@randalbean, obviously Harvard professors don't even understand the Constitution, or at least respect it..ie Obama, SCJ kagan etc

While I was in undergraduate, and graduate school, at the university at Fayetteville, I majored in plant sciences, but I don't need to be a Harvard law school professor to be able to understand the U.S. Constitution. People can't tell just by looking at me, but I read, write and speak the english language very well.

@Average, I only have one degree but have held the same job for 9 yrs, in the private sector. You can continue to listen to the bs about how bad marijuana is but it's just bs...believe what you like.

wpsark: No, I'm not unedumacated, I have two college degrees and a good job how 'bout you? Small time dealer? Guess you wouldn't mind if he/she sold a bit of the weed to your kids huh? Or maybe to somebody who smoked a bong and plowed into a family member huh? Maybe if he stopped selling the trash he could drop one of the two jobs, finish school and get a real job. I don't know why I bother, anyone who starts off defending drug dealers is not worth my time. Just know this. I have two kids, pray that i don't catch anyone giving or selling to them. randalbean: Wow! Didn't know that we had a Supreme Court Justice in our midst. Put down the dooby and do spin us a yarn about how laws agains selling or possessing marijuana are unconstitutional. Puff Puff give.

@randalbean, I couldn't agree with you more..It's usually unedumacated and sheltered people who think like that. I'm all for making prisoners work in the fields and serve hard time but no one should have their freedom taken away over some ignorant law that is only in place for no reason other than special financial interests..To AverageArky, I know of a small time pot dealer who works two jobs and goes to college. Do you know what happens when you ASSume?

Dear AverageArky: You certainly seem average to me. Note also that the anti-marijuana laws are unconstitutional. We live in The United Police States of America. Here in my part of it, our main growth industry is the criminal justice system, our chief product is convicted felons, and our chief export is jobs.

Sounds like the possibility of jail time might be working..."That's the reason I stopped smuggling the stuff. Just to many stupid laws," said Butch54. Exile the ACLU. I'll pay higher taxes. Build bigger, cheaper prisons and make them work. Get them a rake and a hoe and work the cotton fields. Heck, you can feed a lot of bums in jail with the okra and squash they can grow. No tvs, phones... Good grief! Folks sell/make that crap because they don't want to work a real job. Just a good thing that the U.S. doesn't allow me to be King. There would be a bunch of criminals exiled or executed. Not released to do it again. This country is broken. Whew... I feel better.

And yet a man gets a 10 years sentence for his 10th DWI. How does that make any sense? The government collects revenue from licenses, permits and taxes of alcohol. But doesn't spend that money on the damages and deaths that result from consuming alcohol first. Then spends billions on enforcing prohibition policies. That is a direct conflict of interest.

That's the reason I stopped smuggling the stuff. Just to many stupid laws. Never been caught with that much though. I think they called it 50 to 100. Over 20,000 cash I couldn't give a reason to have. Oh well if I wanted to keep on smoking it there are states I could get a script. OH! Before some of you law dogs get an idea to investigate me the fed's had to let me off in 2004 on statue of limitations. Been straight since. Yes make it legal. Alcohol is legal and it kills over 200 times the people as pot.

give him the $4 mil fine and supervised probation..Don't waste jail space on a pot charge..legalize it already.
