the reason why i was hating on your original post, is because it was an extremely absurd statement that made zero sense. first, you started out by defending marijuana, and then you said that legalizing it is just a waste of time. you can't get anywhere if you contradict yourself dude. second, the government does not make more money by keeping the herb illegal. take a moment to consider all the money and resources, that our government allocates to the combat the "problem" that is marijuana. also consider how much money it took to arrest me; they had to pay two police officers, three jail guards, a judge, two court clerks, and a court bailiff. they also have to pay a probation officer to keep track of me. you really think that getting me to pay $600 makes up for the cost of all these things? you are truly foolish if you do. you should also take a moment to consider the amount of revenue that our government could collect off of marijuana if it was legal. I have seen research that suggest the our government could make $12 billion a year, off of taxing marijuana. if you want to know how i got caught, you can read my previous thread's regarding this situation; i explain the whole story. your comment about knowing a 13 year old who sold "pills, weed, and what not" is of no relevance, and is down right moronic; you sound like a 12 year old that doesn't know the difference between what is right and wrong in this world. you also have lead me to question your judgment; clearly you are trying to lecture me about getting caught, yet you admit that you associate with people who sell dangerous narcotics like pills and "what not". clearly, you have to re-evaluate your own judgement, and how your criticism towards me is distorted. if your 13 year old friend truly sold pills, and substances other than marijuana, than he is at wrong, and i hope that he can mature and grow into a citizen that provides positive contributions for society.
