Cannabis Bust in my town

I agree with Jamstigator. When alcohol was prohibited...people not only found new and more inventive ways of doing it...but it added violence,drove up the prices, and caused alot of problems that needn't be there...

now aint that a fuckin tragedy.

fucked up.

The marijuana prohibition causes way too many problems. It's the reason that we have what has to be thousands of un-reported robberies. Someone wants to pay $500 for an ounce, then they get their money took. Can't call the cops because you were trying to buy drugs. It's fucked.

ahhh man u guys are killin me! making me all sad and depressed when i was jsut so happy lol but ill forget about this issue for the time being

Don't see organized crime pushing tomatoes either. What's that old saying, "Those who forget the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them." Or something like that. You'd think we'd have learned from alcohol prohibition and the problems with organized crime during those years, but apparently we have forgotten that mistake and are now repeating it.
