Here we go again.If INGO supports the use of illegal drugs please delete my membership.If you are honest upholding residents then put a end to the use of illegal drugs and ban this kind of posting.
Alcohol was once illegal, also. Seems to me that if anything is a gateway drug, it'd be that, or cigarettes.
It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal freedom - please keep that in mind.
Walter Zoomie for president!
If you say no too drugs the cartels will leave.
If weed was legal, the cartels would "leave."
I'm a pretty decent gardener.
As everyone is, you're entitled to your opinion, Thumper. Consider, though, that (at least from my perspective) it's not so much supporting the use of "illegal drugs" as it is questioning the authority by which the determination was made that it was to be made a criminal act to merely possess a freely-growing weed. Understand that I do not, have not, and have no plans to smoke that stuff or use it in any way with the possible exception of hemp rope or cloth, I just don't recognize any Constitutional authority for the US Government to outlaw the possession and/or use of this or that chemical that they don't (or didn't) think they could make a lot of money on. (and for evidence of that assertion, please feel free to consider such "legal" things as tobacco and alcohol and also the mind-boggling concept that a substance is bad if you have it, to the point of deserving years in prison, expensive fines, and the loss of the legal ability to exercise your rights for the rest of your life, solely because of that substance being found in a certain quantity in your possession. Really? If you have three ounces, you're in trouble, but just a little bit, but if you have four ounces, you're going away for 10 years and owing $10,000 when you get out? (note that I'm pulling the amounts out of thin air; I don't know what the dividing line is between a "user" and a "dealer") Of course, you don't get in trouble for having it or even for using it, nor are you a bad person if you got a permission slip from some guy in a white coat and paid for it in a building with a big Rx sign out front. (that latter would of course, refer more to such things as narcotics and cocaine than it would to marijuana, at least in Indiana.) Heck, you could be standing in front of a LEO, legislator, or judge and be actively using narcotics right there in full view, and if you have that permission slip (prescription), there's not a bloody thing they can, or will even try to do to you for it. You could even use them in church and no one would bat an eye.
Doesn't that seem a little silly to you, that a little piece of paper that never touches the substance in question can make it all hunky-dory, but without it, someone is worthy and deserving of long, harsh punishments?
It's time to end the government's crusade against and control over the things we choose to put in our bodies.
Blessings,
Bill
