Former Madam Running for NY Governor on Pro-Pot Platform

Thu, Mar 04, 2010 6:35 pm

Share |


Will New York elect a pro-pot, pro-prostitution governor? Kristin Davis thinks so – and, no, she’s not joking. Davis is best known as the “Manhattan Madam” who made headlines back in 2008 as the owner of the brothel frequented by former governor Eliot Spitzer. This week she announced her intention to run for governor in New York.

 

Davis, who considers herself a “Libertarian/Republican,” believes that “personal freedom is the key to New York’s economic future.” She supports the legalization, regulation, and taxation of marijuana and prostitution and believes that legalizing has the potential to flood the cash-strapped state with an “estimated $2.5 billion in new revenues.”

 

"I haven't seen any studies proving marijuana is a gateway drug, and I know many New Yorkers who would happily pay an excise tax on it … We need to increase revenue in the state. All career politicians do is raise taxes and cut services,” Davis said.

 

A strong supporter of legalizing gay marriage, Davis says she wants “to be a force for reform.” This includes highlighting the inequities of a “criminal justice system which discriminates against women, poor people and minorities.”

 

Davis will represent the Personal Freedom Party provided that she can collect the necessary signatures to place the party on the ballot.

 

Her announcement to enter the gubernatorial race coincides with current New York Gov. David Patterson’s decision not seek reelection in the wake of back-to-back scandals. Patterson was originally accused of inappropriate intervention in an assault case involving one of his top aides. Most recently the state ethics commission accused Patterson of accepting an unlawful gift.

I would rationally believe that someone selling any drug would have a good idea exactly what it does or what it is capable of doing. Also, just like any other mind-altering substances; formalities,legalities,and moral ideologies are all irrelevant as long as behavior and social responsibilities, and norms, are placed in the hands of the patient/consumer. Government control will not prevent addiction nor will it prevent use and abuse of anything in this world. Every human should have the basic civil human right to self medicate any which way he believes to be acceptable, while still maintaining no harm to anyone. Legalization/Decriminalization/Regulation/Taxation Etc. will have both positive, as well as negative repercussions. Its just how any repeal or introduction of any new law/legislation works, unfortunately unfolds. However like I stated above, its all in the furtherance and interest of every humans basic right to self medicate. Just because you go to Medical School,and have someone tell you that you are a Doctor of Whatever, does not, unfortunately, prevent patient irresponsibility and abuse. You can become addicted to anything and everything, literally. It is nobody's business/concern if you put a toy car in your butt because you enjoy it, but its someone's concern if I put a flower in my body that I know cant kill me??? Who are we to tell THIS PLANET that IT cant GROW WHAT IT GROWS NATURALLY. Earth as well Title it, was here well before us MORTAL humans. EARTH don't care what MORTAL humans have to say cause NO ONE OWNS EARTH and if EARTH wants to grow Cannabis in the WIlD and fulfill here NATURAL ( der. from the word NATURE)genetic potential, then who are we as smear mortals, here on borrowed time, to tell this planet, that we should be so thankful for, that it cant grow a plant, a weed, that was here well before we were, and will be here well after us Mortals leave. We are not just suppressing humans, we are suppressing the VERY SINGLE THING, that SUSTAINS HUMAN LIFE.....EARTH..... we should tell earth what else it cant grow MR Politician, President, Moral God, MR. Righteous Big Wig Decision makers...GET REAL.

Medical marijuana is a joke, people are selling "medicine" with out ever going to school for it like a pharmacist does. this is a joke and a shame. people who really need it should have documented proof from multiple physicians, people selling it have no clue of the effects of it.. not one of the medical doctors who proscribe it ever ask if you have had past addiction problems. just because people haven't died doesn't mean peoples lives haven't been ruined. no one at the age of 13-18 started smoking pot for medical reasons it was all to get high and now once its medical now they have a physical pain or depression or some type of lying accuse. ur not human if u don't suffer from some type of depression in your life, life is hard stop being weak and suck it up and move on......

3/08/10--Man found dead at frat house PITTSBURGH -- A man has been found dead in a Carnegie Mellon University fraternity house. Pittsburgh police say the 22-year-old man had been celebrating a friend's birthday Saturday night. Detective Christine Williams says the friends "likely drank too much." He was a student at another university. "likely drank to much", rather flippant-eh? If it would have been pot. it would have been front page news, with calls for a national anti- pot crusade, to save our youth.

She has more balls and is more honest than any of the clowns running around in D.C.
I don't think she has anything to hide unlike the career politicians who successfully put this country in a financial disaster.

EDUCATIONAL STANDARDS AND GOOD UP AND COMING TECHNOLOGIES AND PRODUCTIVE JOBS!!!
GOOD OLD FASSIONED FACTORY JOBS THAT CREATE SELF SUFFICIANCEY IN THEIR OWN RIGHT BY BEING HERE ON OUR COUNTRIES SOIL IN OUR TOWNS AND CITIES.

WE DO'NT NEED FLAMBOYANT SOCIALITES AND ELITISTS RUNNING OUR COUNTRY ANYMORE!!!!!!!

@ King

Hey I am currently living in FL as well, when is the deadline for signing up for the med marijuana ballot? I bet you could get a whole lot of signatures on the FL university campuses, I would suggest UF, FSU, USF, UCF, Miami, FAMU and all of the smaller colleges around the state. I bet Key West would be good as well. Also, I would imagine the spring break Florida hot spots would be a gold mine as well.

Come on Florida! WE CAN DO IT! Get it on the ballot! Go to www.pufmm.org and lets get medical marijuana legal in Florida. It will never happen unless we all pitch in. We need about 700,000 signatures. Not many people know about this so we need to all pitch in and get on the ball with this. In the event that we can't get all the signatures in time they are good for 4 years so we will still have a chance in 2012. Lets not wait that long lets get this done now!

Teens' alcohol, pot use increases
Tuesday, March 2, 2010
BY JENNIFER C. KERR
The Record
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Alcohol and marijuana use among teens is rising after a decade-long decline, a study being released today found.

"I'm a little worried that we may be seeing the leading edge of a trend," said Sean Clarkin, director of strategy at the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, which was releasing the study. "Historically, you do see the increase in recreational drugs before you see increases in some of the harder drugs."

The survey found the number of teens in Grades 9 through 12 who reported drinking alcohol in the last month rose 11 percent last year, with 39 percent — about 6.5 million teens — reporting alcohol use. That's up from 35 percent, or about 5.8 million teens, in 2008.

For pot, 25 percent of teens reported smoking marijuana in the last month, up from 19 percent.

Until last year, those measures for pot and alcohol use had been on a steady decline since 1998, when use hovered around 50 percent of teens for alcohol and 27 percent for pot.
