I just spent 4 hours at a fucking drug and alcohol class on my birthday because of that marijuana ticket. 75% of the class was about METH... Never done meth, never had the urge to do meth, never gonna do meth = Littleton (my city) can lick the crust off of my hairy asshole. FUCK THE COURTS!
They also spent about 15 minutes talking about marijuana and how it was a gateway drug (which it very well may be). But does that dignify the court the right to make it illegal? It is a gateway drug because people choose to make it so. That has nothing to do with the community, it has to do with people on a PERSONAL basis. Another reason they gave that marijuana is a bad thing is that it is addictive, both psychologicall y and physically (in my opinion and personal experiance, only psychologicall y.) Do you know what else is addictive? Caffeine. Hmmmm, maybe they should outlaw that as well.
Also, did you know you can get a DUI riding a bicycle, but not a fucking lawn mower? You can also get a DUI if you are passed out in the back seat of your car with the keys inside the car, not the ignition.
