other than one being legal, what the difference between pot and alcohol? both are intoxicants but one is just more accepted than the other.

not everyone believes the anti-drug propaganda put out by the government.

No, but people that drink socially are typically normal people that can hold a job. Most of the people that smoke pot are loosers that can't hold a job and are a bunch of whiney bitches.

Seems like a waste of resources for such a small quantity. No need for a jury trial, just have the judge give a few days of community service.

During the recess, Paul and defense attorney Martin Elison worked out a plea agreement.

Seriously? Dude's lawyer just witnessed that people do not want to convict and he still copped to a plea? :confused: That better have a rockin' plea deal...like knocked down to a parking ticket.

I'd guess if he held out another day the case probably would have been dropped.

Obvious troll is obvious. The stereotypical alcoholic can't hold a job and just sleeps in the gutter all day, begging for change so he can buy some more drinks.

See what I did there?

Most of the people that I know who casually smokey pot are the career types who have held jobs for 20+ years in professional positions...

I don't see any difference between somebody who has a few drinks on new years or smokes a bowl on the fourth of july....

The difference is that one group got really violent when they tried to take away their right to use the substance, while the other group was too mellow and relaxed to do anything about it. In the end the only reason they banned weed ended up being because of the cotton farmers not wanting to compete against hemp and rich white folks needing a way to keep down the mexicans who worked on their farms for ultra low wages.

Yeah and I don't see what's wrong with snorting a line of coke off a hookers ass on new years either!

1/16 oz is a felony in MT, a ticket in CA and no crime in AK.

I applaud the jury.

1/16th of an ounce = 1 beer

you are basically giving the guy a felony trial over 1 beer.

A Catholic country that, prior to the Anglican Church, succession without a proper heir was beholden to the cardinal, or the Pope.

Agreed, as long as the hooker treated like a human being and not treated like a slave by some asshole pimp. IE, if she's self employed, or in a union that actually protects the workers...
