I have one from when I was 18 I am now 43 and it was pot related, I have had liquor licenses and the limit was within 7 years for that. I now operate a computer business have more initials behind my name than actual letters in my name. I did my time and now I am a tax paying citizen that works for himself because I can't get good jobs. It is ok I do all right and actually don't like jobs anyway to may politics.

I think 5 years is a good sign your are not doing anything any longer that is an illegal enterprise. But let us say if it is illegal why would a drug dealer not be the most qualified.

I have always said that pot drug dealers are business men that did not have enough capital to start a legit business. It is low start up high return. For someone who (like me) grew up on the streets with no one or nothing to help it is a lucrative business. We are all just trying to better ourselves financially.

The problem is with the gang mentality and it not being legal you can't really do the normal things in business like advertise make a better product ect. So the answer is kill the competition.

Which is not so different from the corporate competition. Um...let us look at the pharmaceuticals what are they doing other than killing the pot competition? Only there not using bullets there using money and influence which in turn gets people locked up and lives ruined.

Please do not miss understand me. I do not think meth coke pcp lsd should be legal they are all bad chemicals. Any drug that will cause you to steal or kill for an addiction is bad. Yes weed is addictive however it is a mental addiction not physical. Which means that you can walk away if you wanted to the others are not like that.

I am lucky in the fact I can work for myself. How after being a felon is someone to get a decent job? When you wonder why we have such a high recidivism rate think about that. What choice do these people have if they have kids working for minimum wage which is not enough to buy gas to get to work.

It is easy to be high on your horse when you have not been in their shoes. There is NO REHABILITATION IN JAIL it is only a place to network. Society is cruel and we wonder why people end up back in jail.

There is a place for jail as well as a place for compassion. Some folks need to go back others end up there because they have to eat or buy shoes for the kids while others end up there because of a plant they smoked.

I am in Az and the laws here are crazy everything related to marijuana is a F**KING FELONY. Now tell me how possession or distribution is reason not to let someone try to have a better life.

Just remember here in AZ the pot you have would make you a felon. Beware the sword cuts both ways. It is easy to point your finger at others have you pointed it at yourself?

I still say we need to act responsibly that means both the dispensaries and the patients.
