I rear ended a car a few days ago.......
The driver got out of the other car, and he was a DWARF!!
He was pissed! He looked up at me and said "I am NOT happy!"
I asked , " Then which one ARE you?"
Last year, nearly three quarters of a million Americans were arrested for marijuana offenses, 87% for simple possession. The overwhelming majority of these individuals were otherwise law abiding citizens who work hard, raise families, pay taxes and contribute to their communities.
While society has a self-evident interest to discourage abuse, what is the rationale for punishing a responsible adult using marijuana in the privacy of his or her home?

Dear Pot Head,
The money and time spent on legal issues dealing with marijuana in our present day court system is staggering. There's already about 1.5 million people tax payers are paying to keep in jail over drugs. From 1990 to 2003, nearly 5.9 million people had been arrested for smoking marijuana. That's a greater number than the entire population of Alaska, Delaware, The District of Columbia, Montana, North and South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming combined. The amount to keep each individual person in jail can range from 100 to 1000 dollars a day depending on the facility. We need only look to lobbyist and politician that get their pockets lined from the big tobacco and liquor companies, both of which account for FAR more destruction that pot could ever dream. On top of that, pot can be extremely useful in other areas where the aforementioned cannot. Now that we've got that out of the way, why are you such a loser? It's illegal, stop doing it, the high is not that great, and it's not going to get you laid. Grow up and get a job.
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - A 21-year-old man got the ride of a lifetime when his electric wheelchair became lodged in the grille of a semitrailer and was pushed down a highway for several miles at about 50 mph. Ben Carpenter was unharmed but was taken to a hospital as a precaution. He had been secured to his wheelchair by a seat belt. Carpenter, who has muscular dystrophy, told a television station that he thought he might not make it through the ride. "I was probably thinking that this is going to keep going and not stop anywhere, 50 or 60 miles somewhere," he told WOOD-TV of Grand Rapids. Ben Carpenter's father, Donald, told The Associated Press that his son had started to cross at an intersection Wednesday afternoon in Paw Paw, about 140 miles west of Detroit. The light changed to green while his son was in front of a semi, which started moving. The wheelchair's handles became lodged in the grille, the father said, and the wild ride started. Motorists called 911 on their cell phones, and a pair of undercover police officers who happened to be nearby saw what was happening. They pulled the truck over and told the disbelieving driver, Donald Carpenter said. The chair was undamaged except for losing most of the rubber on its wheels, he said. "It's a very bad story that ended very well," he said. "We're just thrilled that he's still around."
