 'drug' was, really, except in the bookish sense. I specifically remember wondering how in the world this was supposed to be "America" if we can pass laws about what people can and can not eat.

    I don't remember any sort of galvanizing event, but I do remember the push to demonize drugs, and I had always just associated that with the "Just Say No" campaign and the two Reagans behind it.

    Oxycontin. Pharmaceutical pain management. I was actually referring to how more people die of accidental overdose on legally prescribed advanced pain management than the sum collection of all illegal drug deaths combined.

    Clearly Christie is desperate for support from some quarter of the GOP. He realizes he will never win over the growing number of liberty lovers. So he's going all out tyrant hoping to get special interest support. Good luck, Bacon King!
