SENATE BILL: The Common Sense Drug Reform Act of 2014 (Tabled)

[TNF]

"Common Sense" is in the eye of the beholder, obviously. I ask the Senate to defeat yet another step in the wrong direction on drug policy, as exemplified by this bill.

[TNF]

The bill is fine as it is. No need to change it, handwringing drug warrior nonsense to the contrary.

[TNF]

I object to this insane amendment and this utterly insane piece of frivolous legislation.

So, legally, LSD would be on the same level as heroin? That makes no sense to me...

If LSD specifically is the deal-breaker, then I suppose we can keep that decriminalized

It's not really that LSD specifically is the deal-breaker, I guess I should have been more clear. It doesn't make sense to me that both LSD and MDMA, which were both considered soft drugs in the original bill, are now being bumped to the same level as all of the hard drugs except ketamine. What exactly is the reasoning behind that?

There's no obvious reasoning behind any part of this amendment. Absolutely none of X's proposed changes to FL 31.10 are based in evidence, nor are his arguments to date founded on anything other than conjecture and moralizing.

His "common sense" arguments are so out of orbit that I couldn't even find anecdotal evidence to support them. There is either something in the water or Ohio has a truly impressive propaganda machine.

X has presented no real evidence that any of these drugs are dangerous. It's all emotional moralizing.

[TNF]

Motion to table.

[TNF]

Aye

Death to this attack upon liberty
