You know what happens to poor people that can’t pay the fines? They get sent to jail. Then they lose their job and still can’t pay the fines, penalties and interest. So it’s back to jail.

Fines only work in theory. In practice, it racks up large enforcement costs for swat teams to serve arrest warrants on broke dopeheads.

We can’t afford enforcement OR the loss of civil freedoms to our overmilitarized law enforcement.

Legalization is about starving the beast.

Nope. Its about creating more Obama voters. The more pot you smoke the more Obama/Democrats/wealth redistribution seem to make sense to you.

A stoned population is docile stupid and lemming like.
