"All of a sudden, they burst in with their guns loaded, pointing at me, screaming, 'Get on the floor! Get on the floor!'" northwest Harris County resident Blair Davis told KHOU-TV.
Sure sounds like a dynamic entry to me. I don't think common sense or legality concerns these folks.
Police officer says, "That is one high biscus."
It's been a remarkably mild arguement so far...must mean everyone's read thier latest National Review.
(As she maces yet another citizen)..."Say hay hay!"
That is very true!
Just reread it and you'll see I'm being foolish with sincere questions.
Yep.
U.S. federal law prohibits its production in the United States though allows hemp-based products to be marketed.
It means the thread has not been trashed by apologists for the deeply irrational and unConstitutional WOD:
The ones who claim Soros-financed conspiracies are the only people agitating for repeal of modern Prohibition.
The ones who claim that the government can do anything it wants, as long as the Courts support it - "We done it all nice and legal."
The ones who have ODed on government agitprop Koolaid.
The ones who can usually find a smarmy rationale for these types of shameful abuses.
So these fanatics are lying low - which is a good thing! ;^)
Oh. Well, if some teen tries to smoke industrial hemp to get stoned, the poor wretch's gonna be 65 and have lung cancer before he even feels a tingle. The THC rate of industrial hemp is reaaaaal low !
ROFLMCO, maybe the ice cream truck driver got into an argument with the customer over hibisscus plants???
This is too much for me! LOL
I presume the Hibisscus weren't in bloom at the time??? This is too funny!
It tells me that we are spending way too much money on fighting War on Drugs, and that we should be investigating where that money is going. It also means that in all the years we have been spending that money, we haven't made one iota of difference in consumption or cost. It is still a lucrative black market and more and more dealers getting into it every day.
History of the Prohibition of Alcohol should have taught us something, but it obviously did not. We should be taking those dealers off the street, taking our children back from their influence, and letting the taxation and regulation do the job that cannot be done any other way. Legalize marijuana, tax it, show ID to buy it and the consumption will go way down.
Instead we drug the children of America with Ritlin and other drugs per schools and teachers who don't want to deal with normal children, drugs that are equal to morphine and cocaine. Our views are warped in USA on this issue.
"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?"
If Big Macs were illegal and we know that they cause obesity, would you lobby for it to become legal and therefore inflict obesity on its consumers?
yes to both.....why anyone else get to decide what people do with their own bodies. I don't tell you what you can do with yours.
"Do y'all have any competent cops down there. I've never seen any evidence of it."
Nope. All S*** for brains jerk offs!
See my previous posts. I agree with you, however given that we're forced into health plans because costs have skyrocketed for even common ailments, these cancers etc effect my pocketbook now.
Thats why government health systems are so insidious, the give the government a good REASON to care about what you eat, smoke and drink.
I'm 26yo, 5;8" 165lbs. I'm sick once every 3 years with a cold, nothing more. When I was unemployed I had to pay 200 a month for medical coverage. That's INSANE. The reason is because I have to support all the obese, cigarette smoking drug abusers that also need coverage.
Even the hardest of the hardline approach doesn't seem very effective:
International Narcotics Control Strategy Report: Iran
"Iran has executed more than 10,000 narcotics traffickers in the last decade"
-- International Narcotics Control Strategy Report: Iran
Tackling Iran's heroin habit
Iran has the world's highest proportion of heroin addicts and a growing Aids problem
Do you have a link handy?
No sorry, I am reading it the old fashioned way as a book. It is on page 77 of the paperback published by Norton.
