[bwframe]

Rob has been pretty quiet on this, wonder if he'll say anything about it now.

The Columbus paper article came out yesterday. Be interesting to see if Hammer and Nigel have anything to say about it this afternoon?

We love what Lucas done for us on Indiana 2A laws!

What Rob hates (as the rest of us should also,) is the tax increases that Lucas has backed and voted for. Like for example, our continually increasing gas tax. Our state is swimming in so much tax surplus, that they can't **** it away fast enough and are forced to return it too us occasionally, in shame.

Personally, I have a really bad taste in my mouth about Lucas, from his openly advocating for marijuana legalization. The "gun advocate" in our legislature should NOT be championing drug legalization.

Sadly, Lucas's conflict of interest came back to bite his dumb ass, while not helping our cause at all. The video after Jim's crash was quite an embarrassment, not to mention the tox screen.

Why?

 

[Cavman]

Why?

Id say we don't need a drunken, high idiot who hits and runs and then lies to police and get special treatment being out pro 2 A advocate

 

[Cameramonkey]

Why?

I dont have a problem with pot legalization. Not a fan of the stuff myself but it has been unfairly demonized and blatantly mis-scheduled for nearly a century.

What does that have to do with my question?

Freedom is freedom whether you find it icky or not. At least he's consistent.

Yeah, Lucas is a fine example...

...of why we need to legalize pot in Indiana.

Lets put his video on all of the legalize pot adds.

is right
Another silly argument. It is no more relevant than showing drunks when talking about alcohol being legal.

Sorry, you failed to justify your preference for only allowing the freedoms you find tasteful. No one cares about Jim Lucas or any other politician or what they think but I'll give credit where its due.

It is reported that Lucas had THC in his system. Why would it be a surprise that a pot head would support legalization of weed?

Ole Jim probably was trying to be the Dude, with White Russians on top of his pot! How long do you think a civil servant, like a cop, would stay around after something like this? https://www.therepublic.com/2023/09/06/editorial-voters-will-have-no-reason-to-keep-jim-lucas/

Sometimes I wonder how quickly attitudes might change once Pfizer and Moderna begin labeling and selling "prescription" marijuana. Maybe come up with some super cool new name for it made up by a Pfizer execs kid. Then we'd see wide scale support for it, you know, once our virtuous government decides it's ok to call it "medicine" and it's pumped full of garbage to ensure maximum profit at the expense of poisoning people, then it'll be widely accepted by the pearl clutchers as they shove it into their kids mouths.

Just as easily as when the government started controlling the gambling industry to make money.

I like Jim for what he does for 2A and marijuana rights. What he does in his personal time is not my business until he drives under the influence and puts the public at risk. Then he should be punished, the same as everyone else, for the crime(s) he committed.

I know this isn't the thread to discuss legalization; but in my opinion, let the gay guys next door get married, water their weed plants with collected rain water, and guard them with AR-15's. .gov can just stay out of it.
