One mans “dope” is another mans medicine. Why do you think they call it dope? Because they’re biased…
We all produce dope, it’s why we have the THC receptors. How about you go put yourself in jail for producing it’s own “dope”?
You writers kill me.
@SUCKS-we were sure hoping you had left like you said you were doing. Just like a dopper, lies and stealing all the time.
I’m Republican and I voted for you, Peter. If you believe in your cause, don’t give up.
It’s time to end prohibition on all drugs. Regulate the sale and use of them, and treat addicts like medical / mental patients rather than criminals. Prohibition / mass incarceration has failed. Drug dealers don’t care if they’re selling to children.
@Leaving-I don’t deny what you say is true. But, it is still the law and anyone who breaks the law and gets caught will pay a penalty. Work to get the law changed instead of complain it about it here. Write you lawmakers and see if they will work to change it. If that doesn’t work try to get lawmakers elected that see things the same way you do. Meanwhile, it is still the law and the police will enforce it. There is to much money in it not to. That is one of the big reasons I don’t think you will get it changed unless they can tax the hell out of it to make up for what will be lost. I do agree it is ruining people’s lives. But, in the end, People are responsible for their own decisions.
LVS my weathered friend, what you don’t acknowledge or realize is that when unjust laws are in place, civil disobedience is sometimes the only option until which time lawmakers understand their attempts are futile. Does prohibition of alcohol ring a bell? How about the Jim Crow Laws? Get off your high horse. We see from non-enforcement of Iowa Muffler Law that police themselves are prejudiced on which laws they will enforce and which laws they won’t. It’s dangerous waters the police are treading into, and they are tinkering with our delicate fabric of order versus disorder, rule of law or anarchy when they chose to forsake one law over another. Generally I agree with you, and I wish the process was fair, balanced and provided a mechanism for truth telling…but it does not. It is corrupt and so at the point it has become corrupt, the people are justified in disobeying those laws which are in fact corrupt and unjust. It is a violation of libertarian freedoms for a government to tell its citizens what it can or cannot put in their own bodies.
The burden is on the government, not the people. We will overcome these stormtroopers of death and injustice.
Another winner. They never learn do they??
“THEY” never learn? Who? The authorities or the humans who obviously have a penchant for use. If a rule is fundamentally wrong to begin with, you will see repeat “offenses” to that law.
It is still against the law. If they break the law for this they will also cheat, steal and break any other law that does not suit them. If you don’t like the law, change it. Otherwise shut up about it because you are in the minority. Didn’t you learn anything in the election?? What kind of a council person would back law breakers?? No wonder you didn’t get elected.
The Clear Lake candidate didn’t get elected because only 20% of the total registered voters showed up at the polls, and the same 1000 people who vote red tie Republican election after election in Clear Lake came out to swamp him. If that nice young fellows ideas were to be put in place…namely direct democracy…the truth of what the population wanted could have more readily been registered. 20% of the population does not make for much of a mandate…and out of those thousand people cut another 17% out of that who voted for that nice young man versus the curmudgeon.
Stop making excuses Peter, you lost big time and you promised you would leave. Voter turn out had nothing to do with it, you buried yourself with your comments. Please be gone, give us a shout when you find your new place to live.
@John-It’s a good thing Peter isn’t bitter isn’t it? He just can not get it through his head that the reason he lost was he just can’t get off the loud muffler thing. While it was important to him, it was not to the majority of the people and he continued to harp on it until he turned people off. He continues to beat the same dead horse. I guess he has never learned to pull back and wait for a better time.
Exactly. Peter got steamrolled and no it wasn’t fair. Now the Lake will be louder than ever.
