i.m not blaming the cops , i am blaming the backwards citizens and the politicians who cater to them while they rob us blind.
simple possesion of pot, 28 grams, one ounce or less has a penealty of a $100 fine and 30 days probation maximum.
given that, do we really want to invest tens of thousands of limited dollars to arrest the guy who supplies that ounce?
people smoke pot. they will continue to smoke pot. they will not stop smoking pot. pot is fun and hurts no one.
that the cops have to spend their time busting nickel dime dealers when ther is real crime out there is incredibly stupid.
people carry guns because they are scared. i am not scared of a pot smoker, man.
Let alone the 30 to 50 grand a year we spend to lock them up
Good to see money that could fully fund health care going to house those non violent offenders at exhorbitant rates. When it comes to pot users, just because it is a law doesn't mean it's correct
and I don't smoke the stuff I see how it affects people and its a lot better than how many act on a few beers
