At times the law does seem as a nuisance, like water moccasins around a fishing or swimming holes. To be wary of, but not petrified in fear of.

If god had wanted people to smoke pot, he would not have invented liquor license.

@ knowA

Enforcing ANY law makes the public hate the police. Nobody likes to be told what to do.

All prohibition does is make the public hate police.

90 plants found and destroyed in Escambia?
LOL
That only tells me that ESCO stumbled upon them doing something else, and someone squealed for the rest.
90 plants tells me ECSO made no real effort to find plants, and may have ignored many in order to perpetuate the local trade.

The war on drugs, especially marijuana, likens itself to the vietnam war. A war, that will not be won no matter how much of the taxpayers money you throw at it.

@Tammy “BOO”

Though there are those who would think to reinvent or impede the wheel, the wheel is of it’s own and will continue to turn, apart, indifferent and of it’s own.

Take comfort in the knowledge that one day the sun will run out of hydrogen. Perhaps then you can cry victory in your war on pot. It was here before you, and will still be here when you are long in the ground. futility and ….

@esco deputy

Also, explain why suicide rates, domestic violence, traffic accidents, homicide rates, and opiate deaths all decrease in states that are legalized. how are all these people victims?

Scientific inquiry disputes your position, and your fall back is basically rhetoric and vague claims of harm.

@ESco deputy.

Science says otherwise. What you are referring to is called confirmation bias. Police officers don’t talk to normal, healthy, well adjusted people. By the nature of crime you only deal with a small percentage of the population (the most dysfunctional) and so your observations really aren’t representative of anything other than your own bias. You can’t make generalizations and expect people to take you seriously.

Also you talk about changing the law… explain why so many officers use public resources to make speeches and advocate for a particular side of this argument. Explain why so many police organizations support prohibition.

The fact is you all know this is in your financial best interest. You just look dishonest by trying to claim that marijuana creates victims, when you are the one victimizing them.
