Could be! LOL
I don't.
Cept for this one time...ole Herman Pembacher was milking Nummie Frey's prize Holstein.. Bridgette..or was Bridgette his wife?
Kinda hard to tell sometimes after a long winter...
Anyway..I'm pretty sure.. somebody got shot...not really sure why though..come to think on it..
Smokin' Carp is work...thats for sure...hard to keep em lit.
Read every word of this story and before my children were born, it could have been me to some degree. Especially the stupid parts. Didn't do pot when my kids were young but did again when they got older. When the granddaughter came I wanted clear senses at all times for this beautiful gift I had been given. Barely made it through the 70's alive and now live the life of a grandpa with an unceasing sense of profound gratitude for every moment.
I've heard songs about the practice before, was it by the Carp'enters?
My grandchildren fill me with a joyful stupor each and every day. I smile just thinking about them.
I hate to offend the stoners and Libertarians, but I find it alarming that so many glibly talk about their present or past drug use. Ben Stein just did in a recent column in American Spectator. I like his writing a lot, but that disturbed me. It is another message of, "You can be a wild druggie in your youth and be famous in middle age." Some people don't make it to middle age, or they spent it in a trailer park or prison.
Yoicks. One of my best friends from highschool lives in Coeur D'Alene.
Nate pleaded guilty to five of the fifty-nine counts against him and received a twelve-year sentence; ten years of the sentence is a mandatory minimum and not subject to parole. Giovanni Mendiola, by contrast, pleaded guilty to the murder of Brendan Butler and received a life sentence with a possibility of parole in eight years.
Oh, yah, that makes sense. Send the murderer to jail for eight years and the kid pushing marijuana to jail for ten...
Ahhh, the truth at last : ) You equate someone taking a toke after work with them murdering their mothers.
So from where I stand in comparison to your drug usage, you should be locked up, with a sentence equivalent to murder? I think the only drug I do is caffeine, and infrequently at that, (chocolates).
Do you believe that all laws should be enforced equally? Do you believe that all laws are correct?
What to do with people who don't get born with a whole lot of common sense? Some think that as long as they claim to be responsible for themselves that it's OK to do ANYTHING they want to.
That isn't responsible behavior, that is irresponsible behavior that is anarchy-like at times.
Just another modern day story of how keeping marijuana illegal allowed someone to build their own crime empire.
Right--and that explains why we never hear of alcohol related crime and violence.
>>>"Pretty much nails it"<<<
Thank you, wasn't difficult at all.
If that really were the case, you and your buddies wouldn't have to keep repeating the same slogan over and over again.
What's so funny about that, Mr. Cikutovich?
You certainly don't hear about the gigantic crime empires built by people dealing alcohol. You certainly don't hear about the local alcohol dealer getting shot on a deal gone bad.
Yes, you hear about people doing stupid things because they are drunk, but I imagine that during Prohibition that alcohol related crimes still happened, because people were still able to get their booze. Right now, most people who would like to smoke weed can get a hold of it, and how many marijuana-related crimes do you hear of? The only thing marijuana makes you want to attack is a bag of Doritos.
And to tell you for the 10,000th time... had there been no ban on weed, Nate's little pot empire would have about as much a chance of starting as an acorn empire. The bucks and the prohibition is what drives it.
Because a pot dealer was killed he gets credit to his time.
Those creeps don't deserve much sympathy IMO.
I dunno. I have mixed emotions when it comes to marijuana. I think alcohol is just as much a gateway drug as marijuana is, and it seems that making marijuana illegal while alcohol is legal is vaguely hypocritical. I've never done marijuana (for that matter, I've never been drunk), but I've known people who were pot heads in high school and/or college who quit just as I've known people who were idiots about alcohol in high school and/or college and quit. Both alcohol and marijuana are ugly drugs, but that it's illegal to sell marijuana and legal to sell alcohol just doesn't make sense to me.
I don't really get the appeal of either, but I don't understand why marijuana is So Bad is has to be illegal, while alcohol is "okay."
