I have zero pity for any drug dealer.
Well, pot can certainly be abused. You should not be impaired by anything (legal or not) when driving. I don't nitpick over what people do in the privacy of their own homes as long as they don't hurt others. With that said though, heavy drug use or drinking does not enhance ones life skills or career advancement.All things in moderation. Like the Good Book says.
I'm betting its pretty hot where ol' Harry J. is spending his eternal rest.
No mention of that infamous 1937 propaganda movie "Reefer Madness." Ahhhh yes, it used to play from time to time at high school and college campuses during the 70's as a joke film. And, of course, the theatres would fill up with pot smoke as the crazed youth smoked the evil weed and cackled with laughter at such a ridiculous movie.
After booze became legal again they had to criminalize pot just to keep jobs.
Because he had some screwy ideas about marijuana?
Sgt Stadanko?
Because he railroaded his screwy ideas into an unjust law, and ruined countless lives.
Selling drugs for profit, should be a felony with harsh penalties. I would go as far as the death penalty, for manufacturing or selling the hard drugs that are now illegal. Society needs to structure it so that the ones that profit, lose their lives, while the ones that get caught up in it as users, get treatment(for crank, heroin or crack). Have some form of flexible sentencing, so they MUST turn in their pusher, or serve a long long sentence. If they are bottom of the chain, mandatory treatment, top or middle, a sentence that befits them. Of course if a user is caught a second time, treatment then prison.
My son is into crank right now, he is a 31 YO piece of horse dung. He got out of prison for manufacturing after a 6 month sentence. The day he got out, he was using. He was caught with the makings of the stuff within a year, with loaded weapons in the car....a stolen car at that. Guess what? He is still waiting trial, it has been about 6 months since his first arrest, and has been arrested once more with the same charges (weapon, and makings)....this system is tough ya know......Why even have laws if there is no teeth?
No more Walgreens for you then!
What are you smoking?!! This post is about a law that was passed in Denver during the past week, not 70 years ago.
I'm sorry for your son, but, in a way, he is a product of the entire problem and it all starts with 'soft' drugs. I repeat, zero pity for drug dealers.
It all starts with the legal drugs tobacco and alcohol. Do you support banning them?
Isn't that special -- NOT!
How many times have you turned your son into the police for his drug activities? How many people has your son committed acts of violence against? Has anything been done so that his victims get restitution for their pain and suffering? How much education-rehabilitation has been offered him?
Marijuana -- the gate way drug. Apparently the gateway is to prohibition of some drugs and a gateway to WOsomeD.
<< I have zero pity for any drug dealer. >>
Me too.
And that is every criminal drug dealer's and/or user's just due.
But my strongest imaginable contempt, scorn, derision and loathing is reserved for the perpetrators of the only deservedly capital crime insofar as drug production, distribution, sale and useage is concerned;
For the deservedly capital crime that has seen to the transfer of imense wealth and power to the world's most evil -- and has seen to that politically and bureaucratically-enrichened and empowered most evil's consequential criminalization of several generations and to the total destruction of much of our nation's youth and culture.
My strongest imaginable contempt, scorn, derision and loathing is reserved, that is, for the perpetrators and perpetuators of the deservedly-capiital crime called prohibition.
Most stoners I ever met could hardly summon the gumption to murder a bag or Doritos.
What an idiotic statement.
Anybody with any even a minimal contact with any of these drugs knows this is absurd.
