Reefer Madness

This dude won eight gold medals, don't you think he might want to celebrate in private in his own non-threatening manner?
So, let's just say I put a flower vase to my lips and some doosh takes a photo, puts it on the internet and tells the general public that I'm getting high. This now gives the cops "due cause" to bash into my house with their guns drawn to bust me (and my small children) for illegal narcotics which I have never used or possessed?
Sounds like a RepubliCon's perfect concept of justice.

It's under the heading of Justice.

Much to do about nothing. Marijuana laws and enforcement are the biggest waste of our country's resources since prohibition.

Such a shame that our society will not really be honest about things. This is not about the 'deadly reefer'. This is all about money. This is all about taxes. Cannibis (though changed a lot by selective breeding and stronger) is an indiginous plant; it will grow almost anywhere in the country. Make it legal and suddenly you have no tax revenue as you get on cigarettes and alchohol. All those billions gone .... we certainly cannot allow that to happen! Why our Federal State and Municipal governments need more, more, and more money. There will never be enough .... so anyone who interferes with the flow of cash to the coffer .. belongs in jail, of course.

Tell Dr. Lonnie, I'm not on a street corner selling crack, and have feeling of grandeur of being a thug, or in a gang.

...dot dot dot!!! he's my freaking hero!!! he can break records and prove he's human!!! people are just jealous that at their highest and most sober state, they can't even crack open a box of cereal with arrows and directions telling you where to start!

He is one of the greatest Olympians of all time and he's a pothead. Maybe we should all smoke pot. We might get better at what we do the same way Phelps did.

This is the best I've read on the matter.

Nice opinion piece on the biggest non-news event of the year. Phelps is a dope (pun intended) for partying with strangers while famous, but all the uproar is nothing but hypocrisy. Who cares? Is he one of the greatest swimmers of all time? Yes. Did America make way to big a deal of him because of his accomplishments? Yes. Is he a role model for my children because of it? No. Is he a terrible person? No. Let's get over this...

Really the whole idea of criminalizing something that anyone would admit is not a crime is by definition damaging to you justice system as a whole and particularly to drug laws. when somebody is arrested for murder you now if he did it he is a bad guy if he is arrested for drugs you start asking which drugs and the cop becomes the law maker to decide which drugs are harmful?

It's about time to realize that the 'drug laws' are a total failure in this country and around the world. It is time to stop trying to dictate to people what they can and cannot put into their own bodies, as long as they are not causing a physical DIRECT danger to someone else (let's face it.... safer to drive while on marijuana than it is to drive SOBER for some people!).
Then, all the black market drugs would come into the light where their dosages can be regulated easier and government would be getting taxes for them being sold legally.

Turns out the Jackmeister scarfed up my cereal. Same dooshbag that put Old English 800 in the late Mista Hamsta's water bottle.

I wanted to comment on theis story, but I forgot what I was going to say. Think I'll just crack open that box of Captain Crunch.
