Wait What: Rick Perry now in favor of decriminalizing pot - Polidicks

[url]http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/Gov-Rick-Perry-for-decriminalization-of-pot-5168667.php[/url] [QUOTE]SAN ANTONIO — Texas Gov. Rick Perry signaled Thursday that he's for the decriminalization of marijuana use — not legalization, but the softening of punishment for pot users in the border state. “As governor, I have begun to implement policies that start us toward a decriminalization” by introducing alternative “drug courts” that provide treatment and softer penalties for minor offenses, Perry said during an international panel on drug legalization at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. It's the first time the governor, who's voiced support for drug courts in the past, took a position on decriminalization in Texas. [/QUOTE]

More appropriate title: Rick Perry makes sense for once in his life

This is very good. Decriminalization would be a great step forward and make Stoners seem less like Heroin Addicts to the public eye.

Broken clocks and all.

Hold up hold up hold up... You mean THE Rick Perry? As in this asshole? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxzONeK1OwQ[/media]

Living in san antonio and being a huge pothead, this is wonderful news to hear! Fuck yeah!

Don't these republican politicians only go with what's popular? I remember when CISPA or whatever was going on last year or 2 years ago, a lot of republicans came out against it because they saw how hated it was

[QUOTE=Dr.C;43648516]Don't these republican politicians only go with what's popular?[/QUOTE] Democrats do as well. Obama is most noticable in my opinion.

Maybe he did so god-awful in his campaign because he was baked out of his damn mind the whole time.

Shut up and just let me grow it already.

He must be convinced all the pot heads will OD and he will finally earn enough votes to become President.

The Devil, you say!

Well it makes since since our Governor-for-Life kindly appointed by George Dubya Bush 14 years ago quasi-decriminalized Weed back in 2009 for the first Offense.

Rick Perry doesn't have any votes to win as he is not running for reelection next cycle. Unless he tries for the Presidency again but I think that's unlikely.

[QUOTE=WhiskeyAlex;43649342][B]Rick[/B] [I]"Tailoring your message to suit the way the wind is blowing"[/I] [B]Perry[/B] :smile:[/QUOTE] He signed a law that removed the mandatory arrest requirement for Marijuana possession in 2007, as of this date I think like only a 5 or 6 counties out of the 250 that are in Texas have decided to roll with the new law and stop arresting people on the spot for possession.

Considering he's been the governor of our lovely state as long as Putin has been President of Russia.
