    I can think of few things more barbaric than locking up people in our rape incarceration centers for growing a plant. Mandatory minimums in particular have locked up thousands of people who have not hurt anyone. Many of them are young people who will be abused while incarcerated. Well I shouldn’t say “incarcerated” it’s really kidnapping and torture. Just imagine that; a nation that kidnaps and tortures it’s young people for growing a plant! No, I don’t smoke, I probably look like a person who would but I don’t. I have however looked at all of the statistics and it’s clear that prohibition is not only cruel and unusual punishment, it doesn’t work!

      Amen! The jails are full of people whose “crime” was growing a plant, or selling a product which others were willing to pay for….and yet they tell us the jails are “too full” for real criminals, so they have to let the rapists and robbers go! We were told it is a “free country” [LOL!] when we were young and stupid- and yet people do not even have the freedom to do as they please with their own bodies?! (But you can drink a bottle of vodka every day, and it’s fine with the state). And the police have become truly the most violent criminals.

      And then when they finally legalize pot in the places where they do, they regulate and tax it, so that it is so expensive that it makes the former street drug dealers look benevolent! This is a sick country!

      -And I don’t smoke pot nor use any intoxicants, nor even look like someone who would. But I do get mad when they[our overlords] take MY money, and use it to pay cops to break down people’s door and shoot their dogs and ruin those people’s lives and put them in cages.

      Drugs may or may not ruin your life…but for those who use drugs, the state will DEFINITELT ruin your life.

        100% spot on! It’s sick all right. And the thing is that many of them know it doesn’t work and that harm reduction would be better for everyone involved and that includes the hardest drugs. So they keep pushing an agenda that they know is hurting people. What does that make them? Scum of the Earth, is my answer.

        I have to say though, there are some good guys out there in law enforcement as well. LEAP is a good bunch of guys. They know the real deal and they have the morals to stand up for what is right. The rest of them though put their morality aside for a paycheck. Is that the kind of people you want policing? Jack-booted thugs with no morals? Just following orders isn’t an excuse for it either.

      2. Your 2nd paragraph shows why it’s so important for states to include an allowance for x number of home-grown plants when pot is legalized. Treat it like alcohol; sell it in sores and tax it, but make allowance of a bit of legal home-growing.

    So if you live in Massachusetts or Connecticut will there be state border checkpoints where Smoky will be shaking people down for possession with intent to sell?

    1. Undoubtedly. Checkpoint police work is seldom about safety; it’s about Money.
