You should contact News Channel 12 and tell them houw the police have not been taking it seriously. Maybe they will stand outside of the how and do a peice. I would also vidoe tape some transactions and send it to your local congressman.

Auto larceny is usually done by non violent criminals; perhaps we should make the sentence less than it already is (which is very little to no jail time throughout most of the country unless you get caught a number of times)? There are many other non-violent crimes as well. Just because something is not violent does not mean the person doing it is not a filth bag.

The MAJORITY (not all) of prisons are state run so I do not know where you are getting that corporations are making big money off of them from.
bah - I don't check here often enough. Marijuana is the line in the war on drugs... On one side is the "legal" cigarettes / alcohol and the other are the "other" popular narcotics. There are over 1 million non-violent drug offenders in prisons throughout the country.
  • Someone is arrested for a marijuana offense every 36 seconds.
  • 89% of these are for marijuana possession — not for sale or manufacture.
  • In the U.S., there are more arrests for marijuana possession each year than for all violent crimes combined.

There are a significant amount of private prisons and yes, they are traded on the stock market. They specialize in housing these types of offenders - the State runs all the max security prisons. But, we're talking about pot smokers here. If you don't want to buy into that as big business, how about the pharmaceutical companies? Which side do you think they stand on in this debate?

I'd go far enough to say that your typical recreational pot smoker shouldn't be jailed, but will settle for someone smoking for medical reasons. Either way, it's currently illegal... If you don't understand the difference or look down at other country's who operate very well with legalized marijuana, you're just simply being closed minded.

If ever given the opportunity, watch:
American Drug War: The Last White Hope (2007)

Our government wants to keep marijuana illegal, but for all the wrong reasons. Certainly not the reasons you think they do.

I sure wouldn't burn them out even though I love to burn things !
How about keeping low profile but videotape them and then blackmail the heck out of them. Then you'll have enough money to move to a better neighborhood.
If they are using a child to run the dope out to the customers, then video that and send it to the child welfare department. They could be dealing a smorgasbord of extremely dangerous drugs, not just weed.

LIMA will become famous soon enoughLIMA will become famous soon enough
I own my own business, I had a few users here and there and had 2 pot users that thought as some of you do...

One day the both of them were going on about some bs story in the paper as to legalizing it.

Then i got involved and had to hear all the BS about how pot is good, doesn't cause an issue for normal day life and or any harm to the person or there ability/abilities...

Lol so once again i allowed this test... told them go and do your supposed hit tomorrow, not in my place of business, but nearby so i can test and see if such BS is true... (Machinist work, some math and measurements required)

Well guess what happened....

Guess....

Neither one was in a ZONE, other then paranoid and mistake after mistake, broken tooling, was utterly sickening to watch the stupidity that was spewing from both of them.... (not to mention the broken bits that cost good money)
So after the test i found out that one of them has been doing such activities during lunch, since i seen the same behavior..
Shortly thereafter he was terminated.
The other started to follow the others lead and use during lunch, his behavior of breaking tooling and becoming considerably slower became very apparent and i remembered his actions on that test day....
Shortly thereafter he was terminated...
Hopefully neither of them is making anything else that is important...luckily for me i never allowed anyone to do finish work or god knows what might have left my business..

Many many Stupified people on this island think this way, let alone the rest of the retarded society...

As for the OP and the house....sometimes you have to do things yourself....

Sorry but I don't believe you at all. I worked as a tool maker for 10 years and have many machine tools for hobby purposes. I've seen drunks and potheads and tweekers come and go in the shops I worked in. The drunks are the worst. I don't buy the part about your test, you start that paragraph with "Lol once again I allowed this test" ! Letting someone who you know is high run your machines is very stupid. You allowed this twice ? Double stupid ! You then use a phrase like "since I seen the same behavior" and put between one and five periods after your sentences !
Sorry but I have a hard time believing any of your post.
You speak of stupified people and our retarded society and you knowingly allow stoned guys to work in your shop for an experiment ! How do you know if your experiment subjects only smoked pot ? They could have shot up heroin or smoked some ice or crack, did you watch them ? Why don't you drug test your employees ? It's cheaper than fixing crashed machines and buying new cutting tools
Thanks for the laugh !

Yes get the local TV station involved as well as the child protective services and don't have any confrontations with the perps. Stay low profile and let someone else get in their face, if you are doing the video taping and contacting the authorities then you need to protect your family against retaliation. That could involve moving.
