Weed pipes

Idahobound

Stopped in a 7-11 in some small Colorado town to get a sulrupy as I walked out I noticed 2 pipes sitting on the front seat of the car parked next to me. I just feels strange to me.

Ohio is in the early stages of trying . They just got enough signature's and approval to put on the ballot in November
40 years ago when I was 18 - 19 years old "head shops" were popular all the pipes and papers and related material , I remember going in a few , and also back then wondering why don't they legalize weed [:D]
now 40 years later its coming to be ,
times have changed public view and tax dollars to be had I think drive it,
On a personal side its also been 40 years since I experienced the effects . if they legalized it now I know I will not be one of the purchaser's , but 40 years ago it would have been a different story [:p][:p][:D][:D][:0][:0][:0]

I need to add my brother ( who is pretty far into it [:(]) and one of my sister's have cancer and there doctors told them if they make it legal they will help them get it , as it does help with the pain

I wish they would legalize it in North Carolina. If they did, I would grow 7 plants in my garden. As Ringo Starr said, "I don't smoke it no more..."

Just would like to have a few plants in my garden.
Not likely, in my lifetime. If I did that today, my log cabin and the 39 acres would be confiscated by the State.
Even if you disagree with pot legalization, you would probably agree that confiscation of my property would be a little extreme for growing a few pot plants.

Ga has a senator trying to get it on the next ballot for the people to vote since we can't do petitions like other states. Which blows. So it's either this or wait for our senate to pass it which isn't likely. So hopefully it gets on the ballot so the people can vote for it. It's time to make it legal. Long over do.

The company I work for has a plant in Colorado. When they legalized weed there about half the guys here in Houston wanted to transfer to the Colorado plant. Then they found out that just because it's legal to smoke doesn't mean the company still can't boot you out for failing a drug test. Smoking "devices" can get you a night in jail here in Texas.

Like G-A-Y marriage it is a matter of time before it will be legal nationwide. Liberals have become experts in incrementalism.

Legal or not, I go to Colorado frequently (was there Thursday), I will not take a cab downtown. I walked out of a building to catch a cab to the airport last summer and the 3 cabs waiting outside the hotel were all being manned by drivers standing around passing a joint - which I understand is illegal. Took the trolley down toward the ballpark and I swear that nice little outside mall area down 16th street was like a head shop. But I guess, like electing obama [xx(], that's what the majority of the voters put in place....

This country is going to pot.

We all know the war on drugs is a colossal flop. The war, more than any other single factor, has helped create the Police state we live in.

Government had no real reason to ban weed, it was a people control expansion of government. Just like other products that are legal today I choose not to smoke weed but really don't care if someone wants to toke a Doobie. Have at it, enjoy.

Puff, puff, pass.

we have had pipe stores here since I was a kid. Go to any spencer's store and buy one in any mall.

I know a used car dealer, who sold a vehicle, the buyer came back with a problem. He loaned him a car, with his dealer tag, while he made the needed repair. The guy was dealing MJ and got caught in the loaned car. It was confiscated, and the car dealer's home was raided at 3 in the morning. Of course they didn't find anything so they couldn't confiscate his property. If they had, he probably would have lost his home and business.
But they kept his car, and sold it.
Now I was an LEO for 30 years, although I had some contact with illegal drugs it was not within my usual duties. When the confiscation due to unpaid taxes on drugs law was passed it became a gold mine for agencies. Even though it had become difficult to convict drug dealers and put them away most of the time, now you could take anything they owned and the dept. would receive a large percentage of the proceeds.
My dept. was able to purchase new weapons and equipment from just one drug bust for the whole dept.
But I think sometimes it has been unfair, and the main goal of some has become confiscate as much as possible for funding. I doubt it has had a big effect as drug dealers seem to keep making billions and there is always another to take the place of one who goes down.
It just may be more profitable to legalize and tax, than to spend so much trying to catch and confiscate. [}:)]
