420 Policies and Laws

That wouldn't work, as (at leas tin CA) all marijuana is manipulated to increase it's potency (that's why we've go tthe bomb danky dank out here). Furthermore there are a host of mary j products that are derived from mary j plants for increased potency like hash oil, the stuff they call "goo" that it like 90% thc etc etc. And cocain isn't natural, lol I mean coca leaves are but refined powdered cocain has most certainly been manipulated to increase it's potency.

I don't think i'm on board to legalize everything, even though i think it would probably do some good, but mary j is a no brainer. Call me in november when we legalize it here in CA.

Yeah, I guess a certain amount of manipulation is needed. I'm sure our snus is manipulated to some extent for the PH levels. The biggest thing I am against is meth labs. These low-lifes are cooking this nasty shit and leaving the left overs on the side of the road and even in playgrounds.

Ah-Ha! I forgot all about the legendary Maui-Waui

Maui-waui is weak compared to the new shit they have the the cannibis clubs around here. In the last like 5 years the level of crazy name brand pot types here has gotten crazy, it's an artform now. You used to be lucky to get your hands on some OG or purple Kush, but now for 25$ you can go pick up anything you want, indica, sativa, different variations of them mixed together with others to create hybrids etc. Definately some mad scientist botanists around here in the hills somewhere.

Wow! I'm really out of the loop! The only time I heard Maui-Waui was on Cheech & Chong.

Drugs will never be made legal, at least not in the United States.

Tell that to the voters in California. 49 % in favor of legalizing marijuana and 41 % opposed.
Pot will be legal in 5 months.

I can't imagine crack, coke, meth, and heroin, or lsd being legalized, but I can see mary jane being so. It's pretty widely used, is not considered a "hard drug", it's a simple plant. It would be good to legalize it.

If they are not all legalized the economy will self-destruct.
18,000 dead due to prohibition in Mexico.

Welfare recipients, and especially people in government housing and section 8 should be tested, and their homes randomly searched. I say this because there is a large drug and gun use in these places, and the goal should be to make them not want to live there forever, and while they are, to be fully legal.

Bullshit! I'll put my body on the line to oppose fascist testing!!!!!

Test all snusers and fire them!

The potency of marijuana has not increasing the the last 20 years.
There has been good stuff around since the 80's grown with halide
lights. Don't believe everything you read.

Remember the film Reefer Madness?

NonServiam,

You are an awesome member of law enforcement. I truly wish more members of the criminal justice system could see through the hypocrisy of the drug war like you do. And on top of that you were even against the idea of random home searches (even for welfare recipients this is not a move in the right direction). In a time when the police state grows larger and larger, hats off to people like you who have common sense and a basic understanding of an individual's rights. Kudos.

I will direct to my post about 5 above yours here, where I said:

"I don't think i'm on board to legalize everything, even though i think it would probably do some good, but mary j is a no brainer. Call me in november when we legalize it here in CA. "

In the post you quoted I was referring to the opium and cocaine trade in particular, not weed.

I'm from Santa Cruz, pretty close to humboldt which is the weed capitol of CA, and I have 2 friends that own cannibis clubs here and in several other states. I am very positive it's going to be legal this year

Thanks! I get a lot of ribbing from fellow officers for my views, but when the shit hits the fan they still got my back. I am not your typical cop that is for sure, especially here in Oklahoma. I didn't become a cop to ruin the futures of rebellious teens who are taking hits off a joint behind a movie theater. Although sometimes, throwing the book at some of these kids is what they need to save their future.

I didn't become a cop to push people around or to verbally degrade them just because I can. I became a cop to protect those who are truly innocent and to hold people accountable for their irresponsible and reckless actions. I try not to be a pawn for the government's self-serving policies. But, I am far from a renegade. I clock-in, do my job, and hopefully clock-out and return home. Always treating people with respect and professionalism...as long as they reciprocate. I think something else that drew me to law enforcement was my interest in human behavior, sociology, and psychology, not to mention the pretty flashing lights and sirens. C'mon you know you like the pretty red & blues too (as long as their not in your rear view mirror).

P.S. Don't misunderstand me. If I see some kids smoking weed behind a gas station I'm not gonna just give them a wave and buy them some Cheetos. They are definitely going to be having a conversation with me, and then with their parents. However, if they mistake my kindness for weakness, act like an ass, or I've warned them before, then in the backseat they go.

It is not really prohibition per se in Mexico right now, you can legally carry around crack, cocaine, opium, heroin, weed etc as long as it's in small quantities, however it's still illegal to seel at a business. But hey they're closer to the goal than we are!

What would be fascist is if they had random drug screenings for every citizen. What is not fascist is saying that if on welfare or unemployment you must be a) actively looking for work or persuing education, and b) pass routine drug tests.


People who think it's American to live off the government (taxpayers) money yet have no responsibility are the reason why we are bankrupt. It's somehow fascist to ask people to not spend our taxpayer money on drugs, go figure.

God, what planet are you on man for real. You are out of your freaking mind if you think the shit we have here nowadays is not more potent than 20 years ago. It's simple botany, they selectively grow and breed clones for their increased thc content and after many generations of doign that the seed produces a plant that has increased thc levels. Reefer madness, who the hell is talking about Reagan era government propaganda? I'm talking about how the weed we have now is superior to weed from 20 years ago, there is no way that selective breeding and increased methods of nutrient treatments etc over multiple generations would do ANYTHING other than produce more potency. It's not like it's a bad thing it's a good thing, embrace it.

Marijuana more potent than ever
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/boos...uana-more.html


Marijuana is more potent than at any time since scientific analysis of the drug began in the 1970s, according to a report from the University of Mississippi’s Potency Monitoring Project. The average amount of THC in marijuana, the primary psychoactive ingredient in the drug, was tested at 9.6% --more than double the potency of marijuana in 1983.
The highest concentration of THC found in a single sample was 37.2%.

I agree. It is the same concept as this: Your buddy is down on his luck, lost his job, and got some chick pregnant. Your buddy asks you for money on a monthly basis. You provide him with money for the purposes of food, clothing, and basic necessities until he can get back on his feet. However, your buddy continues to spend your charity on alcohol, cigarettes, and dope.

Lol, we must have the same friends.
