Bears repeating: "If they don't know what a marijuana plant looks like, maybe they should bring a picture with them," he told the TV station, "before they invade a citizen's home."

Sounds like an episode of RENO 911 ... too bad this is real life, with real guns and real consequences.

I'm sure this won't be popular on Freerepublic, but in my opinion, they should simply legalize marijuana. It's a waste of resources to enforce laws against a narcotic that is not a whole lot more dangerous than alchohol, if at all.

More popular than you might think - I for one am not exactly thrilled about having my wallet robbed to pay for citizen harassment, and I don't see how this effort is going to be any more successful than Prohibition.

i agree with you... the biggest fan of the DEA are the drug cartel. the drug dealers depend on the government to make their commodity more valuable and thus vastly increase their profits...

How in the world did they mistake Hibiscus for pot?

Either that, or arrest all children who spin around to get dizzy.

Texas cops thought they'd made a major drug bust when they raided a home northwest of Houston last Tuesday.
Probably the same cops headed for the nearest watering hole to unwind after their tour of duty What hypocrisy

I agree but it ain't gonna happen.
Too many otherwise worthless lawyers make their livings off pot busts, not to mention the billions in reeducation programs, counseling mandated by courts etc etc.

It's a waste of resources to enforce laws against a narcotic that is not a whole lot more dangerous than alchohol, if at all. I can be neutral because I am an oddity in my circles in that I do not bother with the stuff. Of all the people I know whose lives were ruined by substances, alcohol tops the list, followed by a smaller number of cocaine problems.
To include pot with those substances is a legal fiction, and apparantly the Public has "nullified" that law without judicial sanction. If joints were distributed after the Rodney King verdict, there would have been no riots. People may have intended to riot, or even planned to. But not right then, maybe sometime later, or tomorrow or sometime...what was I saying?

I confess that I took a puff or two when I was in college 30 years ago. It was no big deal. Of course, there is the slippery slope theory, but then maybe we should ban alcohol on that theory as well. Make it legal, but tax it up the wazzoo, like they do cigarettes.
To: Brilliant
If cigarettes were illegal and we know that they cause lung cancer, would you lobby for it to become legal and therefore inflict cancer on its users?

Deputy Mayor Mike Flaherty:I don't know if you've noticed this...but this city is involved in a "war on drugs."
Carter:
How's that going?
Flaherty:
Any day now!
