Felons and Welfare ... marijuana

  • Belly35
    Should convicted (2 time) Felons be permitted to legally purchase marijuana when it becomes legal?
    Should welfare recipients (2 years participants) be permitted to legally purchase marijuana when it becomes legal?

    As compared to the cost of the bureaucracy that would be put in place to prevent it? Yes, let them smoke dope.

    Good point


    With the potential sales of pot legally in Ohio ( vote on the issue)

    Will this increase the potential for more break-ins and robbery becaues of lost welfare and felons income?

    Should Elderly be given health insurance? They keep dying on us. Costs us money. We probably shouldn't have to treat them because it's a waste of money since the inevitable is going to happen. #Belly'd

    Why shouldn't felons be able to purchase legal marijuana? They can buy alcohol, can't they?

    And really there are many, many things people on welfare should not be allowed to buy. But even if you could enforce it effectively and affordably, it would still be very easy to circumvent.

    Yes. The end.

    Like qcb said, it would be far too costly to prevent it.

    Nothing is as refreshing as watching a supposed "small gubment" dude starting a series of threads to determine if people want really, really ungodly big gubment in order to look over everyone's shoulders and serve as watchdogs to make sure that people aren't doing things he feels they shouldn't be doing.

    lest we forget, due to the archaic and asinine drug laws we enforce in this country, it stands to reason that the felon is likely a felon due to a past marijuana possession.

    Rehabilitate people are not less human and deserve 100% of the rights they lost when they get of prison IMO.

    I figure that was Belly's logic: their in prison because of weed, so make it illegal for them to buy weed and they won't commit any more crimes

    To be fair, you could simply pass a law making it illegal for places to sell to felons. I imagine it would work about as well as gun laws.

    no weed as a condition of parole is one thing, but once they have finished their sentence if others can buy it legally so should they.
