Boyco​tt Kello​gg'​s For Treat​ment Of Micha​el Phelp​s

Hitting the bong isn't a bad thing.

I remember a conversation I had with a few police friends of mine several years ago and one of them said something that stays with me to this day.

"I've never been called to a residence for a domestic disturbance as a result of buddy beating up on his wife because he was high on weed. It's alcohol that keeps me employed."

I remember back in the mid 90's I went to our stadium in Pittsburgh to see Pink Floyd in concert. The local police set up a sting operation inside the stadium where they just picked people up and took them in for smoking pot. They even set up a makeshift court so they could sentence and fine people right there during the fucking concert.

What gets me is that nobody was hurting anyone, nobody was doing anything wrong (other than the illegal act of toking up, I guess) and everyone was just mellow and having a good time and so many people got hassled by the cops and had to pay all these fines. But then the next week there was a football game there, and there were fights and people were breaking shit and being all rowdy. Underage drinking in the parking lot tailgate parties and all that. But the cops were nowhere in sight and the city just said it was good old team spirit.

And people wonder why I hate football.

The only thing with weed is that people should not drive while stoned. Other than that I don't see it as being any worse than alcohol or cigarettes, but a lot of stoners I know swear up and down that they can drive just fine when stoned, but I've ridden with 'em and it was almost as bad as riding with a drunk.

Legalize it, tax it, regulate it, and give people DUI's for driving stoned.

(and I'm going to open a bakery next to the first real 'smoke shop' that opens in my town...I'm gonna be the muthafuckin' Brownie King!)

I agree with you 110%. I'm not a stoner. I'm much more fun after a few cocktails. The few times I have smoked I end up staring at the carpet all night, no fun at all. But, having said that, I do think it should be legalized, I agree that people should not drive stoned and I would be the first in line to your bakery simply because I loooove brownies.

My brother says similar...that the booze keeps him employed (and the hardcore drugs).
