He's in detox now 😞

I see you're from the States, but I'll give this information to the UK smokers out there. A police search is only merited under the PACE Act 1984. Stop and Search is covered under Code A. S. 1.3 of Code A allows a police officer with 'reasonable suspicion' to search for prohibited articles, and stolen and offensive weapons. Reasonable suspicion is nebulous ...[text shortened]... all you law abiding citizens out there, but you never know when it may come in handy 😀😉😀

I have a crazy suggestion: Maybe the police will leave you alone if you stop breaking the law.
Revolutionaries have broken laws since laws were invented to create a better world for themselves and their people. Would you say that they should always have bent to the will of the law?
From the United States Declaration of Independence -
"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

As far as I'm concerned you can abuse yourself as you see fit. However, if you then decide that you can get behind the wheel and drive around or work at a job that puts others at risk you deserve a kick in the nuts. If your pursuit of happiness directly or indirectly impinges upon my basic rights and freedoms, you should be held appropriately responsible. If by your deliberate drug abuse you end up in hospital with brain damage, liver failure, or a blood borne disease, I should not have to pay, in any way for your treatment/rehabilitation. I'd just as soon see them wheel you out and prop you up next to the dumpsters.

The laws that our society has developed only seem unjust because you don't agree with them. If you want change, become politically active. Sadly, its difficult to organize pot heads and nobody takes them very seriously when they do manage to form a collective.
Edit: By the way, you look like you might be undergoing chemo for ball cancer on your web page. I suspect its the drugs.

Originally posted by Hand of HecateIn case you missed it, I was not defending anyone driving under the influence of anything - earlier in the thread I posted something to that effect. I was only arguing a small side point - that just because there is a law, doesn't mean it's a just law. If anyone's pursuit of happiness does not impinge on another person's basic rights, freedoms, and more importantly safety, then there should be no law against it.

As to your point about the laws in your society upsetting me - they don't. I don't live there anymore. I don't smoke pot - but that's by my own choice, not because of the laws. Some pot-heads are organised though - there are political action groups like NORML who take action.
I am undergoing no such treatment - but you sound familiar with ball cancer. Since I don't take drugs it can't be that - I suspect it's heavy drinking and general slack attitude towards excercise over the last few years. I've seen pictures of you too, and you look like a short dude with a belly who lives in a shack in the woods - that must've made your treatment for ball cancer that much harder to deal with.

Originally posted by st00p1dfac3Actually, I'm very fat and this makes me look shorter than I am. I saddle up my donkey and meander into the big city every two or three weeks for ball cancer treatments.
