FL attorneys ar like organized criminals... they are already preparing for legalization; own smoke shops, writing laws for distribution, and arranging smoke shops in shopping centers.
Soon the only crime will be Murder of a minority. Making just one crime would save resources and law enforcement could focus on a limited population.
But Sheriff Prummel said catching pot smokers usually leads to other crimes.
“I don’t see it as a waste of time because, like I stated before, they’re likely involved in something else, or they’re going to expand into something.”
Gee, Sheriff, why don’t we just outlaw being poor? Most crime is committed by poor people, so poor people are probably involved in crime, or they’re going to expand into something...
many years ago in the early seventies I met a person who was a jockey and rode horses for Al capone..many wins..He has passed now..
we would sit and talk around a campfire on his florida property about many things, and said do you want to know the truth? I said sure, we went out to the edge of his property
and I saw many people with flashlights standing in a field in the shape of an arrow.. they were flashing on and off, a plane came and dropped some kind of bales all over the field, a few minutes later, a police evidence van and many cars came in the field, no lights, picked up the contraband and left...
My friend looked at me and said that’s the truth..
I am not sharing this to incriminate police , we need them, God Bless them..just that the war on marijuana is really a vicious cycle of folks making money dealing it, arresting folks, imprisoning and return to recycle..a money machine,,has nothing to do with morality..
It is not right to imprison folks for marijuana..
Should never have been criminalized in the 1st place.
Decriminalize cannabis asap, regulate it as Washington State or Oregon or Colorado has or better yet, legalize it as Washington DC did.
More freedom is always better. Prohibition & the infamous waste called the “War On Drugs” are epic fails.
We need law to regulate individuals in society that do not have the intelligence or ability to regulate themselves. Laws deter people from behaving in a manner that negatively affects the quality of life of others. Therefore, we have laws to: protect people against themselves, enforce the rights of others and solve conflicts justly.
In Florida specifically, politicians and attorneys continue to place the legalization of pot on the ballot even though it voters have repeatedly rejected the proposition to legalize pot.
If medical marijuana is necessary,m pharmaceutical companies develop pills that administer exact dosages per pill.
Yes, prohibition did result in decreased consumption of alcohol.
BTW, some would argue that the politicians did not want or allow victory in the war on drugs. Rather, in the past boot-leg politicians used money and influence in league with organized crime to have anything they wanted as our new breed of nefarious politicians and lawyers support drug runners today.
Politicians did not allow victory in the war on drugs in the past and will not allow in the future.
