The biggest pot head I knew was a DEA agent, followed by a border patrol officer then college students. I’m voting to pass prop 205 in Arizona and if you are also an AZ citizen I urge you to do likewise!!
Look at who is against legalization: Mexican drug lords and US law enforcement.
Ask yourselves why!! For the answer: Follow the money!
Then ask yourself: who on the law enforcement side benefits from the current illegality? That answer is the Private prison industry and the Joe Schmoe who shouldn’t ever be a cop, but who needs a job and fills an otherwise unnecessary position at the taxpayer’s expense. My state has a backwards-assed flat tax percentage hat is tied to the federal tax they pay. Warren Buffet tells the truth that he pays a smaller percentage than his secretary, so it ain’t the rich who are funding th oppressors as much as Jane Q Paycheck. You can’t hide your income like the well-to-do can, when someone else writes you a paycheck!
If cops didn’t “have to” arrest a pot smoker every 25 seconds, would we need so many? And if we didn’t need as many cops, how many more black lives would have been saved by raising police hiring standards. The only other Offense (vs Defense which has been worn down from being on the field too long) is to get yourself onto a grand jury and vote not to indict!
