First it is marijuana. After a few years then its cocaine, then LSD or meth. Any substance abuse can be a gateway drug to all the others. I have seen it time and time again. I deal with them on a weekly basis.
Really, so gun laws are perfectly valid because your opinion doesn't account for ****?We are a nation of LAWS!!!!
Not personal opinions!!!
Someones opinion of the validity of a law does NOT negate the fact that it's the law.
If I didn't agree with the law prohibiting dueling would it be OK for me to disregard it and engage in duels?
After all, it doesn't hurt anyone but the participants in the duel.
Hell, it's a victimless crime!!
X2...complicated ain't it? No sympathy from me. I despise dopeheads especially ones that have guns.
Show me in the Constitution where it gives the people the right to smoke marijuana and that the right shall not be infringed. Don't try calling me out on bull**** when you have never met me.
I apologize that I was raised that you shouldn't use drugs. I've never seen marijuana contribute anything positive to our society, unless lack of caring and motivation are positives for us. I don't dig for the stuff but when it is placed right in front of me, you will be arrested as much for your stupidity as for your using marijuana.
We aren't dealing with illegal searches, no-knock warrants, gun seizures, open-carry or anything that is genuinely protected by the Constitution so try comparing apples to apples in the future.

Instead, they should have just flagged and monitored her and then busted her on tax evasion when she didn't claim that income.
That is what happens when you sell illegal drugs! Hope she learned her lesson! You know how many people get shot and killed over drug deals gone bad? I don't know the exact number but I know I have been on multiple cases like that. Do the crime and you have to do the time. Good on the prosecutors where ever she was for ensuring she got what she deserved!

but I think some of that has to do with who people choose as friends, and also addictive personalities.
I'm not trying to get into a LE vs civilian pissing match here. We can complain all we want about how laws should be changed but that doesn't change them. When marijuana becomes legal, I'll let you smoke it out of a bowl on the hood of my squad car. I am paid to enforce laws as they're written on the books.

And they say cops won't obey orders to confiscate guns.
Yeah...shooting people is a lot like ingesting a natural growing plant that makes you feel funny, hungry, and sleepy...totally awesome analogy there Mike.
The thing that bothers me the most about people like you is you are so clueless it's nearly impossible to have any sort of argument with you. The law banning marijuana came about through opinions that it made you crazy and killed your brain cells. Neither of these things are true, so the ban certainly wasn't based on any facts.
We became a nation through the opinion that we should become a nation. Every law and every action is formed by opinions. The only people who believe we are a nation of opinion-less laws are the Mr. Robotos who go around enacting laws and arresting people over plants with no regard for liberty or the long-term damage this **** does to us as a country.
And we aren't even a nation of laws. We are a nation of laws for most. Our lawmakers and law enforcers get to run prostitution rings, steal and sell drugs, disarm the good guys, and lock us up the first chance they get to make some more money off of us. As long as it's legal for a police officer to buy or sell marijuana as a tool to arrest a citizen for selling or buying marijuana then we are not a nation of laws. We're a nation of only tyrants and "criminals" where the law bends like a bow to suit those who are in charge.
Yup that's my job, I don't make the laws, the guys in suits and ties in who are currently in Illinois do. If I didn't want to enforce these laws, I would quit and find another career and I can guarantee someone else would step into take my spot.If there is anything at all we know from history is that it is always a simple matter to fill the enforcement arm of the government with people who are willing to put their own sense of right and wrong aside and do whatever they are told.
I still have morals so I don't think I would be torturing anyone. If someone told me I was forced to do it, I would quit.If they passed a law tomorrow not next year, not in ten years, but tomorrow, that members of a certain group could be rounded up, or that torture was okay in interrogations, or that guns must be consfiscated, there would be people in uniforms willing to enforce it.
So Cocaine should be legal too? I don't think so.Sending someone to jail for selling a naturally occurring plant to someone else in a situation where no coercion is involved is oppression and tyranny pure and simple. We may have grown used to it, but that's what it is.
What are you excusing me from? Arresting someone who was possessing an illegal narcotic? Excuse me for being part of the "tyranny."Just because it's a law don't make it right. Just because someone is following orders doesn't excuse them for what they've done.
That's a pretty big jump comparing me to a Nazi. If you want to exercise your natural rights more, then feel free to move to another state or country where they can be exercised. No one is stopping you.From Roman centurions, to Nazi SS, to the Stasi or the KGB. Alway, always there is someone willing to cash their blood money checks on the backs of citizens exercising their natural rights.
She was not just possessing marijuana though, she was dealing according to the article. Little more serious then possession in the case of charging. Who knows what her history was either. There are a lot of factors that could go into this. If this was a first offense, and all she got hit on was dealing $31 dollars worth of marijuana, which would likely be a less than 30 grams amount, then she did get a pretty steep punishment. Different states, different laws.Although I feel prohibition of marijuana is ignorant, until we change the law it is illegal.
That being said, the punishment should fit the crime. Felonies for marijuana is insanity.
It's not like there's an honor system for criminals. If a uniformed LEO walked up to a drug dealer and asked if he was selling drugs, he'd most certainly say no, so I fail to see the issue with undercover officers...unless, of course, you're dealing drugs yourself.
And, honestly, I don't give a damn if Mother Theresa was caught selling pot. It's still illegal, and she still knew it was illegal. Ten years may be a bit harsh, but probation would be too lenient in my opinion.
...also, saying that it's just a plant is like saying meth is just household chemicals.
So Cocaine should be legal too? I don't think so.
