That second officer is very misimformed. Addiction to Marijuana? No such thing.

And why is our view of legalizing a practically harmless plant from the Earth... twisted thinking??

It seems to me that the ones with twisted thinking are the ones who think that its just to fight a war on a victimless crime. To put people in jail, when without these laws they would be considered "good citizens".

"You have to take an oath when you become a citizen. When you take the oath its to uphold the constitution. And part of the constitution is, you know, freedom of speech, you know, freedom for the pursuit of happiness, you know. And if smoking pot isn't both, man, I don't know what is. Whats the worst thing when you get high, what, your gonna eat to much? Is that a crime?"

Well said, Tommy, well said.
