    Dear Fox News,

    If you're really more Conservative then liberal, please stop allowing yourselves to be tricked into putting things on the air, like the so called "positive" uses of "medicinal illegal drugs".

    The liberal media want for you to do such things, that way you push their Socialist Agenda for them. Pot use to be illegal, and is a gateway drug. it got used for "medicinal purposes" , then became legal.

    The possibilities are endless, in which democrat politicians will make any illegal drug legal. First they will make the excuse of "medicinal purposes". Then the next illegal hardcore drug will become legal. IF THE MAJORITY OF THE USA BECOMES LIKE CALIFORNIA DRUGS WISE, WE WILL BECOME A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY, AND YOU MORONS WILL HAVE HELPED THEM DO IT!!! I know what I'm talking about, I use to be a coke head.

    DON'T HELP THEM PEDDLE IT ALONG!

    Especially, since if you continue along this path, you will gut your Conservative base of viewers. I can not stress this enough!

    In the end, the liberal media and politicians, want to make you no better then they're! Betraying your base, and peddling their Agenda for them.

    I doubt they were 'tricked'. Fox is a media giant that pushes a sociopolitical agenda. If they change an opinion, bet there's money involved. Probably they're looking to enlarge their audience to grab more ad money.

    I doubt the liberal media cares. No one is going to change their opinion based on what Fox has to say. the anti-legalizers will stay that way, and the pros will keep their opinion too.

    There are researchers who dispute this. Anyway, what you do is your own responsibility right?

    Do you really think doctors shouldn't prescribe drugs because they might have some recreational use? Pain relievers, tranquilizers and amphetamine for ADHD should be forbidden completely

    CA is hardly the state with the biggest drug problem. It's not even in the top ten. WV has the highest overdose death rate at 51.5 per 100k residents, VT has the highest share of teens using dope at 13.92%, they also have the highest rate of adult dopers at 20.82%. AL wins the opioid sweepstakes with 98 pain reliever prescriptions per 100 residents.

    All of which is to say that recreational use is not the problem, addiction is. If you came back from that, my hat is off to you; I'm not sure I could.

    Consider this: alcohol, a truly dangerous and addictive drug is legal after a period (1920-1933) when it was outlawed like many others. It was legalized whe the government realized that one, it wasn't working; and two, making it illegal was more dangerous to the people, not less. When something is legal it can be taxed and regulated. More importantly organized crime can be kept out.

    Be real. You're not going to boycott Fox. But if you do and I'm wrong, consider that Fox is making a marketing decision. They think more people will tune in for this content than will turn away.

    Yes, "researchers know better than people like me, whom actually lived and learned from our mistakes. I'm a republican that lived and learned the evil of drugs, and you have liberal scientists, that get paid by Democrat Politicians to tell the public what to think and feel about Science. lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yes people who have actually studied the problem and have a sample size greater than one probably do have more knowledge about it.

    Stay sober, it's a worthy goal. But it doesn't make you superior to the normies.

    You don't think the GOP pays its own scientists to generate whatever 'facts' they feel are convenient? LMAO.

    It's so much different for you who feel and think what Fox and Don Littlehands tell you to.

    I look at our present parties and hate them both. neither one comes close to representing what I think should happen in our country.

    I agree with you upon this: "I look at our present parties and hate them both. neither one comes close to representing what I think should happen in our country."

    Both parties pay people to sway statistics in their way. It's part of strategy in politics. I don't agree with it, because it definately is lying to a degree. Especially, considering that democrats have done it for a lot longer. Like lying about who's going to win an election, or lying about the popular vote, by adding in ilelgal votes into that count and dead peoples votes, and animal votes.

    There is no doub that both sides are corrupt.

