It doesn't matter what party. Obviously right now democratic leaders are still enforcing the DEA raids. It will never end until enough states legalize it...
a lot of republican states have MMJ as well as democratic

I'm all for legalizing marijuana completely for open sale, and for decriminalizing all hard drugs for personal use. Democrats just want to over extend and have their hands in everything. I'm a libertarian at heart but a conservative in business aspects. My family survives off of two small franchises, I'd be an idiot to be liberal.

All either party wants is control

Independent is the best way to go for MMJ...
Democratic ideas destroy business.. Conservative ideas build business but have some unmodern ideas tied to them..
I lean more towards conservative but love pot, believe in abortions, and believe the government shouldn't tell me what to eat.

I personally find that short sighted. I mean, I understand, more taxes = less profit. But, again, that is short sighted, and doesn't take in to account other effects of policy. Say a minimum wage increase. Boom, you have to pay your workers more thus, you lose money- But! You suddenly have more customers, and they have more money in their pockets. Screw trickle down economics, money moves up, always. Even if that doesn't apply, small business benefits from government intervention far more than the common worker. Without government intervention, the little guys get screwed big time by multinational corporations.
You think government involvement in the economy is bad for business? Tell that to communist China.

so, the way i look at it is:
DEMs want the GOVERNMENT to control the economy. they want the city, state and federal budget to initialize, engineer and pay for construction/remediation projects of infrastructure (like subway remediation projects, fixing the highways, buildings parks, building new town halls, removing asbestos, cleaning up environmental contamination, etc.) in this regard, the DEMs would care less about marijuana use because they know that there are so many layers of government agencies that are going to review and check a project's scope of work before it is ultimately conducted by the contractor. i think DEMs equal state/federal construction. requiring drug testing for government jobs would be more or less a facade to appease the conservative masses. likewise, making marijuana generally illegal would be something necessary to appease the conservative population.
REPUBLICANs want huge, private corporations to control the economy. they want tax breaks for "billionaires" (where huge corporations are legally treated as a single entity) so that they can suck out as much profit from their business as possible. REPUBLICANs equal manufacturing, software, food, travel, etc. in this regard, it would be in the REPUBLICANs best interest to drug test employees at their businesses to ensure maximum efficiency of their workforce. they would want cheap, quick, smart employees to churn out as many car engines as possible without making a mistake or injuring themselves (so they don't lose a laborer and have to pay worker's comp.) unlike drug testing in the workplace, general legalization of marijuana, since it would not generate profit for business in any way (unless secretly businesses are involved in the drug trade) would be less of a concern for REPUBLICANs. such action would be only to appease the conservative masses, like in the DEMs case.

With a topic like this their will be inevitably argument. Please support any of your speculations with facts.
^ with your argument you are completely irrational with any of that. your saying only democrats want to build roads.. etc..
no that is not the case! Republicans want to limit spending, simply because we are broke! Saying one party is anti infrastructure is flat out wrong!

Saying that the country with the largest GDP in the world is broke is kinda silly. It has been argued that the sequester and other austerity measures are the cause of the slow growth of the economy and job market.
Also, the Republicans dont want to limit spending, even if they say they do. They want to take money away from those they perceive as not their constituents and give it to the military and the corporations (to line their own pockets).

Democrats want to ban trans fats. Marijuana is a stupid issue for stupid people. Should a doctor be allowed to prescribe it? Sure. That is still prohibition.

Did I say it was a conspiracy? The credit card analogy is cute and all, but it doesn't really work when you apply it to the multi-trillion dollar in/output of our entire country. That's really my point; this isn't some made up situation where your girlfriend maxed out her credit card by buying too many shoes, and you have to teach her a lesson about hard work by taking it away. This is the real world, with hugely complex systems and problems... that the republicans are fucking up by taking all of the money out of the system.
I also want to ban lead paint.

^ idk what I am.. I don't want to have put myself into any category. I believe in common sense.
People assume that since something worked before it will work now. example: We all learned in history class that building infrastructure after WW2 helped our economy expand. Now everyone today says we need to build build build... Umm no the only reason that worked is b/c previously the US wasn't developed yet into a interconnected system. We have that now. The only thing that we can do is produce the best technology, best schools, and the best manufacturing!! Small businesses right now are barely struggling. My dads company he worked for since I was 5 went out of business last year. So don't say that this shit is working because the same has happened to millions!

Well there are things that needs to be updated in our infrastructure ( electric grids fiber optics and pipelines/ better rail )
I agree with everything you just said. Regulations , high taxes and cheap imports are killing manufacturing here. Its sad

Yup, that is what I was thinking reading that post.
The way a lot of elections are set up though(varying state laws), registering either Independent or Libertarian locks you out of primaries. Myself I am a registered Republican, but I vote primarily libertarian.

This is the way to establish libertarianism. It will never exist or come out of the Dems. Libertarian is anathema to the commie cunts
