A former military policeman, he’s now a member of a group called Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, or LEAP, a group of former cops, prosecutors and judges that supports ending the war on drugs.

I've heard of LEAP. Now, if Ron Paul's bill to legalize marijuana gets somewhere, that will be fine with me. But, I do not partake of it at all. ;)

I don't smoke marijuana. I don't smoke anything now having quit smoking cigarettes ±25 years ago. Having said that, it is none of my business if someone else smokes and that includes marijuana. Nor is it really any business of anyone in the government.

In principle I agree with your comment.

But within the medicinal cannabis community, in California and elsewhere, there is support building to boycott "cartel weed' entirely and only purchase domestic cannabis.

And I support this as well.

If a person peels back enough layers they'll find that the cartels and prohibitionists are on the same side.

When did it all go so wrong?

I remember a time in the early 70's when things began to open up and you could carry small amounts of marijuana, and smoke in public, and in most places police tolerated it. People almost believed it would be legal soon.

Now it can get you or at least your dogs shot, and police arn't police anymore, they are militarized thugs.

When did it go so wrong? How much farther will it go?

Reminds me of a story back in Chicago.

Once, a girl came to me and told me some guy tried to pick her up when she was walking down the street alone. She was with her girlfriend so I told them let's go and we jumped into my old Blazer and took off.

We spotted this guy a few blocks from the high school and I pulled a U-turn and got behind him. He pulled over and I got behind him. Before I could get out, he pulled out in front of oncoming traffic. I had to wait for a few cars to pass by and then got out in traffic.

I caught him at the gas station next to the Post Office. I got out and threatened him with a piece of top rail from a fence. His window was open part way. I was hitting the glass with the rail and it was vibrating back and forth. I told him if he messed with my girl again I would put six slugs in him. He protested that he was going to get gas. I told him, "Not here you're not." He took off and I put a dent in the rear quarter panel of his car. The two guys in the gas station didn't make a move. They just watched. The girls got his tag number and gave it to the school cop.

Turns out the clown lived right across the street from the school. So, the cops put a good looking blond lady cop out front. He came bopping out the door and saw her. He walked upt to her and said, "Hey, baby, want to go upstairs and smoke a joint?" That was all it took. They busted him and went upstairs and found weed. When I found out, I told a few guys to grab some ball bats. We piled into the Blazer and took off.

I drove over to the school and spotted the car and pointed it out. Then, I drove around the block and the guys jumped out and took out all of the windows. Then, they ran down the street and jumped back into the Blazer. We were gone.

A few weeks later I spotted this idiot again, and he was up to his old tricks. When he pulled over, I had a young lady with me and told her to get down. I pulled up alongside of him and said, "I see you're still up to your old tricks." He was like, "Hey!", and I was outta there.

A little vigilante justice never hurt anyone. ROTFLMAO!

Concentration camps, killing fields, disappearing and gas chambers.

The "concentration camps" in Germany were "work camps", specifically for enemies of the state. They were called "death camps" because of Typhus epidemics which was carried by fleas. The Nazis asked the allies to sell them DDT and they were refused. The Germans used whatever they had available, I believe it was Xyklon-B which they used.

In Cambodia, the death fields were real. The Khmer Rouge rounded up people and slaughtered them by the hundreds and thousands.

Just about out of time. Have to go home and eat.
