Clicky Poll: Reefer, Madness or Managable?Follow

My son went to court yesterday. One of the charges against him was possessing a useable amount of marijauna. He got a $300.00 fine.

This AM on NPR there was a story about the contradiction in state vs federal law in California. The reporters went to a marijauna distribution center. I think they tried out the martian green variety.

You've all heard the arguments for and against the legalization of Mary Ja Quana.

Now Vote:

For me, pot is legal. Yay!

Oopsy, fixied that.

I was originally gonna add seperate voting options for medicinal or not, but then...didnt. I guess I didn't because to me it seems silly to make it legal for medicinal use only. But that's interjecting a personal opinion into a highly scientific non-biased poll.

Sorry, my boss keeps coming to my desk today seeing how I'm doing getting HER work done that's on a deadline, and keeping me from making my points clear (clear in a relative sence),,,or refined, or even finished.

I, personally, don't think pot has much in the way of medicinal value was where that was going with that. I may be very wrong.

In hindsight, I should have indeed, added separate options to the poll, and I still could, but it would frick up the votes that have already been made.... maybe we can do it all again tomorrow.

..that and "Duck and Cover".

Well that's just it. Seems like it would be easier to control if it was legalized. If my kid had to show ID to buy his pot, he might have saved himself three hundred bucks and big ol mark on his permanent record (well depending on age...but I'm assuming 21).

Funny, I tried to make that same argument. I blame college...or a girl...or the internets.

Are you smoking this shit so's to escape from reality? Me, I don't need this shit. I am reality. There's the way it ought to be, and there's the way it is. Elias was full of shit. Elias was a crusader. Now, I got no fight... with any man who does what he's told. But when he don't, the machine breaks down. And when the machine breaks down, we break down. And I ain't gonna allow that... in any of you. Not one.

I blame shoddy parenting.

Pretty bold statement from an ignorant little bitch that doesn't know the first thing about parenting.

I was merely being facetious placing blame on extenuating circumstances. I've had my sleepless nights over this, but the bottum line is, under my watch he didn't do drugs. He left home an honor student who'd never seen one, even small, lick of trouble. He's an adult and knew full well the consequences. He's the only one to blame and has accepted that and paid his due.

Get a brain al katie.

Ok, I blame you. He used to read this forum, until he read some of your posts and...something happened. He just started wandering around aimlessly, mumbling things like 'make it stop'. So, I gave him pot and forced him to smoke it in order to try and ease the pain.

Kids will do whatever the hell they want to do once they leave home, regardless of parenting. Being a straight-edge honor student until that point is excellent work. The question remains, how is he living his life now that he's been exposed to the madness? Employed, socially conscious benefit to society? Homeless bum knifing old ladies in the park?

If it's just weed, then most likely by far the former.

Btw, what is a "useable amount" and where was this? I've never gotten more than a $50 fine for possession.
