Yeah when he was arrested they mentioned that the charges have a sentence that could turn into life in prison. For seeds.
The charges are intent to distribute marijuana, intent to distribute seeds, and money laundering. He has already plea bargained and will do 5 years with most of that being served in a Canadian Prison.
No not at all. The war on drugs is about bureaucracy keeping itself alive. It's about making a political career out of getting tough on crime, but instead of that, cherry picking the easy stuff, costing tax payers billions and making a mandate where none exists.
There is plenty of bureacracy to go around to keep law enforcement alive. Plenty of crimes and criminals.
How long do we sit and watch people killed over it before we decide to talk about it? Not to mention that $600 per second is spent on the War On Drugs.
You dig that value?
Do you mean drug dealers killing each other or something else?
People are of various degrees of intelligence. It doesn't have anything to do with Pot. If someone wants to orchestrate their demise, they will find a way to do it with whatever means they can. I would point out though, that Pot has never killed a single person in recorded history. Also, by far the majority of people who have smoked Pot don't go on to use hard drugs. The Gateway myth is just that.
I have to agree. I just had a childhood friend who started smoking but it led to a life of crime and drug use and eventually prison. However I am sure alcohol could have done the same thing.
It doesn't dull reality at all. If anything it intensifies it to a small extent. It is demotivational in some pursuits though, fighting, making more money, war it seems. In testing these are among the things that the subjects were not very interested in. Talking is something that in enhanced though along with thinking things over, relaxing and of course laughing.
No doubt... the high is good. Heck I enjoyed getting the high when I was younger but it was costly and very demotivational. I am laughing thinking back...songs did sound better and all that.
Medical Pot has to come from somewhere. :lol: One plant is not like the next. There are now "strains" of plants just as there are different kinds of beer, wine or spirits. New one's are being developed all the time. And so it is that growers have a much larger selection to pin point the exact hybrid to match their particular needs.
If a law doesn't do what it is intended, and it actually causes more harm than the substance the law in intended to ban, what use is the law?
We can't afford to house the people we have in jail now. Don't forget we have a slightly different system than your own. He'll be sent home with a ankle bracelet in less time than they hold him when he surrenders. I suppose they will tell him that he shouldn't sell pot seeds to Americans, but that slack was already scooped up when they raided his store front in B.C.
I suspect that this probably may keep him in the US a little longer or once some bureaucrat has to trim some budget somewhere, he'll be on a bus back to Canada. But hey it's your money right?
But what I really want to know is if it bothers you that some government agents are used to silence political views contrary to those in power at the time?
Instead of responding to each and every line... I really don't have a problem with people who smoke. What I am saying is that it is against the law and the guy broke the law. You may not like the law and have all kinds of info saying that it is wrong but the law needs to be changed then.
I think alcohol is far more dangerous and our highways and byways are a slaughter with drunk driving. Alcohol is far more destructive to peoples lives.
