Just to make sure you got the question this time - When has ANYONE been imprisoned for smoking pot?

Off hand I don't know for certain. But probably somebody has been today if not this week. Do your own research.

(Gotta post this one day in advance - for Zon...)

So you try to slough off your incompetence onto me. I actually think before I post. Again, I suggest you should think first! before you post.

Any answers - yet?

(You two nincompoops are working yourselves towards a thread dedicated to this very subject. Any input before making fools of yourselves?)

I never took you as a conspiracy theorist. If I am to believe that Soros controls the anti drug war effort am I also to believe that the C.I.A. is this nations biggest drug smuggeling operation?

Uh no dude(some parlance that you may understand), socialist and Hillary friend Soros is the major backer of the pro-drug movement.

As far as I know, ironically, there is no law that prohibits smoking marijuana. Just laws prohibiting possession, trafficking and selling marijuana.

Is that what you're childish question is looking for? If yes, why didn't you just come right out and say it if in fact you knew that to be the case?

The drug czar has a $1 billion propaganda budget for the next five years.

What is it going to take to get these WOD"s bottom feeders to stop wasting my tax dollars?

A marijuana joint will cost you your life at the hands of the government of Iraq. Does that mean hardcore drug warriors like yourself are allies of Saddam?

"A few years ago, the country was concerned about the drug epidemic," said Joe Class, warden of the Marianna Federal Correctional Institution. "So basically, what you have here is the result of our efforts to control that epidemic. We're locking up a lot of people for drugs. . . . The growth has been extraordinary."...

...These inmates are not Boy Scouts. "We're not talking about the guy who sells on the street corner," Class said. "We're talking about the guy who flies the plane." Class said he did not know of any prisoners here simply for using drugs.

"We don't get sent to federal prison for smoking pot," Class said. "A lot of these people are criminals. The money these days is in drugs, so they sold drugs."

This statement defies logic

Don't tell me you're surprised -- Dane defies logic!

Yet you defend those who are busted for it? Kinda misleading - no?

Just how much propaganda have you spread?

Thank God I got out and exited the drug culture.

Sorry but you never "exited", your brain is still totally deep fried.

I don't see how posting heavyd's words helps your argument. Marijuana had not a damn thing to do with his death, as you once tried to purport.

I can't imagine what type of person slanders dead FReepers, yet here I am actually corresponding with one.

Every time I see you on one these threads being your abrasive, hypocritical, thoughtless self, I'll be directly behind you telling people the truth about who they're debating.

You might think it's personal, but it's not. Simple disclosure.

That is the aspect of this issue that I didn't want to get into in my previous post, but you are exactly right!!

Glad I could assist. Fortunately, it doesn't take a person with your expertise to connect the dots. That's a good thing.

Funny thing about the war on drugs--if I wanted a joint of MJ or any other drug--I wouldn't have a clue where to find it, but I know I could find a 12 yr old who could clue me in.

Verifying the success of one motive for the drug warriors WOD.

Wow! Roscoe, you know how to quote other people that you agree with -- even though you often quote them out of context. How about posting arguments in your own words. That way people may think you have an original thought of your own and not just think of you as a status-quo parrot. It occurs to me that just about any halfwit can parrot other people more often than using their own words, but one must have their own thoughts and words and use those in their responses to gain credibility.

In each person's life internal authority takes precedence over external authority. That some people choose to sacrifice their own authority to external authority is always a net negative/loss to themselves and society.
