Lamar county tired...of drugs? C'moooon You know your uncle LeRoy and his brother Craig are in the back cookin' you up a batch of meth right now.
Don't bash on people just because they smoke cannabis. If you think cannabis is wrong and should stay illegal, then you should have no problem criminalizing alcohol again and making cigarettes illegal too then, hmmm?
Same basic principle, except alcohol and tobacco are faaaaar more dangerous than cannabis.
Stop being angry please(:
If the policemen will just be a little more patient, they can get them for impeding the traffic as well.
Here's another thought for you...How many meth arrests are in the paper? Do you think they all quit? Several of the homicides that have happened were because of meth. How many was over weed?
Now I am not saying let the potsmokers off free. Since it is illegal (for now), that does make them criminals. But go back over the last arrest reports and see when the last arrest for meth was.
1. The quality will go down due to government control.
2. Taxes, do you want Uncle Sugar to get a piece of the brownie. The price for a few joints will be as much as a tank of gas. In California alone marijuana brings in about $40 billion a year, if it was legal then our government would get the lion’s share of that money.
Don't try and rationalize the crap. If you want to smoke it then do it in a place that you want suffer the consequences and repercussions of the law.
Alcohol and cigarettes have nothing to do with smoking marijuana. Yes both will kill you but so will marijuana. And to anybody who thinks it will be legalized anytime soon should smoke another one and think a little longer.
When I was a stupid kid I use to think the same stupid shit. When you get older and have kids and are anywhere near being a fit parent you will not want your kids involved with drugs or people doing drugs. Have your fun now, but be safe and don’t allow your ignorance to get someone or yourself hurt or killed. In the words of the infamous Rick James “Cocaine is a wonderful drug”, that’s right he’s dead to.
