This is what the Supreme Court has decided. The states have the rights to decide. Why should Trump have done this and not any other POTUS?

Because he is the first candidate for president from the "pro-life" party since the SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade.
Since a majority of voters support the womans freedom to choose this could be a problem for the Republican party. I was just saying that Trump could try to make it a non-issue instead of having to argue his position.

Wasn't Roe v. Wade about privacy ?

Yes... which is exactly why it was overturned.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. A lot of the "kids" from the 60's, 70's, 80's etc who smoked dope back then are still smoking it.

It used to be that nearly 25% of teenagers worked. Now, less than 5% of them work. This directly correlates with the dramatic increase of minimum wage.

I suspect the lack of younger people working has little to do with changes in "minimum wage", and more to do with parents who allow their kids to freeload. There's little motivation to get a job if one's parents allow them lounge around all day with no responsibilities. Today's youth need more parents like your mom (and dad), or like my parents, who made it clear... I either had to be working or going to school full-time while living at home.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 04-03-2024).]

Let me guess. This is another thing that is true because "everyone knows it", right?
Here are facts from a scientific study
Age 18-34 current users.....49.9%
Age 35-64 current users.....43.3%
These numbers seem a little "high" to me, but this includes people who just use as little as once per month.

I disagree... but I have no proof of this either, this is merely an "Occam's razor" type of opinion of mine. I think the fact that only 4% of teens work versus 25% of teens just ~25 years ago is perhaps likely the symptom of other issues, or but certainly an exacerbating feature of it.
Another large group in the United States (and no I have not read Fred's paper, not that interested), are minorities... specifically black Americans. As a percentage of population, black Americans are far more likely to use marijuana than any other race. Marijuana use tends to be associated with lower income in adults, even though it's a "luxury" item. And tends to be associated with kids and young adults in middle class.

It already is a non issue as it is in the hands of the states as it should be.

no the states that want to ban are christo-fascist gods laws states as bad as ISIS or the al-kikkda
but when people vote you get the real will of the people
not the will of the religious nuts
every Gop dominated state had extreme laws vote by the reps who are mostly christo-fascist
no vote of the people has gone that way all said NO to christo-fascist abortion ideals
all vote for freedom from rules true non christo-fascist darksider BS the Gop and rump push on others
