Marijuana isn't harmless!

Quote from CoolTraderDude:

"becoming nauseated upon smelling something that does not smell bad to neurotypical individuals;"

You got me here... I do feel like throwing up whenever I smell smoke or pot...

However, in my own defense you have to understand that in some cases it's all night with these clowns. It’s worse whenever they throw a party or a BBQ. It's a constant barrage of stench. I don’t see why I should be forced to live with the smell. Also, it happens to be illegal (pot that is).

Nevertheless, I’m surprised that people believe marijuana to be harmless. That is a bunch of baloney. You can’t possibly believe that inserting a foreign substance into your body through the process of smoking “leaves” is harmless!?? Marijuana does have side effects regardless of how much the pot culture tries to pretend that it doesn’t.

No one is disputing that forcing someone to inhale a carcinogen is wrong. But I am not quite sure how you go from that, to concluding that spraying bullets around in a family home where there is no violence or resitance to arrest, is anything other than horrifying abuse of power and gross negligence by law enforcement.

Focus on the issue at hand, not on some irrelevant trivial sideshow like whether 2nd hand smoke is wrong.
 
Quote from peilthetraveler:

Perhaps my words could've been better chosen. Maybe I should've just said book user. But you have to wonder where the line between subversion and reading is. If you see this video and you have children and family pets and you now know what cops are capable of, do you continue to read political books knowing this can happen to you? If you do, there are definately some subversive qualities when you put your happiness before the safety of your family.

Could have been written circa 1930s Germany about anyone reading political literature.

Can I ask, what is it about your set of beliefs where you see a bunch of armed men spray bullets around in a family home, near kids, during a non-violent situation, and your response is to try to criticize anyone but the people spraying those bullets? Why are you trying to defend the use of unnecessary and grossly disproportionate violence?

Your second response to the theoretical armed raid on a drinker, rather than an illegal pot smoker, is especially worrying. You consider a case where someone is exercising their right to engage in a totally legal activity, and your response to them being raided by armed men and shot at is that the guy following the law to the letter is the one in the wrong? What is wrong with you man? Why are you so cravenly biased towards authority rather than free law-abiding individuals? Why *should* someone have to change their behaviour because authority is in the wrong? Why shouldn't it be the authorities who have to change their wrong behaviour, not the guy doing what he is perfectly entitled to do, the guy whose taxes pay the wages of those in authority? The guy who, via the vote, IS the ultimate authority.
 
Quote from CoolTraderDude:

Actually, I do call the cops on someone if they're drinking excessively and they become a public nuisance. "Drunk and disorderly" happens to be a charge that the cops can lay on someone. I also call the cops on drunk drivers. I've been too close to getting into accidents with some people to ignore it. It's a public safety thing.

Damn... What an asshole... Did you start calling the cops when your mom wasn't available anymore ? Do you also call the SEC on every bad trade?Im' sure even the cops are making jokes about him.
 
Cops ABSOLUTELY DO choose what laws to enforce. Everything in law enforcement is subjective subject to the descretion of the officer.

Not everyone going 1mph over the speed limit gets a ticket.

Not everyone with .000001 grams of weed gets arrested.

And plenty of cops are involved in organized crime. Right now in Cape Coral, FL lots of cops are being charged and prosecuted for mortgage fraud including and especially the chief's son!

But you won't hear about it becuase they're bringing very light charges and making it all go away. The organized crime extends beyond the city police department and into the department of corrections, so far. No telling how far it will go. It's all being plea bargained to make it go away.

They had quite a scheme going.

Oh now you’ve done it…! Don’t you like law and order you filthy anarchist…? I really don’t feel like putting up with stupid potheads who feel like they should just do as they please. I don’t like their little pot parties, their noise and the clouds of smoke that I have to endure because of them. Ideally I’d like to kick the snot out of them but you see that happens to be illegal just like smoking pot. :eek: All these losers will start whining about a violent guy abusing their human rights and will start complaining about “assault and battery”. Oh and I’ve had both shouting matches and scuffles with my neighbors over the years which is why now I just call the cops. You know, so that I don’t get an “assault and battery charge”, like the cops warned me would happen. All you idiots like to bitch and complain about how oppressed you are blah, blah, blah… This is rather comical coming from a$$holes who have absolutely no respect for anyone else. A$$holes who have no manners to speak of… who are a complete and total public nuisance… etc… etc…. The list goes on… I don’t want anymore comments about “calling the cops on people” from you idiots. Shut up about it.
 
LOL! Here's the self proclaimed "Mr. Masculine and athletic" throwing a little temper tantrum like a 5 year old girl! LOL! He now calls the cops because he got his whiny tattle tale ass kicked by the neighbors one too many times when he was trying to tell them what to do. That's why he just calls the cops now. Too funny!

Seems like you can't just go around shouting freedom this and freedom that w/o qualifying just what it is you mean, since obviously it means different things to different people. There are alot of words like that; work, earn, socialism, freedom, bigotry. Everybodies for freedom for ideas they're for; thats easy. Pol Pot was for freedom for ideas he was for.
 
Marijauna is spectacular is what it is. I love coming home after a day at the office and pulling a few bowls of kind out of my bubbler. I am def a pothead and proud of it.

About the vid and article all I can say is its a total travesty. And i`m glad to live in NY where under an ounce has been decriminalized and garners a simple ticket. And thats in a state known for its draconian rockefeller drug laws. MI must stuck in the middle fucking ages...
