WTF? All this over some pot? Legalize it. Alcohol does the same thing. This is a waste of taxpayer money.

They should legalize the stupid stuff already! Its no worse than beer and alcohol has destroyed more families and killed more folks than weed. While cops waste time busting a couple pot heads, HARDCORE drugs are being sold on the street
