not to mention most simple possession is just a fine. if you are doing serious time you either had a fuck ton of pot and were selling it or you were using harder drugs or you were near a school. you get caught with a joint you might do a night in jail and pay a $500 fine or some shit.
I have lived with a born hearing deficit that was never covered under ACA. Which really fucking sucks because hearing aids are expensive as hell, and Audiology appointments/hearing tests even more so in the long run. It's kind of hard for me to feel compassion for pot heads getting benefits cut when I never had them in the first place. My mother has survived cancer 3 times. She has a weed card. Bob the janitor has depression because he's 50 and makes minimum wage. He has a weed card. One has a legitimate medical claim, the other just needs a hug. Get back to me when legitimate users of medical weed get their benefits cut.
Alcohol makes Money and Cannabis has not had it's chance (for the Feds). This country was baptized with a business finger up the British nostrils. It's not a society issue but the guts and right to do what you want believe is A personal freedom. It becomes a social dilemma when there is an effect on those who dislike it and want to Own You.
Sorry, but he went through 7 jobs in about 2 years. At some point, I just gave up feeling sorry for him.
There you go. People act like SWAT teams and the US Marshals are going to be raiding the basements of hippies and crushing bongs. I don't think so.
Could land on your "rap sheet" which could toss you into a prison in another State, Federal jurisdiction or deny you the great job you wanted. In simple terms, you are fucked just because you did this. Of course prison occupation with rapists and assault specialists was a common problem years ago. Spicer/Trump wants Anslinger to be reborn.
That's exactly what happened in California when Reagan was governor....I saw it first hand...it's not acting to know history can repeat itself with equally bad results...Reagan used SWAT teams...dogs, helicopters and huge trucks to raid people's homes and jail them...you can ignore it if you want...you might not be old enough to put this issue in perspective...not sure but cops against hippies usually doesn't end well
So why would you risk your job, your family's welfare, and your clean record......just to smoke something that's illegal? It makes zero sense to me. Everyone keeps telling me that weed isn't addictive, so surely a person can go through life without a need for illegally consuming weed. Note, I said "ILLEGALLY consuming weed". It just baffles me that people would be willing to risk everything just to smoke a bowl. I just don't understand it. If it's not addictive, then what gives? You are correct: I was too young (born in 1983). But are you sure it was for a few hippies smoking a bowl, or was it for illegal growing operations? There's a big difference between the two.
Then they weren't very smart hippies, if you ask me. But this is besides the point. Don't break the law. It's not hard to do. Yes, an argument can be made that lots of people do illegal things over stupid shit that shouldn't be illegal, but is. But I'm not going to feel compassion for those who choose to break the law and get busted over something so stupid. If a serial killer can get away with his crimes for decades, then surely you're smart enough to smoke weed and not get caught.
Possibly "Just to piss you off" lol Stats for thos I'm talking about an incident....from your past...... Used against you any time in the future by anyone who wants to own you. I am 63 and I have personally seen what cops and macho right wing jackasses do to people just because the "Look Like The Kind That Deserves" a good beating was in their Jack Daniels laced breath. I had long hair, followed The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Hendrix, Zappa, Doobie Brothers, Little Feat, Los Lobos, SRV and so forth. I played bass and guitar in many bands, picked up hitchhikers, went to two Woodstocks and over the years saw the difference in people of my generation and generation whatever it is now. I and others in here had Great Times that people born in 1983 had never experienced. My son was born in 1980. He loves me because he sees my respect for anyone who wants personal freedom, absent of any skin color and lives a good life without hanging a placard on someone else's neck. That's all and I only want to express myself on this matter. I never carry animosity or grudges. Peace to you.
You and Sly are true "freedom loving" humans. Bullshit phrases we had seen instituted by the right wing jackasses always piss me off because those who say it are clueless bigots....like God Bless America and In God We Trust whilst they beat up a person of a skin color other than "white" is complete hypocrisy.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Now...who wants to come over for a BBQ on the new concrete porch in my back yard?
Wouldn't you know it...I lost my guns in a boating accident somewhere. Big ol' gust of wind came by and tipped my boat over. It's the damnest thing....
