48 months probation, and he's whining cause he couldn't deal with that.

He shouldn't be in prison, he should be behind the wheel of a car.

I read a blog the other day from some idiot who blamed marijuana laws for his friend's drunk driving arrest. Basically he claimed his friend couldn't work as a truck driver because he would be drug tested so he ended up getting arrested for drunk driving. (in a big rig)

I told him that I support decriminalization but I still want strict laws covering driving under the influence. (people driving 20mph under the limit are dangerous too.) I also told him that I would feel better if his friend were in prison for drinking behind the wheel of the truck.

Prisons are for people who get convicted of violating the law. Drug possession and usage is against the law. So is buying it from someone, who likely is breaking a host of other laws. This dude needs to get locked up before he develops another criminal addiction.

Too bad this weak character will be costing taxpayers thousands of dollars for his treatment and incarceration, but it's still better than having him out on the highway. Potheads always have a higher opinion of themselves than they ought to have.

Now I'm facing revocation for smoking marijuana.

Quit smoking it, Brad.

Given this guy's comment that his smoking a natural plant does society no harm, it does not seem rehabilitation is going to do him any good.

I have been to those programs that are made useless to other patients attending, because some court-ordered smart ass pothead who doesn't want to reform his lifestyle, wastes everyone's time by arguing with the counselor.

This guy seems to expect the government to pay for a program for him and apparently spent much of his PBJ time in jail for his attitude and noncompliance. So yeah, he now has a record but it was his choice.

Duuuude, you can make, like, totally bitchin' clothes from hemp.

And in a pinch you can, like, smoke your own pants.

Hey Brad, you are going to jail because you have no respect for the law or either you feel it doesn't apply to you.

I have a drug addiction.

I remember when I stopped drinking, the withdrawals nearly killed me. What are your withdrawals like, Brad?

Sweaty palms and a bad mood?

I am shocked that anyone would say that marijuana is addictive.....that can't be because the libertarians say that marijuana is safe, and better than alcohol...

I agree that I am sick of non-violent drug abusers and similar criminals tying up our prisons...our prisons belong to the rapists, the molesters, the child kidnappers and the murderers....

prison is not for simple drug offenses, hanging a rope in a tree, burnig a cross on a lawn, kicking a dog, stealing candy from a store, shouting racial insults, or taking extra newspapers from the stands.....feel free to add to the list..
