the more i think about it, the more i realize that the government really isnt that strict about MJ use.. like i mean, they really crack down on traffiking and huge grows.. but it seems like they dont really care too much about personal use.. atleast where im at...
usually cops just take ur weed.. sometimes they even write a citation but thats all ive ever gotten

They bust growers in CA who are legally allowed to grow by the state - I'd say that's pretty hard on pot.

Once, men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.

Eh its a 100 dollar fine here. Last year I grew weed literally like a block from the police station. Smelled like weed in a huge radius around the apartment, I was just so whacked on shit that I found it reasonable. Im sure they knew and just didnt care.

Not at the local level, I've found. As long as you otherwise behave yourself, they'll let you be.

Exactly. Don't worry about it, but don't get too damn comfortable either. Especially if it's right around the end of the month....

Man, you can't get any kind of decent job without taking a fucking piss test and then they fucking jam one on you if you need worker's comp. They piss test kids who wanna play football and shit. And if you get busted for weed there's all kinds of jobs you can't do ever again. America is totally fucking cuntish about weed. And in some areas people have received 20 plus years just for having marijuana with intent to sell.
They will destroy your entire life for having a harmless plant that's actually good for you if you smoke it. The laws are fucking stupid as shit, strict as hell and totally goddamn insane. Fucking legalize for fuck's sake. Christ.

I like the idea of everyone who get's high applying for as many jobs as they can that require piss tests..
Then they can go take and flunk the tests on purpose, costing that employer money for being drug testing assholes!

my brothers a cop. And around here.. (in California) there are quite a few cops who smoke. But as I was saying.. my brother was telling me weed is the least of most police officers concerns. They even let people go WITH the weed still with them. Tho they do reserve the right to bust your ass if your a giving them an attitude (or if they're having a bad day. )

Here if you have any weed(scraps to 3 grams) at all its usually its a minimum of 1 day in jail, loose your license for max 90 days, bout $1500 in fines, then you have to go for a drug evaluation($100) ... i'm sure theres more with that.. If you have more then an 8th everything skyrockets

How can they Bust, and punish by law people growing in CA, when it's legal in that state? It would seem there would be conflict or debates about it. Isn't it already legal in like 5-6 states? Who thinks it will ever be legal U.S.A wide?

I have no idea how we can possibly round up all the televisions and destroy them though. It's a real pickle.

You don't have to destroy the TVs. You have to destroy the signal being broadcast to the TVs.

I wouldn't say that it is the drug war itself that is a hoax but rather that the stage on which the war is displayed on is the real lie.
Given the fact that there are real victims of the drug hunt, i do not quite understand why you say that it never really existed.

Damn, you're correct. It's like the Running Man movie. We have to knock out the signal and broadcast the truth. 
Actually I wouldn't broadcast anything to replace it. I'd let everything de-centralize and everyone drift off into tribes.

just saw on the news they busted two grow houses in port st. lucie (florida). they showed a nice stack a bud and it was practically glittering from all the trichomes. I nearly cried, knowing it was all soon to be burnt to shit by some fucking swine cops. they said the houses were being run by cubans, who were all going to be deported. I didn't think cubans ever grew good weed. not in my experience anyway.

It's a rather deep way of looking at it, I know. I'm not discounting the victims of the insanity. I'm merely stressing that it is just that, insanity. dress it up with a fancy name "drug war", and a noble sounding purpose, but insanity is all it will ever be.
There is no actual "drug war", just lies, violence, hypocracy, and oppression, and people padding their pockets off of other people's misery.

Probably also said they found 20 pounds, which is about 35 million dollars on the streets. Fucking stupid media and lying cops.

I see your point now and couldn't agree with you more. It is pure madness. Unfortunatly insane ideas and fear mix together very well and can easily be sold to a fearful population.
What "We the people" must do is develop courage, otherwise this insanity will never end.

Yes. If they caught me smoking marijuana in my home some how they would incarcerate me.
They would imprison me for relaxing in my own home, on my own time.
Yup.

Ask the seven hundred thousand americans who get charged with possesion each year.
"Police make about 700, 000 arrests per year for marijuana offenses —roughly 87% of those are for nothing more than possession of small amounts."

Totally depends uopn which town you live in, the mj rules of your town (and state)... which cop sees you, and what kind of mood they're in, when they see you. Once you break a Federal law, and you're caught... you're pretty much fucked no matter what the State laws are.
You've been incredibly lucky. Don't mistake that luck for law... or you'll see the dark side of a jail cell before you know it.

i was looking at the state by state marijuana laws on norml, and i was very surprised to see how many states have decrimalized it. i'm very impressed, and it's probably only going to get more lax as time passes.

Apparently Marc Emery did something about it and got it reduced to one year.

I was jailed when I was 19 (before I became successful) because I could not pay a speeding ticket. I simply didn't have the money. Goooooooooooooo Utah!
Well off topic, sorry.

That's on topic, It shows how dumb laws can be.
They used to lock people up here for not paying fines, now they just suspend your drivers lisence until you pay up.

I'm sure someone else has said it already, but the federal government is very irrational and intolerant about marijuana. Certain states are more sensible about it(my home state being one of them), but the feds are always fucking with them.

Man you think thats bad? In the UK cause our drug laws are failing so pitifully they're introducing harsher punishments.
I read in the daily mail (ok so not the most reliable of new sources) that new laws could mean up to 14 years for the possession of 5 pills or 10 joints worth, or 2g or heroin / coke.
I'd hate to think what would happen to someone with a quite large grow op =/

From what it sounds like, there are a number of places in the states where weed use isnt that 'cracked down on', but i've also heard horror stories of other people being tossed into jail for having a joint on hand.
