Busted

Today I found out the my 16 year old nephew was hanging around a bunch of kids at school yesterday and somebody thought they were dealing drugs. They got hauled into the office and searched, nothing was found. However they called all the parents. When he got home with his father, his father tore the room apart and found some weed. Oops, not good. He does very well in school. He is a junior and has made the deans list every semester but one and he wants to be an engineer. I am not one to preach so much, and he knows I smoked in high school. It is not a family secret. However I told him that things are not the same as when I was in school and if he gets busted things will be much different for him. Being 16 he of course has no clue about this and I explained this too him. Hopefully he understand and is not giving me lip service. However being 16 I am sure he does not really want to listen to any adult.

Weed love it.

Wow, so Barney Frank wants pot to be legalized. I say pass the bong, roll a joint and smoke out.
It is about time someone in his position put a bill forward to get this rolling along. Of course it will not pass but it is a start. We waste some much money and prison space putting pot smokers away. A large percentage of police would be more than happy to not to have to bother with pot.
I know I work with them everyday and many are sick and tired of it. The other cops are quite adamantly opposed to any legalization. If we legalized then we would have more prison space for violent criminals.

Really it is about time we dealt with this issue. We have wasted so much money on this subject. The governments position and statements about pot have never made any logical sense.

Puff puss pass and don't bogart that joint my friend.
