It's really hard for me to believe that in 2009 a squad of special narco-police could blow into a hippie's apartment at Grand Valley State and shoot the guy because they thought he was a dealer. Thank god he's not going to die, but given where the shot landed that was more luck than design. Meanwhile, Press columnist Dave Mayo is looking at seven years for growing Chronic in the privacy of his house - and his wife could do two to three for running a "Drug House".
We're talking about Pot here, you know the stuff that is so goddamn funny in movies like Knocked Up and Pineapple Express. The stuff that Michigan voters just resoundingly approved for medicinal purposes. The weed that has never killed anyone.
It's painfully obvious that what makes Pot dangerous is the fact that it is illegal. The fact that it is illegal is why Mexican gangsters are killing each other to gain control of the business, why governments are being corrupted and why an absurd number of Americans are having their lives ruined.
It's time to change the laws, and anyone who doesn't understand this is either deranged or stupid - or maybe a gutless politician or someone who earns his living as part of the War on Drugs.
