    I agree with that, other that the fact that the cop community could use the resources now focused on this stuff on real problems - thereby making our lives better.

    Wouldn't it be better to have a joint to relieve cronic pain than pain pills? Nobody overdoses on pot and pot isn't physically addictive. I have heard that pot works better on rheumatoid arthritis than pain pills. I wish I had a choice. As the older generation of politicans retire and the younger generation steps up, pot will be legal.

    Well, congrats Louisiana, went to the store last night to buy my wife some faux weed, and apparently all the stores in town were raided and their inventory confiscated, way to go Bobby Jindal, now everyone is just going to go back to pot. Sometimes it sucks living in the bible belt.

    Not as much as it sucks having to live with hair test every four to six months. Fail the hair test and you lose a upper middle class job and you can't work again until you meet dot requirements of 30 days in residential rehab and weekly piss test , at your expense, for two years. A second offense gets you banned for life from transporting or handling radioactive materials. That would cost me my profesional career. I don't think these restrictions would change if pot was legal. The dot will never allow anyone to have pot in their system and handle radioactive materials. I have at least twenty more years to work. Pot is a long lost memory and I will be damn near dead by the time I ever get to catch a buzz again.

    The bible doesn't say thou shall not smoke reefer. In fact God created weed for man to smoke. Don't blame the bible, blame stupid people.

    Yes, but just think, that first hit 20 years from now is going to send you to the twilight zone!

    I will be too old to enjoy it by then.

    If I win the power ball I will move to the mountians where medical pot is legal. With rheumatoid arthritis I bet I could get a script. I would buy a spread of land on the side of a mountian and disapear. I would go to town once a month to refill my script, buy groceries and bullets. I would spend my days riding my horse, smokin herb and shooting things with my .45. I'm going buy a ticket today for sure.

    Yeah, that's what we thought in the 60's and 70's, too. It never happened.
