There never was a war on drugs, just a war on people who use drugs.

Marijuana makes you a moron, makes you just plain stupid.

I've never met a scientist, doped out of his head, who made a significant breakthrough in anything.

An argument is said that it's no worse than alcohol. Well, I've never used an amount of alcohol that made me stupid (I don't get roaring drunk), but even the minimalist use of Marijauna will make the user an idiot.

Yeah, yeah, there are those who use it for "medicinal" purposes, that's just an excuse. It still makes you addle-brained

Smoke in private and the law against mary jane will be irrelevant

no one gets arrested in san francisco because the cops there don't give a shit

[nocjays]

Typical liberal propaganda crap. They complain that people are being arrested for breaking a law that they don't like. It's the LAW. Don't break the law and you have nothing to worry about.

Worse, they harp on the fact that blacks and hispanics are arrested in larger proportions than their population . But they don't tell you that they are charged with marijuana possession mainly after being arrested for other crimes and blacks and hispanics COMMIT crimes in FAR greater numbers than whites

Generally whites are not stopped as "suspects" for crimes that exist or not. I've been stopped in several cities while hanging out with people of color, and in all of the cases, "we" fit the description of people that were being sought by police... although prior to release, no officer could tell us what the description was that "we" fit. It has never happened when I have been alone or with my white friends. I also have had friends tell me when they were stopped, they were regularly searched.
