All druggies are a waste of air, not just Chong.

Being in prison, they may get the chance to dry out if they are lucky. Many on pot mix it with other stuff as well, so it could dry them out from even harsher drugs.

Fixed that for you, you're welcome.

And I notice you didn't give the basis for your assertion that:"Chong would probably died already without law enforcement intervention. " In other words, you do follow the standard drug warrior tactic of "argument by making crap up." And you didn't respond to the question of exactly what Tommy Chong did that he should have gone to Federal prison for.

And, if you pretend to be a conservative, do you believe that the Federal government should be limited in its authority and powers to those enumerated in the Constitution?

If so, please point out the article giving the Federal government the power to fight a "War on Drugs," and arrest people for possessing and selling drugs and "paraphernalia?" If the government has no such Constitutionally authorized power, doesn't that make the DEA and other "drug warriors" equivalent to any other criminal gang, and shouldn't they be the ones arrested and imprisoned?

What I don't understand is who made you and the government the supreme moral authority? Why is it any of your business what the hell Chong or the big bad pot smokers do with their lives? Hell why don't we just start enforcing capital punishment for everyone who waste their lives away according to your moral authority?

 

The friggin jails are bustin' out at the seams because we are imprisoning people for smoking an herb. I can't stand the stuff myself, but I can put away Johnny Walker with the best of them. I fail to see how you can stick with the argument about how dangerous "weed" is, yet drunk drivers are responsible for killing thousands every year. I have yet to hear of a fatality attributed solely to the driver being high on weed. I am quite certain there must be some, but the numbers are miniscule by comparison.

 

You do realize real criminals are getting out early and paroled now for crimes that should have locked them up for the rest of their lives solely because we have to make room for all of these dangerous guys like Chong, selling bongs on the internet. I don't know about you, but I would much rather see a child molester stay the hell in jail rather than give him a few months or years off for good behavior so we can jail the punk next door for having a pound of some foul smelling plant.

 

Every time I have seen this subject come up for discussion with the voters the majority seem to want to decriminalize it. If we had a few politicians who actually listened to the people, it would be just as legal as alcohol and the country would be better off for it. We are wasting untold resources on this when we should be after the more dangerous narcotics that plague our society.
