Druggies Beware

[Anthon Huds]

Crime is always a crime either it is done with intention or not. I always consider it a crime because one has to suffer because of one and guilty person should be punished.

Are you ****ing nuts?!

The dirt bag was part of the 'culture' that fills people full of lead, on a regular basis.

I don't give a **** about you wanting to smoke, but you are ignoring the reprecussions of your hobby, and whining about some ****up who willingly entered that world to traffic illegal substances in volume makes you a **** up.

Seriously? People like you still exist? I have less than zero respect for people who think that drugs cause violence. Prohibition causes violence. The 21st amendment is why alcohol dealers don't need private armies anymore.

Create the crime then condemn it. It's the Conservative way in this country.

Me growing plants in my apartment has no effect on crime at large, and yet is illegal just the same. Nevermind that pot trafficking could be 20 lbs of marijuana going to medical marijuana facilities. Surely you're not so myopic to think that marijuana has the same impact that other drugs have on gang/cartel violence. Its a grey market drug. and even then there is more violent crime associated with legal prescription pills than pot.

Driving 20 pounds across the country is not a couple of plants in your apartment.

So you should rebel or be complicit in all crimes conducted by your countrymen. Are you ****ing kidding me.

WTF are you on about?

Yes. We do.

I think it should be legal, but in the meantime I think it is a rather poor career choice to become a mule for organized crime.

I believe that as the "next" generation starts to come to power then legalizing pot will be done in short order. Probably could solve the deficit with a $10/pack tax.

Indeed. I think NYE's stance is entirely reasonable. There's a difference between 'should be legal' and 'okay to do it', particularly when you're talking things more than just personal use. Mature adults can have both opinions at once

Well congratulations, he's spending his twenties in federal prison, costing the public hundreds of thousands of dollars and not doing anything remotely productive. Meanwhile, some other guys inevitably took his place in the market, so it's not like this is preventing any illegal activity. I'm sure that to you this makes a whole heck of a lot of sense, but to me it looks like a huge waste.

[Wezil]

Our crime rate is at a 40 year low yet our current Conservative government is on a prison building spree.

Of course they will need inmates to fill said prisons so they are simultaneously passing new laws to see it done.

There is nothing sensible about it.

A friend of mine used to say this...

Until he got sentenced for "trafficking" having 2 ounces on him.

[snoopy369]

Yes, the fact that some criminals we have not caught will commit crimes definitely means we should stop catching criminals.

Seems hardly relevant to the discussion about the 20 pound guy. (Also, IDK about canada, but in the US that's not likely to happen unless there's something else going on, regardless of the propaganda.)

As of 2011, 50.7% of federal prisoners were incarcerated on drug charges.

The cost of these incarcerations in over $114 billion per year

1 out of every 42 Americans are in prison

1out 36 Hispanic males are in prison

1 out of 15 Black males are in prison

1 out 9 Black males aged 20-34 are in prison

The U.S. incarceration rate is 5 times the world average.

If you are an American and you don't see this as a problem then you need to rethink the definition of Liberty.
