Bah, this stuff happens all the time. I remember seeing video of a woman complaining to some cops in front of her mobile home that someone had sold her a bag of baking soda, pretending it was coke. She got to think it all over in jail.

rufus plz dont twist my words. what I meant is things dont jump from moral to immoral based on a cost/benefit analysis. ie. stealing 50 cents is immoral. its not "ok" just cuz it was a very small #.
I like tho how I took an entire page to try and point out my own personal morality and u completely and totally missed the entire thing. thereby seemingly forcing me to restate it agian, well tuff. not gna happen.Comment

Pot should be legal. I know many professional people who like to smoke a little pot. The fact is that pot can be done in moderation by most users and the harm to society is negligable. Pot smokers are much safer drivers than drinkers, you don't lose consiousness or control of your body, you just laugh a little more and lose some short term memory. I tell you, I'd rather have my teenagers stoned than drunk.
I know the comparison to drinking doesn't justify it entirely, but the point is that pot has been around for millenia and I just haven't seen the justification for not allowing me to grow a couple weeds in my own back yard for my own personal use. The idea that I could be arrested for doing it seems to violate our basic property rights and freedom to pursue happiness.Comment

Man Tells Cops that his Pot was Stolen!
Oh man, that's beautiful.
Go legalization.
Find the man his pot.

But Frogman? Haven't you seen the commercials? Pot is responsible for all child shootings, all traffic accidents, and date rape!

The thing about pot is that you can grow all you need in your own yard. The stuff about supporting terrorism is such crap.Originally posted by Ramo
And terrorism, of course.
What we should have done in the 60's and 70's was plant pot seeds instead of throwing them out. We should have covered the country in more pot than they could control. It would be like Kudzu. We need a Johnny Potseed. Too bad you can't get high on dandelions.Comment

(1) Sorry, people do actually murder other people to get pot. We had a case around here recently where a young man murdered another because he thought his pot had been stolen. People have also been murdered haggling over the price or in the process of stealing weed. People have also committed murder while under the influence of marijuana.
(2) Marijuana definitely impairs coordination and judgement. It clearly interferes with the user's ability to operate vehicles and machinery. While impairment by alcohol generally parallels blood levels, and alcohol has a simple linear excretion rate that makes it possibler for a user to reasonably temper his consumption to avoid impairment, marijuana's effects don't simply parallel either blood or urine levels, and its elimination is not linear, making moderation more difficult. Nailing stoned drivers would be harder than nailing drunks because testing for marijuana in the field would be more difficult.
(3) The results of one radio program is hardy a scientific survey. Here in the US during the last election a number of pro-weed propositions were offered in a variety of states, and every single one was defeated. In the past the minions of NORML have succeeded because no one made an effort to counter them. Prior to the last election a concerted effort was made to counter their propaganda. The results were gratifying.
(4) What kind of arguement is: "well if alcohol is legal then pot should be too"? We've got one legal intoxicant already. why do we need another. Do you honestly think that legalising pot will reduce the number of drunks? There's just no reason to believe that! Legalising dope just adds to our problems.
Oh, wait, I need the work. You know business has been slow because more people know that they don't need antibiotics to treat their common colds. Go ahead, legalise pot, and I'll fix you up when you need it....for a price.

He should have just informed the police
