Since the Speaker of the House...
...has decided that we are allowed to pick and choose the laws that we follow and the laws that we don't have to follow, I have decided to ignore the marijuana laws of my state. They're stupid laws and I think it's time that the cops stopped kicking in doors in the middle of the night to catch poor weed smokers.
Which law do YOU think is stupid? Apparently, we no longer have to obey them!!!
This is gonna be so much fun.

In Illinois there is a rumor they are thinking of making it legal...for Medical reasons...
California has an est. 14 billion $$ crop from the stuff and are thinking of making it legal ...and want to sell it and tax it ...to get them out of a debt hole ...good idea!
It's about time! If I hear one mor yahoo say, "It leads to harder stuff" or that weed is a "gateway drug", I'll scream. How many pot smokers would never see harder drugs if they didn't have to go to a drug dealer to get the weed in the first place?
OMG! This blog comes up if you google "betrayed wife". Now I feel special...betrayed, but special.
What right does law enforcement people have kicking down peoples' doors to SEE if they are smoking marijuana in the PRIVACY of their own homes??? Damn, what system do you live in?
Funny, quite coincidentally, I am just coming over here from a blog which you can access through Change.org, written by a prisoner Michael Santos (hope I got that right). The man has been in prison since 1987 for possessing marijuana!!! What kind of criminals do you have executing the laws of your country, putting a man away for much of his life for possession of marijuana????
That in itself, is a crime imo.
Peace.
The door kicking thing was a reference to a plastic nut in our government...she said that in reference to illegal aliens. Apparently you'd have to be from here to pick up on that. But, I think we're on the same page...it is absolutely draconian to lock up people for a week, much less LIFE (!?) for possession of marijuana.
Peace backatcha...pass the joint and peace will abound. Smokeum that peace pipe!
:)
I'm going to that site...or at least I'm going to look for it!
Back soon!
PS I'm beginning a new internet abreviation....BS for back soon.
BS!
Lol! I don't remember the decree that we could pick and choose the laws we obey. That said, pot is not the gateway drug, tobacco is. If one were to do a study, they would find that it is the kids who smoked cigs in jr. high / middle school that also started drinking, smoking pot, snorting coke, etc. The millions who try pot in high school and college generally just leave it at that, and if they do try other things, it's just that, trying it, or experimenting.
FYI, both Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton abandoned government programs aimed at studying the effects of prolonged marijuana usage when the results from their own studies didn't give them any ammunition for their war on drugs. Those programs are still inactive today.
Making an issue out of pot use is for politicians with nothing else to run on. JMO.
The Speaker of the House declared it AMERICAN behavior to immigrate illegally...that's where I got that from.
I totally agree with everything that you said. Pot laws, like abortion laws, are there as fodder for candidates.
That said, the criminalization of weed has it's roots in bigotry. I found this quote in an old pot post that I wrote a while back:
"...The laws against pot are based in prejudice, that's a fact. It wasn't illegal until Mormons used it. The other folks in Utah couldn't get rid of the Mormons so they just made some of their traditions illegal and pot smoking was one of them. Of course then pot became something that was thought to be used by black folk so the laws became stiffer and more universal. I've discussed the asinine reasons that it shouldn't be illegal enough, I'm not going to go over it all again now. Suffice it to say that it should have never been criminalized..."