    ONE OF THEE MAIN ISSUES IS THIS: REPUBLICANS AND THEIR MEDIA HAVE TO BE HONEST TO GET AHEAD. DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS AND THEIR MEDIA CHEAT TO GET AHEAD, WITH VERY LITTLE TRUTHS. WE LIVE IN A TWO TEIR JUSTICE SYSTEM WHERE DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS CAN PRETTY MUCH GET AWAY WITH MURDER, BEING TRAITORS, RAPE, AND ANYTHING ELSE, AND NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT. I COULD NEVER VOTE FOR A PARTY THAT MURDERS BABIES. Capital punishment is murder as well, and most republicans are for that. I am not. Both is murder, and neither one is ok. Both are immoral. However, 1 is judging an innocent child before they even have a chance at life, and one is judging an evil person that does something sick to go to prison. Someone that judged someone else threw murder or rape or something else. Only God has the right to judge.

    Even though Republican media and their Politicians speak truth more often then democrat politicians and their media, one of the main issues is that Democrats have this whole persona that they're the party of "political freedom", and "peace and love", when they are the total opposite.

    So when most people wish to reform the Government, they tend to be gobbled up by the brainwashing of the far left liberal media. Democrat Pol8iticians are for Anarchy, just look at California. Most Americans don't want that for the rest of the Country. THAT IS WHY SPEAKING KNOWLEDGE IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE IN GENERAL, BECAUSE THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND THE TRUTH. GOD IS THE TRUTH. WITHOUT TRUTH, KNOWLEDGE MEANS NOTHING. WRITTEN BY YOURS TRULY.

    Democrat Politicians want for people to think that they're using knowledge with truth, but they are not. They are false gods. Just like in the Bible.
    If Republican Politicians and their media stray to far away from God, they will allow America to be destroyed by the Democrats. This is the truth.

    abuse exists legal or not, prohibition just makes criminals of those that do not abuse

    sounds like you are proof of that

    All drugs have a legit use and any substance can be abused. The only thing we do by forcing people to use certain ones and not others is make the pharma corps rich and undermine our own rights. I say legalize it all, tax the F out of it, and use the taxes to educate people about which drugs have which effects, when to use them and when not.

    ...and anyone who wants to legalize drugs but ban guns is a degenerate authoritarian hypocrite. Here's looking at YOU, majority of Oregonians :wall:

    What are you talking about? The GOP lies through its teeth. For example the election of 2020 was not stolen. The whole riot around the Capitol building was based on Trump's lies and at least one person died as a result. I have more examples.


    Most Democrats are just a little bit less authoritarian than the Republicans. Politics in the US is about gaining and maintaining power. Anarchy is the diametric opposite of that.

    'And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' - John 8:32.
    It appears that truth and knowledge are the same. The material world does not hold all of reality,but God did not intend us to be ignorant of it.

    The Democrats are not setting themselves up as God. It is the GOP that is setting itself up to be the religious authority in the US. They're the ones pushing governmental fingers into the live of the citizens, measuring them against a morality that isn't really in the Bible, but only in their heads.

    Here's an idea for you: God doesn't care about America or any other nation. He doesn't care what kind of government you have. He might care whether you go to church, but I can't fathom why He would.

    Or you can open your mind to the facts. Such as marijuana being illegal federally has nothing to do with science and everything to do with ignorance. Why take away my marijuana that I use to tread chronic pain and force me back onto a much more harmful drug like Norco? Codeine is a narcotic that is physically addictive and kills thousands of people a year. Marijuana is not physically addictive and is impossible to overdose to the point of death on. So why would you want me on to go back on a drug that kills thousands and deny me a healthier alternative that kills none in terms of OD’s?

    I am not saying marijuana is harmless, yet it is far from being as hazardous to me as alcohol which is legal, or cigarettes. Just because a drug is illegal does not mean it was made illegal based upon good science.

    As for Fox News, are you looking for an echo chamber and information silo, or a more centrist, moderate and well rounded perspective that examines the pros and cons of complex controversial issues of the day?

    One last thing my friend, and I use the term in the best sense of the word. If you dare, enter my world and I will show that many of the things you dislike about the left applies to the right as well. From where I am standing the left and right share some disturbing traits as both are populated by flawed and fallible humans. To favor one over the other is to simply take the side of a subjectively perceived lesser evil.

    Why don’t you, instead of posting these worthless threads here, do something like contact Rupert Murdoch and ask him?

    Fox isn't particularly Conservative. It's product usually is, but that is because Fox is capitalist and has found a profitable niche. Do you actually think Fox cares about anything but money?
