Ye gawds, you idiots never let go of bullshit one of you make up.
My apartment is a former motel, not a "Section 8."

 RS>> Have you ever had your home broken into?

 EH> I've had three different cars broke into.

And you didn't mind each time?

 RS>> Been mugged?

 EH> That has nothing to do with your little story here.

It has everything to do with it.
Pask mugged me.

 EH>>> So you claim.

 RS>> The cops told me he was.

 EH> They told you he assaulted you? Didn't you kmow before hand?

I didn't know who he was until hours later, when the cops told me they
had busted Pask for other muggings.

 RS>>>> Smoking pot in and of itself, is not dangerous.
 RS>>>> Pot that has PCP in it is.

 EH>>> Or wet.

Formaldehyde? Yeesh! Talk about playing Russian roulette with his
brains.

 RS>> No, congress has the authority to changge the laws.

 EH> You said the DEA did just above.

The DEA could ask. They won't.
They, and local law enforcement, likes all the $$$ they get from the
government and from seized property.

With pot, yes.
The price of pot would drop like a rock, drying up one source of income
for those Mexican gangs.

Altered pot has gone out of favor, among stoners.
Too many who liked altered pot ended up dead.

Do we criminalize booze any longer?
No, we tax the shit out of it.

Do we criminalize tobacco?
No, we tax the shit out of it.

Think about it.
