I don't even like weed, but I'm right with you. These kind of things should not be "crimes" in the first place and certainly not a felony.

Yeah I don't partake at all, and used to feel really hardline about it being a crime, but nowadays I'm like "whatever, the war on drugs is classist and racist and this is all stupid."

I've never been hardline about it. I think it should be legal, because it's not a big deal. It is federally listed as a schedule 1 drug along with heroin. It is not that. Anyone who is of age should be able to partake if they enjoy it. I just personally don't enjoy it.
 
Is anyone else secretly disappointed it wasn't a picture of Bo Outlaw?

I just can't believe in 2016, weed is something that can get you an indictment in federal court. I'm not someone who has or does smoke pot, but I know people who do. And at worse, they're just pot happy.

I'd rather deal with someone who is high on pot than someone who is drunk (tho neither are my ideal situation).

Geez! He had more than a half pound of the shit on him. Can't smoke that much, he must be selling it now.

Sheriff was quoted as saying "Shame shame shame, most people don't know your name"
 
I've heard that Outlaw gave the arresting officers his basketball trading card as ID. The sheriff then said, "This would work for you if you were more famous. Maybe someone like the guy who played Chachi or that guy from Bones. They could get away with this, but I don't know who you are".

The only problem with this is Outlaw's father was at one time the sheriff of the county Outlaw lives in. They know who he is.

Yeah. I bet his dad isn't the happiest person on the planet right now. He just wishes his son could be more famous than Eric Milligan.

Had an acquaintance who worked with Rodney Dangerfield. She said Rodney would roll up a joint in any airport terminal and puff away. When she asked if he was worried about being arrested, he said no, because, "who in the hell is going to arrest Rodney Dangerfield?!"

Comedians come and go but he's one I truly miss.
 
For all you saying it's stupid, or shouldn't be a crime, does that mean I can go 75 in a 55 and shouldn't get a ticket? The speed limit is stupid. Still the law though

How does that equate?

Apples to oranges

Your increased risk of an accident at 75 vs 55 is substantial depending on the traffic, time of day, etc. Smoking a joint vs not, is not the same type of risk to others OR yourself. Smoking two joints instead of one a day does not increase the chances or risk of something happening to you or others.

Come on. Use logic when debating. :) or at least something with validity that makes sense. :)

Why are you adding the "depending on the traffic, time of day etc..." to one argument but not the other?

Smoking a joint or two while operating heavy machinery could be just as dangerous or worse than driving 75 depending on conditions.

I think what MM is trying to say is that the way you declare some laws more important than others - is by voting to change the ones that do not make sense. Until this vote happens - choosing arbitrarily what law to obey and what not can get very murky very quickly...

But As far as I know, No state has said its legal to operate machinery, so I didn't bring it up. The moment it is legal like smoking cigs, then there is a bigger problem. Until then the law says you must smoke in private. Hence, the working heavy machinery is illegal.

Because no matter the variable, smoking pot is only legal in private. Hence it doesn't have variables that may affect others like driving fast than what is deemed safe.

Now I didn't get it, but if MM meant, why does a state legislate one way when the federal government can overrule and legislate the opposite... well that's worth another topic of discussion all together.
