Does this mean our police tactics are working? Or, does this mean that weed is everywhere and the cops are just beginning to find the tip of the iceburg? Allow CA patients to live and address the illegal concerns. That's my motto.....how about you?

Answer 1

drug war is perhaps the only war more costly and stupid than the iraq war.

it's been proven in us history that prohibition does not work.. it only funds corruption and crime.

2% of all americans are in jail.. more than any other western country.. pretty much more than anywhere else in the world..  half of those are for non violent drug crimes.

drugs are illegal .. because there is no profit in these drugs if they were legal..

they are illegal cus politicians are corrupt.. they are illegal cus half the law enforcement industry would lose their jobs if decriminalized .. they are illegal cus the criminals would lose their source of income if legalized.. and again.. cus politicians are corrupt.

nothing the cops do will win the drug war.  we just p**s away more money and lives.. the special interest profit is in the war.. so the war goes on..  dispite the fact it screws americans.

Answer 3

THE DEA and all of the other money wasting federal agency's will NEVER EVER make any kind of significant "DENT" in the growing of marijuana ever.

Answer 4

200 plants is nothing. Pot isn't going away. The war against it is illogical. The legal drugs are far more addictive, and they do far more organic damage. The more they pot they confiscate the higher the value of pot that remains. It is like a wasteland nightmare. It's the same thing over and over. It's time to end this stupid war.
