Apparently, there is no limit to government thuggery when it comes to the war on drugs.

Yeah, life's a bitch when you commit a major felony and then flee the United States to avoid paying for your massively criminal behavior--behavior that contributes to the death or stupidification (through the well-known 'burn-out' syndrome) of your customers.

There is no medical use of mary j. There are only crooks with a publicity firm.

I for one would like to see MJ leagalized for recreational use, but the article you posted, is no poster child for the cause... This guy fled and they caught up with him. If anything, this goes against what your trying to do...

If he really believed he was within the law he wouldn't have left the country. Be running he made things far worse. Now he gets to pay the price.

The major felony of trying to relieve his own pain? Oh yeah, strap this guy in the chair.

You're aware, aren't you, that once this guy's in prison, hell be getting pain medication that's more dangerous and addictive than marijuana, right? And you'll be paying for it.

BTW, I forgot to ask - what was the "major felony?"

I'm with you on this one. Legalize it but don't use junk science and false justifications.

There is no medical use of mary j.

In early 1967, I was drenched by the South China Sea washing over the side of our Destroyer, while UnRep fueling. I was told to go down to the infirmary, and get a little bottle of brandy...

In 1967, I was on a summer cruise to San Francisco. After attending a midshipman's ball, I went with some friends to Haight Street, and bought a little matchbox full of mary j. I smoked it in a cigarette, emptyed of tobacco. I liked it.

In 1994, I was bitten by a tick, and contracted Lyme disease. I almost died. I smoke "mary j." now, to relieve some of the symptoms. I still get high, sure, but it has definitely helped relieve the symptoms of the Lyme disease. My doctor recommended it.

You have no idea what you are talking about!!

By lead poisoning. Small led pellets injected at high speed in the back of the skull, when the skull is owned by someone who didn't pay the organization as much as the organization thought it had coming. Or when the skull is a Mexican policeman or a Columbian prosecutor.

It's not a crime to be stupid; it's a crime to make someone even stupider than they already are. I have high school classmates from the 70s who are still paying for getting high every day.

Tell that to people with severe glaucoma (among other nasty and painful diseases). If some one has a terrible diseases and it helps them have a better quality of life, I'm not going to stand in their way.

I'm a Californian, a Republican and I voted to legalize MJ for people who's doctor says it provides relief. I also don't appreciate the Fed stepping in and trampling states rights and the will of the state's voters.

He's not trying to relieve his own pain. He's trying part fools from their money.

You're aware, aren't you, that once this guy's in prison, hell be getting pain medication that's more dangerous and addictive than marijuana, right? And you'll be paying for it.>>

And I'd be glad to pay every dime. He's a drug dealer. Lock the barstid up.

Theme song here: I fought the law and the law won!

Too bad, try a legal drug next time.

What "organization" is that?

But MJ doesn't help a glaucoma victim's quality of life, it only helps the quality of life of the scum that sells it, by giving him a mansion to live in.

Well, you are good to be a Republican, good to be a Californian, and ... er ... misguided to vote to legalize MJ. You didn't vote to help sick people; you voted (whether you knew it or not) to make drug thugs rich and teenagers into burnouts.

I also don't appreciate the Fed stepping in and trampling states rights and the will of the state's voters.>>

If your state flies the US flag, it follows the flag's laws. End of story.

The three who are pushing up daisies (car accidents while high) are not anecdotes. They left grieving friends and families.
