Ann Coulter railed wildly against the legalization of pot on Wednesday, saying that it would turn people into drugged zombies incapable of workor something like that. The conservative commentator sat down with Piers Morgan, and the two got in a heated debate over the implications of legalized pot.
"If it is made legal, vastly more people will take it and it will be a disaster for commerce," Coulter argued, adding, "Because potheads are incapable of following simple instructions and getting a job done."
When pressed by Morgan, Coulter gave the following example: "When I moved to a new place in California and there was a pool, and the pool guy didn't, you know, I come back then it's four feet down it's covered with green mold. And I called him up, he was a pothead. 'I was there that day' so I took three pictures and henceforth that was my argument."
Coulter didn't elaborate on how she knew the guy was a pothead, or how using one experience to judge an entire piece of public policy made much sense, but she stuck to her guns.

(47,209 posts)level at Coulter, her looks are pretty irrelevant, and it;s sexist to deem them noteworthy. Now when we hear from some that Hillary is a chubby, dried up hag with cankles- that is on you two- who feel that is worthy of discussion here.

(50,557 posts)Okay, let me get this straight: Heavy smokers die early, saving the Social Security system money. Ann Coulter is a heavy smoker herself, which suggests (if her allegation holds true in all cases) that she is going to die early. But she is going to be paying for their food, housing, now for their health care? Is she saying she's no longer a heavy smoker, or that she's not going to die early?
And speaking of "performing any useful jobs," what does Ann Coulter make besides "shit up"?

(65,616 posts)Coulter is proof positive that the M$M would rather live in their own little world as opposed to reporting on real news.
Pathetic but expected from for-profit corporate news.

I'm a stoner till I die, but even I couldn't figure out what she was saying. "You know, I come back then it's 4 feet down".

(111,255 posts)Pot terrifies them because they think we won't work hard enough if we had it legally.
What they never seem to realize is how much more effectively we work when our pain is addressed.
