At Fri May 4, 2012, 01:18 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Whhhaaaa...I can't have my pot so I won't vote for Obama.

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

This is not worthy of General Discussion, and it's just a fight starter. Take it to H&M or offsite completely.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri May 4, 2012, 01:23 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: rude
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: On its own, the post isnt really all that bad...BUT as an OP it's clearly designed to start a brawl.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I do not like Trumad's one man mission against Mineralman and find a fair amount of Trumad's posts offensive/over the top/disruptive and would be happy to vote to hide any of those kinds of posts. However, this post is just not hideworthy. Why would anyone alert on this?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Alerter needs to leave their personal problems with trumad at the door. This is getting sad.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: Not voting for Obama.. guess that says it all.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No one is serious with this statement, MM is just one of the changes liberals want PBO to change

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

heroin is more effective at killing pain than marijuana. provis99 May 2012 #16

OT, but I've heard that heroin is far more effective as a painkiller than even opium. Is that true? coalition_unwilling May 2012 #25

Talk about missing the point XemaSab May 2012 #26

This is a remarkably ignorant attack against an overall compassionate community... Luminous Animal May 2012 #30

Larger fucking issues are at play. The OP asked a simple question. bluestate10 May 2012 #36

When you say "women's choice", you mean "not including the choice to smoke pot," surely? Romulox May 2012 #37

IMHO, those are false equivalents. blue neen May 2012 #39

If they had meant "birth control", then why say "choice", which implies, well... nt Romulox May 2012 #41

There is no question in the OP at all. Can't answer a question that was never asked. Luminous Animal May 2012 #40

Correct, but the OP IS a challenge that demands one defend not voting for Obama solely on that basis stevenleser May 2012 #63

People who really think this is important would not be focused on the Presidency treestar May 2012 #51

You've been told that the President DOES have the power to reschedule Cannabis. Romulox May 2012 #59

I don't believe that unless I see it directly in the statutes treestar May 2012 #64

LOL. Ignorance as a shield. Hold it up proudly! nt Romulox May 2012 #68

In that case, you're arguing from a point of complete ignorance DisgustipatedinCA May 2012 #69

Besides, if you had the ability to interpret US Code, you'd know this stuff already. Romulox May 2012 #70

Still, here it is, so that you can "believe" (lol!): Romulox May 2012 #71

That is what they are using to make this point? treestar May 2012 #73
