Here's a little something from a few years ago:


National Drug Intelligence Center
Virginia Drug Threat Assessment
March 2002
Marijuana

Marijuana, produced primarily in Mexico, is the most widely available and frequently abused drug in Virginia. However, law enforcement officers generally regard the drug as a lower threat than cocaine because marijuana abusers and distributors usually do not commit violent crimes. The number of admissions to publicly funded treatment facilities for marijuana abuse in Virginia was second only to cocaine each year from 1995 through 1999. Fifty-eight percent of all drug-related arrests by state and local law enforcement in 2000 were marijuana-related.

Oh, no, I may have been a statistic.

Come on, beautiful State of Virginia, why 58%??? 58% of all drug-related arrests is a hell of a lot.

I'm not going two time-zones to smoke pot freely. There may be revolting, sooner or later. But, remember, as a Cannabis revolution, it will be graceful and harmless, maybe even imaginary.
