What I saw in DryEyes post was that he was upset at the hit to his wallet. The cost to him was expensive. I have not been in that circumstance, I have been in another circumstance that I will relate in a second, anyway,the law is kind of funny, it does have loopholes, a lack of clarity, and cracks or spaces. Although the law is very formal, procedure wise, its not science. DryEyes situation is easy to handle if you look at it from a legal point of view.

Deny it - why is this so hard for some of you. Look, everyone speeds. Everyone. No its not a different subject, we speed and we deny it, like all the time. Oh, thats the speed limit, not a second thought about it. So, first point deny it, you never, never admit guilt, that is our legal system, that applys as well to Dryeyes circumstance. Any Karma guys, want to tell me about their driving Karma, I think not.

Defend it - the charge is not anyway in line with the damages. Maybe even DryEyes did not understand the contract. He saw smoking and thought tobacco. There was no meetings of the minds, so to speak, whoops, no contract...now the question is merely what was the real damage. Whats wrong with the defense just being it is too much money, same thing, yes he agreed to a contract, so what, the damages are out of line. Does anyone think that hotel went in with steam cleaners, pulled off the drapes and dry cleaned them, spent in anyway, two hundred dollars on toxic cleanup? I think not.

So DryEyes says, hell its fraud,I want to see the cleaning bill. Are they going to produce it ? Nah, all DryEyes has to do is call his CC company and say its fraud. deny, deny, deny. If the company feels so strong about the damage to their building, let them prove it in small claims court, they get to bring in the maid, i.e their evidence, show their bills for the cleanup...guess what, they aren't going to come to court, they are not going to serve DryEyes, they are going to blow it off. The law applys here..a contract is more than an agreement, its more basic, its a meeting of the minds, I think DryEyes assumed they were fair when he signed the contract, i.e. the damage part, well he was wrong and there is nothing wrong with confronting that after the fact.

I did say after the fact, the denial, he could call them and offer them 50 bucks.

Anyway that is just me, I did 40 hours of community service for spitting on someone. Yep. My Attorney said, the guy probably deserved it. Like, whatever, I didn't regret it, oh it cost a thousand bucks to the Attorney, so what, the guy deserved it. I still laugh about it.

In short, I stand up for marijuana and marijuana users. I vote, I write nasty letters to politicians for the basic in-equities that exist for marijuana, the crime of possessing an oz of pot in much of this country does not equal the punishment. In Iowa, have any amount of pot and you lose your license. so, you got it ? I say fuck em and their overpriced damages, DryEyes you are not alone in your struggle. Stand up to the man !!
