For the past two weeks, I’ve been on a Grand Jury indicting literally dozens of people with felonies for possession of a gram or less of coke or crack or whatever.

Over and over and over again.

I also live off and on in Sweden. Very few drug issues there. Also lax penalties for drugs and a lot of social support for druggies.

I am a law and order guy to the max but the present methods of eradication are not working. A different method needs to be created. Even if it is legalization.

Do you get many Swedes before your Grand Jury?

Yep....allow yourself to be a junkie, and you can get paid for it. A win/win. [and a heck of a lot more fun than getting knocked-up and 'failing' to acquire work or a committed sperm donor...a monkey on yer back that never goes away...]

80% taxation in Sweden?

I must ponder......

“A different method needs to be created. Even if it is legalization.”

Absolutely. The cure is worse than the disease.

I was on a jury call a few years ago where several young men and women were charged with pot and meth offenses.
In my pre-trial interview, I was asked if marijuana was a "problem." I answered "NO."
I was then asked if I thought meth was a problem and I answered "Yes, without doubt." Our jury found all the defendant guilty but we couldn't differentiate who was doing pot or meth, so we found everybody guilty of a lesser charge and all of us slept in our own beds that night.

Really now ~ do you think things are that good in Scanderhoovia?

Think about their drinking while driving laws.

Gad!
